The year is 2052…Following the Global Peace Treaty and formation of the Global Space Agency, Physis 5 is on a mission to discover our next home…
As the newbie, you’ll be meeting the crew and helping out where you can as you search for a planet suitable for sustaining human life whilst Earth recovers…
Time From Earth is a narrative adventure game where you’ll:

  • Experience a day-to-day system, speaking to everyone & completing tasks and at the end of the day, head back to the accommodation to start the next day
  • Play through simple mini-games to help maintain the ship
  • Learn about what’s happened in the 30 years between now and flight of Physis 5
  • Uncover a mystery onboard the ship…

The game features a simple save system which records which day you’re on at the end of each day. So it’s advised to finish a day before quitting…
Here’s some great comments from players:

  • “…brings back memories of being lost for hours (in a good way) in early GameBoy titles.” somayweall
  • “…a great story with puzzles game.” jarrodl
  • “Imagine a tiny Mass Effect, only just the chatting and getting to know people part. In miniature, 2D and monochrome.” finglonger

Overall, each day takes 5-10 minutes with the game lasting just over an hour. So it’s snackable or bingeable!
