Intro
This is an exploration game which reveals itself through trial and error; the journey absolutely matters. There’s plenty of things to experience that aren’t required to “win,” so explore and experiment. Ironically, the goal is to speed run. ¿Por qué no los dos?
Mechanics
  • Life Expectancy - choosing a different country will not only change the timer’s start time, but will make changes to the content (various types of censorship)
  • Bucket List - things to do before you die
  • Puzzle Pieces - hidden collectables, 3 per level, collect all 12. Not part of the Bucket List, so get them separately from a Bucket List run.
  • Clocks - if you push a clock’s minute hands counterclockwise, you turn back time, giving you more life (Roy Batty would be proud). The first time you do this, it unlocks the “Timekeeper” achievement. If you do it quickly using a country with a long life expectancy (Japan) and exceed 100 seconds, it unlocks the “Centenarian” achievement.
