Barcelona-based game developer GROUND Game Atelier announced The Time I Have Left got delayed to next year.

The Time I Have Left will forgo its previously announced 2023 release for one sometime next year. When the new time-drive escape game launches, it’ll be on Windows PC (via Steam).

Over the last year and a half our small team of two has grown to over ten people working regularly on The Time I Have Left,” says Juan Estévez (Yite), creative lead at GROUND. “We’re pleased to reveal our new gameplay trailer and to make the game playable on the showfloor at Gamescom. We’re looking forward to revealing more soon and to launching The Time I Have Left for PC in 2024.”

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game:

In 6 Hours You Will Be Dead
