A Wise Use of Time

With the extraordinary power to freeze time, you can ransack a casino, orchestrate a daring celebrity rescue, or cheat death itself! "A Wise Use of Time" is a thrilling 260,000-word interactive sci-fi novel by Jim Dattilo, acclaimed author of "Zombie Exodus" and winner of the 2011 XYZZY "Special Recognition" award for interactive fiction. Your choices alone control the story, taking you on an immersive journey fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Master Time, Face Consequences

When you freeze time, no one can see you, hear you, or stop you—except, perhaps, a handful of mysterious time controllers like yourself. But every second you steal places immense stress on your body and mind, demanding a delicate balance between power and self-preservation. Will you bring justice to the mobsters who run rampant in your city? Will you steal from them to provide for those in need? Will you share your incredible power with friends and family? Or will you destroy your own powers, or simply allow your powers to destroy you first? The fate of time itself is in your hands.
