Humorous Time-based Puzzle Game Review
Time Benders - Part 1: The Appendages of the Machine is a premium adventure game by indie developer Joel Jordon. This top-down puzzler offers real-time gameplay mechanics, immersing players in a unique experience. Players step into the shoes of a worker navigating the mundane aspects of their job while uncovering unsettling truths about their employer. Drawing inspiration from classic PS1 games, Time Benders Part 1 boasts low-poly graphics and a casual, humorous narrative, setting it apart from traditional dark-themed adventures.
In this game, players assume the role of a worker in a mysterious yet prosperous company, tasked with menial duties in exchange for valuable Time Crystals. However, as the tasks become increasingly time-consuming, players realize they are being underpaid for their efforts. With the ability to manipulate time using these crystals, players embark on a heist to reclaim what is rightfully theirs, all while evading security measures. Despite the short gameplay duration, the game promises a series continuation, leaving players eagerly awaiting the next installment.
