Time is Solid Here
A long, yellow hallway. A floating head who talks of monster trucks and places in-between. A painting, three a plenty, each with someone in need of moving on.
Such is the horror puzzle game, Time is Solid Here, recently selected for the Goethe-Institut's Stillstand/Standstill Project Exhibition.
NOTICE: The AI art in this game does not represent my current views on the subject. Please read this blog post for more details.
FEATURES:
- Surreal paintings and puzzles ripe for exploration.
- Friend and foe alike brought to life through OpenGAN-generated pieces and custom artwork.
- A unique soundtrack produced for the game, consisting of an odd blend of industrial, psychadelic, and classical tunes. A remaster of the soundtrack, created by Nolan Alighieri of the Nephilim Novel, is available here, and can be downloaded below!
- Hidden secrets which change the way you see its world.
- A life-affirming game experience.

I thought this game was really good until I heard about the ai
i really liked the game before i saw the ai, :(
It was made before people saw ai as bad (like when it just came out). You can see their post for owning up to it + saying they will never use ai again. They also were unaware it was used by stealing art. ^^
Music is amazing! would love to have my music featured in the next game you put out
I would like to separately praise the music
good game like the art the story line and dialogue is funny good job
Absolutely love how you use AI here! (I've read your blog and appreciate it as well).
great game, got eaten several times in 3rd painting
immediately forgot how to delete when typing in-game... since there's no way to check and leaving doesn't reset the text box, had to restart the game :(
if you messed it up twice or smth they just let you in.
ah didn't know that. i woulda wanted to do it properly anyway (i knew the answer!!! i just couldn't write it TT)
Thats what happened to me to! i couldnt delete it but i knew the answer. i eventually gave up hit submit and it let me in pathetically lmao
Third painting made me pee myself a little 10/10
este juego me pareció muy conmovedor y profundo, una excelente experiencia surrealista
I love this game
third painting is immpossible for me :(
I adore this so much, omg. Everything about this game was really good, and it was well made. Although it was pretty short, it still portrayed the characters really well, and I find that amazing. 10/10 I would love to see more games like this. ;3
10/10 amazing game with great dialogue writing and atmosphere
but also let me date charon
I desire Charon
This was a nice play, I really enjoyed it! (✿◡‿◡)
Made an account for this. I played this game impulsively, not really interested, I was just procrastinating hard on my uni papers. And, just.., wow. I love it. I'm in awe. I sincerely hope the best of luck for you and your upcoming projects. I know I'll come back to this game once years pass, and I hope it'll still be here by then. Also on the AI, glad you learned! In the past, it was far from controversial. But now, its a different story
also the soundtrack, DAMN! i was playing the game with my volume low bc I was scared of jumpscares but near the end I increased it. I regret not playing with the volume higher
You know what, hell yeah, that's a really good game. AI art works really good here.
imo this kind of ai art is a pass for me. the weird dreamy nature of it gives it its own grip apart from having an ultra realistic depiction of not just something that already exists but trying to act as a replacement for real art direction. only played the first painting but this game so far fucks.
I think outright disregarding things because of ai is stupid.
I understand why people dislike Ai art but acting pretentious and thinking you can dictate what makes something art or objectively good. This is the kind of snobby stuff that makes people want to support AI in the first place. Quit being a baby and enjoy the game lol.
He made a good game with a great story that just happened to use AI, nothing about its substance would change if there were AI sprites or not.
Amazing game. Enjoyed it a bunch, great work! Recorded a playthrough as well :)
Amazing game 10/10 you should make a part two of this game this game was amazing you should keep making games like this im not the one to force you to do it but im just saying i like your work :)
amazing game, 10/10
the fact that the monster in the third painting was the monster inside that soldier man was absolutely bone chilling.
thank you so much for providing such an experience
>W< amazing
This game is a masterpiece, truly. The narrative is great, the puzzles are too, and the art is really chilling and cool at the same time. Also love how you handled the topics about AI.
Master piece
All from the emotion interact to the pshycological horror
i think the only issue is when u run from the monster to the lockers he just keeps standing there no longer pursuite you
But overall it was a pure work
keep it up
Great game, emotional rollercoaster, love it.
This was a good game and for some reason after playing it my guard is still up
Great narrative
"Un pasillo largo y amarillo. Una cabeza flotante que habla de camiones monstruo y lugares intermedios. Un cuadro, tres en total, cada uno con alguien que necesita seguir adelante. Así es el juego de rompecabezas de terror, Time is Solid Here , recientemente seleccionado para la Exposición del Proyecto Stillstand/Standstill del Goethe-Institut."
