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.

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."

definitely enjoyed this one. one of a kind
SICKKK! loved the entire experience playing it for real. good job!
only issue i had was exiting from the menu but other than that, peak game
wow this might be one of the best games on the site here's an award
What a masterpiece! this game was insane, i loved it
good game though painting 3 scared me half to death almost ended up there 🤣
Damn. This game was insane. Honestly one of the best games I've played on this site. I did a playthrough.
bulls it be a horror game i'm in tears
This was... something else.
life changing game
why when I press options to turn the music down I cant get out
Not to get all English teacher here, but this game to me is an allegory of life, and that you may not always know what is going on, or if you're making the right choices, but in the end, you can look back and realize that your "purpose" in life is whatever you decide it should be. On top of all that, Charon to me is a representation of the voice inside your head, the one who tells you not where to go, nor what to do, but tells you how things are.
It's a great game, and I would HIGHLY recommend it. However, it's one of those games you only play once—not because it's bad, but because it's an experience you only get from one playthrough.
游戏很好玩背景音乐很优秀
Great game, and the music was EXCELLENT!
loveddd!! all of the paintings were too good to just have one favoritee!!
Hey, I'm a bit silly, so I couldn't find the language selection part. Can you help me?
To play the game in another language, please click on one of the links in this game's description. Each language is a seperate page :)
Solid like a snake?
I cannot express how much I enjoyed this, best game I've played in a while! I genuinely liked listening to the stories of all the characters, and the whole game had kind of a creepy/disturbing vibe. Highly recommend to anyone considering playing this!
Wow, I'm not really a person that gets chills from games but this? This game was something else.
Thank you to everyone who worked on this little masterpiece.
I don't get why this game is not popular enough. It's deep and really meaningful. I lost my wish to play any game or to do anything at all due to the responsibilities and stress ive on me, also the aging. But this game made me enjoy the thing im doing once again, after a really long time. Thank you so much. The perspectives, stories, THE WAY YOU LET US GET THE IDEA ABOUT IT BY OURSELVES WITH THOSE TINY DETAILS, IM CRAZY ABOUT THAT PART, the way it makes us think so deeply on the answers we are getting without any other questions left... It's an amazing game. Thank you for existing and making this game, haha<3
(as a music lover and creator myself, im in love with the soundtrack also)
… Incredible game. Maybe one of the bests on Itch.io.
