Developer Joel Jordan has dropped Time Bandit ? Part 1: Appendages of the Machine on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1481910/Time_Bandit__Part_1_Appendages_of_the_Machine/) and itch.io (https://phoenixup.itch.io/time-bandit) today. You might remember it from my blockbuster article, ?Here are eleven 2022 indie games to look forward to (https://www.destructoid.com/eleven-2022-indie-games-to-look-forward-to-pc-list/).? It?s now the middle of (checks watch) 2023, and it has finally arrived.
Time Bandit is the story of having a crappy job and working for the man. In this case, however, the man is exploiting workers and using them to gather time crystals for potentially nefarious purposes.

But slow down there since Time Bandit also runs on a real-time clock. Sort of like Pokemon Gold/Silver! Your shift is based on real-world time, and different tasks take different amounts of time. Sometimes you even need to meet characters at a specific time of day that they?ll schedule with you in advance. You?d going to need to rein in that spontaneity if you want to overthrow your capitalist overlords.
I was hoping to get a review of Time Bandit ? Part 1: Appendages of the Machine up at launch, but ironically, I just haven?t had the time. Hopefully, I can circle back to it because I really enjoyed the build that I played last year. I also provided feedback directly to Joel, so I?m eager to see if any of it was incorporated. It?s like I have skin in the game when, in reality, I?m not really much different than any normal commenter.
Time Bandit ? Part 1: Appendages of the Machine is available on PC and Mac via Steam and itch.io starting today.
