Mainly, the illusion of choice is too easily shattered on a subsequent playthrough. Avoiding spoilers, you're cautioned about being too flashy with your powers and drawing attention to yourself. In one playthrough I followed this advice, and on the second I did the exact opposite. At the same point in the story, no matter what, you run into *spoiler.* Other than that, its a well crafted game with some great scenes and characters to fill them; all I can say is, use your powers often.. tl;dr -> Got time-stopping powers, used them to rob at every opportunity. Got rich, friend needed help - get your own money, fool. 11/10 satisfies my kleptomaniac urges.Cons:-no checkpointing system - if you mess up/die, you must restart from the beginningPros:-interesting and engaging story - numerous endings and consequences-employs the "discovery" system - character relationship stats are only revealed when you meet them (unlike many other Choice titles)-selecting/improving your different stats actually changes a lot of the dialogue, events, and decisions you can make-dynamic characters that react to your choices-good interpretation of time-"slowing" (learn more in-game) and lots of fun opportunities available-robust decision treeThis is definitely one of the stronger, well-written Choice titles available. If you are interested in controlling time, then try this one out!Recommend!Cheers,DJSF @DJSF's Rogue ReviewsMy Website[theroguereviews.com]. Buying this game might not be a wise use of time but it sure is a fun one. I know it's unfair to review a game that I've not even completed. Yes, I know I gave a thumbs down to it's previous game - Choice of robots - which will make me seem biased torwards text games. However, even though I gave a thumbs down to Choice of robots, I had some fun with it, and at least finished the game to the end.This title, "A Wise Use of Time", however, I cannot bring myself to even FINISHING it.The pacing... is slow. Oh my god is it slow. I appreciate the fact that it's trying to build itself up, but it managed to break my will to read another chapter.But really that's not the real problem I had with this game. I do not enjoy the fact that the choice of this game is mainly divided into 2 factor. "Good" or "Evil" - like the "Paragon" or "Renegade" system in Mass Effect. I personally hate this, because it over simplifies our emotion and desire. Previously in the "Choice of Robots", you had to choose what purpose you will give to your robot. Will it represent beauty and grace, or will it spread fear and overwhelming power? Or, will it act like a living human being, and become your friend? It was up to you. The world evolved around you, which is the sole purpose of a "text adventure" game.Here, it's not like that. Yes, it has many branching paths, but the main dilemma is "Will you, or will you not overuse your power to bend time for your own benifit? Consequences may happen." And this alone may be an interesting book or a conversation - but not a game, which is about the "game play". And it feels like the choices that this game presents are not intriguing enough for me to choose this game over a well written book.. Great story, looking forward to playing half a dozen more times. I have only played this game a bit, and I can tell you this: this is a must buy game! You can either choose what your character does, or you can BECOME the main character! It's such a neat idea, and it's great! If you guys want to see what the first bit of game play is like, check out this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNvEYZeBWosI highly recomend this game to anyone who likes reading/writing stories. It's amazing!. It's like corruption of champions without the porn.. I have always been a big fan of Jim Datillo since his release of "Zombie Exodus".( Which I reccomend anyone to pick up if you have available funds) What draws me to Jim is his style of writing and choices that he presesnts his reader, however I feel "A Wise Use of Time" sadly fell a bit shorter than I would have expected or liked. I am not going to say that I didn't enjoy it becasue I clearly did, it just didn't feel like it had that big of an impact on me compared to some of his other work. The characters in all of his stories are phenominal and the situations he places you in always feel real, and this can be said for this game. But in my opinion of where this game falls short is consequence. I didn't ever feel like I was doing something wrong or that a choice I made could alter the story heavily in any way a.k.a there wasn't a breaking point for me. Another issue would have to be the fact that although the characters were very well made, I didn't feel a real connection to them compared to some other reads. It also didn't have me yearning for more after it was over or during it to be honest. It was a slow ride that I went through and like a decent book I only picked up whenever I saw fit. My review however may be slightly biased becasue I am comparing this work to "Zombie Exodus" which is a completely different setting. There really is nothing wrong with this peice especially if you are into the "Choice Adventures" so I would reccomend it, but I personally just felt slightly disappointed in it. I just don't know how to share my thoughts on this piece of work correctly, so instead I will leave it at a rating. 7.75/10 P.S. He has a current sequel to Zombie Exodus in the works right now. This makes me as giddy as a school girl, also Jim-Senpai notice me.. an amazing game, well designed with none of the lazy "oh we did not think you would go this route so we kill you" tricks.
