About About Time!
About Time! is an incremental game set in a corporate job where the hours slip away while you work. You buy gears, and those gears are what drive your score up.
There's a catch. You can hold five gears at most, so every purchase is a choice about which ones deserve a spot. It has roguelike and deck-building touches, which puts the focus on choosing well rather than clicking fast.
You can play About Time! online in a browser tab, and the title screen has a Tutorial button if gears are new to you. Try About Time! free right here. The art is bold pixel work in purple and pink, with clock hands built into the logo.

What to Expect in About Time!
About Time! is small and focused. The office theme gives it a wry sense of humor about watching the clock, and the five-gear cap keeps every decision tight.
If you like incremental games where a few smart picks matter more than hours of grinding, this one fits. The roguelike streak means each attempt can play out a little differently.
Tips for About Time!
- Run the tutorial once before your first real attempt. It explains buying and gears faster than trial and error.
- Treat your five gear slots as precious. A weak gear takes up room a stronger one could use.
- Put your money into gears that add the most to your score before anything else.
- If you're unsure about a gear, wait. Leaving a slot open for a better one can pay off.
- Try a few runs with different picks to see which mix scores highest.
