"Killing Time" is a first-person shooter video game developed for the Panasonic 3DO console, released in 1995. Set on the eerie estate of the wealthy and mysterious Tess Conway in 1932, the game blends historical elements with supernatural horror. The player takes on the role of an ex-Egyptologist who is on the hunt for a lost Egyptian artifact, which leads them to the isolated estate. The game is known for its atmospheric setting and unique storyline, where the environment plays a pivotal role in the gameplay. As players navigate through the sprawling mansion and its surroundings, they encounter a variety of ghosts and evil creatures, unraveling the dark secrets of the Conway estate and the fate of its inhabitants.
The development of "Killing Time" utilized live-action video sequences to convey its story—a cutting-edge technique at the time. These video segments featured actors in period-appropriate costumes and were integrated into the 3D-rendered environments of the game, providing a more immersive and narrative-driven experience compared to other shooters from that era. The game's distinctive art style and the use of texture-mapped environments, along with an atmospheric soundtrack, contributed to a compelling horror ambiance. Despite being originally released on the 3DO, "Killing Time" was later ported to Windows PCs, where it reached a wider audience. Its unique blend of action, storytelling, and puzzle-solving elements, along with its moody graphical style, has made it a cult classic among vintage game enthusiasts.
