About A Little Time
A Little Time puts you in the shoes of John Marshall McClaney, a disgraced private investigator navigating 1935 London to solve the mystery of a missing man by collecting clues and piecing together a larger conspiracy. What sets it apart is its focus on detective work through exploration and object interaction, letting you slowly uncover the truth through careful observation and deduction across multiple interconnected locations.
A Little Time is a first-person interactive story. You play as a young but determined detective investigating a man's disappearance. You will travel to a variety of locations and pick up clues while experiencing the story, dialogue, and atmospheric visuals.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
A Little Time is an unfinished and poorly documented game that leaves players confused and frustrated due to the complete lack of tutorials, instructions, or clear interaction prompts. Players report numerous bugs including getting stuck in rooms, missing NPCs, incomplete assets, and technical issues like screen tearing and missing UI elements like pause menus or graphics settings. The overwhelming consensus is that this appears to be an abandoned asset flip not worth downloading even for free.
you get stuck in a place where there is a bookshelf and cant exit to another place. i would like it if there is a text if i dont hear what it says. and instructions to how to move and what does what like E gets to investagate2 found this helpful
I downloaded this for a puzzle, yet what I got was a stuck in a garage.... and I can't hit esc to give me any time of what to do next so I get stuck...horrible game
nice
Abandoned game that has no tutorial, no instructions (interact button is E), areas that don't show as 'investigate', missing NPCs (had to talk to an NPC that didn't even show an interaction point. Just got lucky by randomly clicking interact button.) Story is completely missing and leaves the player utterly confused. Free game but not even worth downloading.
[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] A Little Time is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is an abandoned Early Access attempt at making a for-profit Unreal asset flip. It's just a couple of rooms with some asset flipped furniture, wrapped around a basic adventure game blueprint. Then I guess the "developer" got bored or disheartened when they discovered nobody wanted to play an Early Access Unreal asset flip. A Little Time is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "A Little Time", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. The developer…
This game feels like it's even less than early access, it feels like it's still in development - Super freaking buggy, terribly broken, runs like a slop and has tearing from what I noticed - In the mansion where you exit by the stairs I encountered a problem, the "secret room" didn't open up completely and when I tried exiting I couldn't, it didn't even play a voice line or anything - Has no settings where you could change graphics, controls, FOV, nor even sensitivity, it let alone doesn't even have a pause menu nor a main menu - The speed at which you move feels too fast and uncanny, it's unpleasant, also can't crouch which kind of feels weird to me - There's an unbearable silence that's occasionally broken by the main character when you investigate or interact with anything - You can jump on random objects that sometimes send you spinning at the speed of light and once you jump you end up flying in whatever direction you were spinning into at the moment of the jump, which also allowed me to get on top of one of those huge cargo containers in the hangar, which allowed me to peek into the windows and see the "world" which was made up of a few blocks of bricks and the void …
