''Killing Time'', despite its general first-person shooter gameplay is unique, especially for its time. It was one of the first FPS games to feature interconnected levels forming a continuous open world, rather than a simple set of linear levels. Throughout the game the plot is slowly revealed to the player through numerous ghostly {{Cutscene}}s which are integrated into the game level geometry, all of them performed by a cast of professional actors. Unlike other games that deal in the mythology of other cultures, the producers of ''Killing Time'' relayed accurate knowledge of Egyptian lore in the story. Also unique for its time, the game even includes several [[NotableOriginalMusic songs written exclusively for the game]] along with an impressive sound track.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: At first, the game being named "Killing Time" seems like just a general "trying to be badass" name that a lot of "Doom Clones" came up with at the time, such as "Gloom", "Chasm", or "Powerslave". However, the plot involves an island being trapped in time because of a curse that has broken the flow of time on the island, ''literally'' "killing time".
