Time Rift is a 2022 puzzle-shooter game, where you spend every level trying to navigate a maze full of obstacles while staying a step ahead of the AdvancingWallOfDoom and collecting coins. Central to the gameplay is the TimeRewindMechanic, which lets you go back through your progression in the current level as far as you go... but since some obstacles do not get restored by the rewind, this opens a new tactical layer for the puzzles.

Time Rift is a 2022 puzzle-shooter game, where you spend every level trying to navigate a maze full of obstacles while staying a step ahead of the AdvancingWallOfDoom and collecting coins. Central to the gameplay is the TimeRewindMechanic, which lets you go back through your progression in the current level as far as you go... but since some obstacles do not get restored by the rewind, this opens a new tactical layer for the puzzles.

!!This game provides examples of:
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: One you need to stay a step ahead of at all time outside of the story-driven levels. Much of the game revolves around changing the direction the wall is advancing ''from''.
* AntiFrustrationFeature: The rewind system means that after any failure, you can go back in time by exactly as long as you want. Furthermore, collecting coins is perfectly optional - you can challenge yourself with a HundredPercentCompletion to catch them all, or shrug off and ignore some hard-to-reach coins as you progress to the next level.
* [[spoiler:ArtificialIntelligence: VaultCo's EvilPlot revolves around creating AI good enough to impersonate and replace most human workers.]]
* CorporateConspiracy: [[spoiler:Your employer is trying to replace countless employees with artificial intelligences. And, incidentally, not pay you.]]
* TimeRewindMechanic: One you're expected to make full use of. Not just to retry after a failure, but as a necessary tool to solve some of the puzzles.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: With a {{Cyberpunk}} flavor. Of note is Vaultco's [[spoiler:artifical intelligence system, designed to replace and outright impersonate employees]].
