An Absurd Future Awaits in GOST of Time
The bizarre and brain-twisting action puzzler GOST of Time is set to release on August 15 across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Microsoft Store, all for a launch price of $9.99.
Ahead of release, several platforms are offering generous discounts. Players who pre-order on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or Microsoft Store can grab the game at 20% off.

In GOST of Time, you step into a distant, dystopian future where the government regulates the time. The game follows an elderly man in need of medication who turns to a Time-Clone device to fetch his pills. You control a clone sent into a time-warping machine filled with puzzles, traps, and other complications.
Gameplay revolves around solving these challenges using clever time mechanics. Each time you rewind, your previous self repeats your past actions. You’ll need to coordinate with these time clones, sometimes cooperating, sometimes avoiding conflict, to navigate increasingly complex puzzles. Your biggest strength is your own history, but so is your greatest obstacle.
With its dark humor, quirky sci-fi setting, and time-based gameplay, GOST of Time offers a unique blend of action, logic, and absurdity. Whether you’re a puzzle fan or just looking for something different, this one is worth a look.
