A downloadable game

Borrowed Time is a narrative-driven 2D exploration RPG with cozy pixel art and deep emotional storytelling. Set in a fantastical post-heroic world, you play as an immortal Elf who’s been fused with the fading soul of her long-lost love — a human Hero who died.

Now, you have one last chance to speak with him again... if you can find the Five Sacred Spells before his memory fades forever.

Gameplay Highlights

  • 🌿 Switch Between Two Characters: Use the Elf’s magic and endurance or the Hero’s human warmth and combat skill. Each action drains his memory, so use him wisely.

  • 💬 Narrative Exploration: Uncover flashbacks, hidden spells, easter eggs and personal stories by exploring magical world filled with secrets and side quests.

  • Time as a Resource: The Hero’s memory fades with every action. Will you spend his time to help others... or save it to reach the end?

  • 🧠 Puzzle & Strategy: Decide which character to use for each challenge. Some paths need patience. Others need heart.

  • 🎨 Emotional Pixel Art: A warm, melancholic atmosphere inspired by the manga and anime Frieren.

Themes

Love, memory, regret, grief, sacrifice — and what it means to hold onto someone who’s already gone.

Your Choices Matter

Two endings await. One is hopeful. The other is heartbreaking. Only you can decide whether their story ends in reunion... or in silence.
