The devious thing is, because you’re not affected by your own time distortion🧔s, you can’t use the suit to rescue yourself. If you die, you’re dead. You can still interact with the physical world, though: if you’re reversing time and a fallen barrel is floating back up to its perch, it’s possible to jump on it and hitch a ride to reach a better sniper point.

If you've played such games as FEAR and Max Payne, you'll already understand how much fun slow-mo powers can be. You’re a superhero. You can pick your shots in a temporal tussle. But TimeShift takes things further, making for some interesting puzzles. At one point, the only way to cross a gap is to use slow-mo to run through a dangling pipe. If you temporally freeze it, it won’t tip sufficiently at the far end, yet if you run at normal speed it’ll tip too far🍌. Cunningly devious.
