Tick Tock is an action-RPG style game where the player must complete the game before the time limit runs out and is based in a sci-fi universe. The player takes control of Zeddick, a security guard in escort to a brilliant scientist, Kendari. Zeddick had been escorting Kendari and her crew to an experimentation site when an explosion caused Zeddick to black out. When he awoke he found himself capable of great feats of strength, speed and mutation. He consulted a doctor who gave him only a certain amount of time to live and no hope of finding a cure. From here the player must discover the perpetrator behind the explosion, develop a twist in the story, develop relationships with other character and be set upon an emotional rollercoaster all before the timer ticks out and Zeddick dies, his mutations too much for him to bear.
However, the player will encounter characters willing to experiment on Zeddick to try and prolong his demise so if the player gets caught on a specific task for a bit longer than they intended, all is not lost. Depending on the character conducing the experiment the timer will increase based on their skill. Some will demand payment for their services while others will simply be satisfied with the opportunity to see something never before seen.
There will also be away for the player to increase the time they have through the level up system. The level up system will contain your normal array of stat increases alongside unique skill selections, some of which increase your resistance to mutations. Mutations also grant benefits which can also be selected in the skill tree, however, these have the reverse effect and decrease the amount of time the player has left in the game. To tempt the player further, some of these mutations will be very powerful, which can potentially allow the player to progress through the game more quickly.
