Trigger of Time

Trigger of Time – a short first-person puzzle adventure from indie studio Pantopie, released on June 6, 2025. You descend into a forgotten underground city whose inhabitants once controlled time, and with the help of their artifact, try to understand why this civilization disappeared.

In Elia's Footsteps

The story is told sparingly. The expedition that set out for the underground city vanished, leaving only traces and the notes of Elia, one of the participants who went too far in her search for the truth. You follow her, read her notes, and piece together the story step by step. There are no lengthy cutscenes or dialogue: everything is told through the discovered records and the city itself, frozen in time. The cars still hum, the statues remain intact, but there is no life.

Artifact of time

The main tool here is an artifact that controls the time of individual objects. An object can be slowed down, sped up, or stopped completely. All the puzzles are built on this: to progress, one object must be stopped, another accelerated, and a third slowed down. The tasks are physics-based, and at times the game devolves into a platformer where you have to jump between objects with altered time.

An hour and a half in the dungeons

The game takes about an hour and a half to complete, making it a one-evening game. The visual style is minimalist and dark, and the soundtrack was written specifically for the game and is available separately for free on Steam. Reviews are almost universally positive. The only connection it has with God's Trigger, Trigger Witch, and other games on the site is the title.
