Time Flies buzzes onto Steam as this little insect adventure about the shortness of life lands in your coffee

Not many people are fond of flies, but I have a theory that if they didn’t buzz, people would be far less bothered by their presence. Although having said that, I did actually get bitten by a horsefly at an Oasis concert recently and needed a massive dose of antibiotics to stop the infection spreading down my leg, so I hate them whether they are buzzing or carrying out stealth attacks.

Fortunately, surviving nature’s winged ones is not the order of the day in this unusual little adventure where you are a fly, and not just a fly, a fly with a bucket list of goals to complete before you die. And as we all know, flies don’t last long. Therein lies the challenge.

With that said, you don’t need to do anything either. You can choose to enjoy life.  A philosophical fly game we never thought we’d get. Here’s how the devs describe it:

“In Time Flies, you’re a fly – your life is short, but your bucket list is long! Learn an instrument, read a book, become rich, get drunk, or make someone smile. And if you don’t feel like pursuing your goals, you can just relax, clean your wings, and listen to music. Make the best of the time you have left, because we’re all going to die.”

You can grab Time Flies now on Steam for 10% off as a launch discount. It’s also available on PlayStation 5, Switch, and Mac if you are looking for something super unusual to anything you have played before.
