[2021] Why the time limit, in universe.

Glad it makes more sense now! Once the game is out, I think that's when folks will truly understand and appreciate the mechanic!

No, the session timers are set to tick down and run out :) that seems like an interesting idea, though.

Originally posted by flux.faraday: It will be fun to see how it evolves. I know I prefer a pause button on all single player games (it's usually not healthy for me to ignore my household :) ) and I'd prefer the pause to delay the session timer as well. That still allows the lore to work, time just isn't passing while the game is off.

You do have a fair argument! However, sometimes we can't have exactly what we want in the video games we play. I'm hoping that once you get your hands on the game that you'll be able to see how flexible and non-restricting the session timers can be!
