About Killing Time: Resurrected:
Killing Time: Resurrected is an HD edition of the humorous horror shooter once described as “the bastard child of Doom and The 7th Guest.” When it was released in 1995, the original Killing Time quickly became a smash hit among fans of action, adventure, mystery, and puzzle games. Killing Time: Resurrected features toggleable high-resolution character artwork/sprites from the original 3DO and PC versions of the game, upscaled environmental texturing, smoother gameplay, more responsive controls, and expanded control and key-bind settings.
Set in the early 1930s, Killing Time: Resurrected casts players as a former Egyptology student trapped in the estate of wealthy heiress Tess Conway. Ms. Conway's ritual to bestow eternal life backfires, and her high-society friends vanish without a trace. It’s up to players to find and destroy the mystical Egyptian Water-Clock to undo its curse and face a legion of supernatural horrors.
