Ziggurat and Nightdive Studios have added another horror title to gamers’ lists this month with the announcement that Killing Time: Resurrected, the HD remaster of the cult-classic 3DO FPS, will arrive on October 17 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
Once described as “the bastard child of Doom and The 7th Guest” Killing Time was originally released back in 1995 for the Panasonic 3DO, and subsequently ported to the PC. 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, as well as improved and expanded control and key-bind settings.
This new version of Killing Time features the best of both the PC and 3DO, with enemies and weapons that were once exclusive to their respective platform, as well as content that was cut from the original game.
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.
