Survival is a Countdown
In Borrowed Time, every tick of the clock brings the dead closer. Set in the immediate aftermath of a biological collapse, survivors must navigate quarantined city streets, overrun hospitals, and barricaded shopping malls to gather critical gear before their extraction helicopter takes off.
System Overview
- The Noise Clock: Firing an unsuppressed weapon or revving a vehicle engine raises the neighborhood threat level. Once the clock strikes midnight, swarm spawns double in size and aggression.
- Resource Scarcity: Ammunition, medical kits, and clean fuel are strictly finite. Players must decide when to fight and when to run.
- Asymmetric Infection & Panic: Wounded survivors risk turning mid-mission, creating nail-biting decisions for the rest of the fireteam.
