Publisher Panic and developer Playables have announced that Time Flies, the hand-drawn adventure about mortality and meaning, will release on July 13 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The game will be available for $14.99/€14.99, with a 10% launch discount for a limited time.

Created by Michael Frei, the developer behind KIDS and Plug & Play, Time Flies puts players in the wings of a housefly. Your time is short, and your bucket list is long—learn an instrument, become rich, fall in love, or simply do nothing. As you flit through a beautifully sketched world filled with small details and big metaphors, your lifespan is determined by your region’s real-life average life expectancy, making each attempt as brief or as generous as geography allows.
Though deeply philosophical, Time Flies embraces absurdity. Its deceptively simple visuals hide a wealth of interactions, strange deaths, and gentle moments of reflection. Whether you’re checking off to-do list items or wasting time cleaning your wings, the game invites players to think about how they spend the minutes they’re given.
Time Flies launches July 13 on all platforms, with a short life, a small price, and a long list of tiny joys.
