Description
With the power to freeze time, you can ransack a casino, rescue a celebrity, or cheat death itself!
"A Wise Use of Time" is a thrilling 260,000-word interactive sci-fi novel by Jim Dattilo, author of "Zombie Exodus," winner of the 2011 XYZZY "Special Recognition" award for interactive fiction. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
When you freeze time, no one can see you, hear you, or stop you, except, perhaps, a handful of mysterious time controllers like yourself. Every second you steal puts more stress on your body and mind.
Will you bring justice to the mobsters who run rampant in your city? Will you steal from them to provide for those in need? Will you share your power with friends and family? Will you destroy your own powers, or will your powers destroy you first?
• Play as male or female; gay, straight, or bisexual. • Develop relationships with one of four main romantic options (or a secret one). Track your relationships and moral stats as they change. • Level up your time-control powers, or nullify them to protect yourself and others.

I actually purchased this book. You are a normal person that suddenly gains the ability to stop time. What this story does well is sell the normal person part. Working for the life insurance company was kind of boring and the boss fights were somewhat anticlimactic. The characters in game are very well-developed and the plot was good too. The author did a great job with world building and tying up loose ends at the end. It's got romance and replayability. Overall it's a good read.
★★★★☆Brandon DeGolier· Aug 22, 2023
Fantastic story, had me hooked from beginning to end. Rare occasions where choices were grayed out and there wasn't a very clear reason why. I wish the ending was slightly more fleshed out. I wanted to know about where more of the characters ended up, but they weren't all touched on. Overall, definitely worth the time and price. If only I could have the ability to halt time!

Absolutely phenomenal. One of the best, most believable versions of time manipulation I've ever seen. The story is lengthy, the characters are interesting, and the plot has a few good twists and surprises, and the end is both satisfying and open-ended enough to allow for a sequel (though I don't think it needs one). I'm happy to say that it offers some very difficult choices, and on several occasions I found myself stopping and analyzing the options. Nicely done!
★★☆☆☆Hyper Naught· Dec 3, 2016
Sloppy enough to give me pause A wise use of Time falls straight into the Mag-Lite bracket, with the underperformance I should have expected by now from such games. A premise that just begs for an intricate, multi-plot choice system, is instead served with a beelined plot. Said plot is tepid, the choices amount to a different shade of the same outcome, and the surrounding characters have the flavor and depth of a sheet of cardboard. It might waste an hour, but is worth avoiding for CoG players after a title with substance and grit.

This story just really wasn't for me so I didn't find it worth my coin. I was hoping it would be a mysterious adventure with twists and turns (because it's about controlling time you know?), but it turned out to be VERY boring. But, hey, if you like soap operas and insurance, check it out.
