The Time I Have Left Did Not Rip Off Expedition 33, But It Looks Awesome

by

The recent success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has renewed interest in turn-based RPGs, but it’s also led some players to claim that the upcoming game The Time I Have Left is too similar. While The Time I Have Left does share some features with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, its developers insist it’s an original game.

This year has seen several major game releases, including titles like Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, and Battlefield 6. However, a new developer, Sandfall Interactive, surprised everyone with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The game’s compelling story and well-designed turn-based combat have made it a highlight of the year, and players who enjoyed Clair Obscur might also be interested in The Time I Have Left.

The Time I Have Left Faces Expedition 33 Comparisons, But Developers Promise the Game Stands On Its Own

  • The Time I Have Left does not have a release date yet, but a playable demo is available on Steam.
  • The game is a turn-based RPG with dodging and parrying similar to Expedition 33.
  • Its story follows main protagonist Aline in a race against time after being marked for death by a strange force known as “The Miasma.”

I’ve been checking out the gameplay footage Ground posted on X, and honestly, it’s easy to see why everyone’s drawing comparisons to Expedition 33. Beyond just how it plays like The Time I Have Left, there are some similar themes in the stories too – both games center around characters who are marked for death. But visually, they’re really different! The developers of The Time I Have Left have also pointed out that all this stuff was actually in the first demo they released way back in 2022, so it’s not like they’re copying anything new.

Following the positive reception of Expedition 33, it’s likely to be nominated for Game of the Year. Hopefully, this will generate excitement for The Time I Have Left as well, rather than overshadow it. While the two games share some similarities, they also have distinct qualities. The Time I Have Left’s unique art style and story that focuses on time should appeal to fans of Expedition 33.

Ground hasn’t announced a release date for The Time I Have Left yet. Fans of Expedition 33 can follow the developer on social media and Steam for the latest updates on the game’s development.
