I really wanted to get this one out on time but I'm up at 3AM once more! just as I was about to upload to patreon I realised an entire segment of the video had borked-up audio. Sorry about the delay!

Time's a funny thing, isn't it? We've got so much of it and yet it never feels like enough. So many games are about time, and they've all got different ways of using it to motivate and manipulate players - but what's the underlying truth behind the way video games use time?

To find out, The Architect is going to have to go deep, deep underground to play with a little game called The Longing which, as the name may imply, is very very long indeed.
