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. Its 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.

Pros and cons of A Wise Use of Time app for iPhone and iPad

A Wise Use of Time app good for

Overall I really enjoyed it. However having only played through once I feel like the male love interests are all horrible compared to the female ones. Gonna try again and see if my choices help.
I love this read. Exciting to know that the ending is based on what you would do next. Another plus is that you can read it again with different endings. I would buy Lifeline 3 if they make one. I also read Lifeline 1.
So far, this has been my favourite Choice Game. Same guy who did Zombie Exodus, and it shows in the quality. The ending being a what next based on your choices is a nice touch.
Im a big fan of Choice of Games, even though the writing of some are not exceptionally deep, and more about choices than story. This, however, was incredibly well written, deep, and felt like the perfect mix of story and options. Highly recommend giving it a try!
This was an amazing game dont get me wrong. And if it werent for one thing that really frustrates me itd have all five stars! But for the life of me I cant figure out how to wind up with Raj. I can get him to kiss me but it never went past that. Either hed say Im a bad influence on him because I tried to make him like me and it backfired in the end, or he wouldnt be interested at all in me because I wasnt enabling his gambling when Id try to be a better influence. So either way Raj would turn me down in the end after I spent hours trying to wind up with his character. And I CANT figure it out! When I say I spent hours Im not kidding at all, I spent HOURS trying to get his ending. Its beyond irritating. Maybe Im just stupid that I missed something I dont know, but my annoyance over this is what makes me take away a star.
The best choice of games, fame by far. Great story, and I feel your choices really influence the game. The story and characters are great.

Some bad moments

Theres a lot content to explore in this game, you cant see all of it in one play through so it definitely encourages replays, which I love. Also has an incredibly compelling plot line and plenty of variations on the ending, making gameplay more satisfying and your choices more meaningful.
This is a text based game which gives lots of player choices, great characters, and exciting plot. Highly recommended.
This game was awesome. Wonderful story and great writing. The interesting characters and great amount of choices make this a top choice for cog fans. Probably the best cog of the year. Definitely recommend
Jim D is a fantastic writer, I was first introduced to his most popular story, zombie exodus which was addicting. This one is just as amazing, I was hooked on it from the start.
This is from the author of Zombie Exodus. Its much different than that game, but still very enjoyable. This is more super hero based. I felt the characters were stronger in this game, but I still miss Uncle Lou.
Replay value is there. Interesting content and idea that I cant get enough of. If all the games Ive played by these people were rated in order of awesome id say this is second only to the heroes rise games. I am also partial to choice of romance, but eh...I like the drama.
