Game Over / Death
If Eike is unable to solve a problem before his time expires, his unknown assailant will kill him in accordance with his fate. Following his "death", Eike will return to the "Darkness" where Homunculus will provide him with hints for survival. From there, Eike will once again find himself resurrected in the past and the game continues. Whenever the time limit expires while Eike is moving back in time, he will be thrown into "Time Limbo" where he will be unable to return to the past. When this occurs, the game is over.
Saving / Loading
The game can be saved at the end of each chapter. When the game is resumed, play will continue at the start of the next chapter.
The Passage of Time and CCS
Normal Passage of Time
Time progresses in real time when you move normally on the map screen.
Event Time
When an event occurs, the time elapsed during the event is reported on-screen at the end of the event. Elapsed time is predetermined for each event, and differs from the passage of real time.
CCS (Climax Crisis System)
The game will enter this mode whenever there is a very limited amount of time remaining before Eike's unfortunate event occurs. There are scenes in the game where Eike will be unable to avoid his fate unless proper action is taken within the timeframe of this mode.
