About This GameWith 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?

I have mixed feelings about this novel. While the concept was interesting, I felt it was poorly executed. You find your character in a number of contrived situations and you get the choice of how, or whether or not, to use your power to stop time. In my first playthrough I chose the options that best represented what I believed I would do, and while I found that the options were (usually) sufficient for that, between chapters I was given a narrative about how my character had been fighting crime and helping people with his power, which was completely contrary to how I had been behaving, as for the most part I'd been conservative with my powers, and those few times I had used it, it was for the gain of myself or my direct friends, not random people on the street.
