Time to Rogue is a roguelike you play in glances throughout your day. Movement, attacks, and waiting spend focus, and your view narrows as it drains. Focus returns over real-world time, so resting is a move. Push on empty and you'll die blind. The maze keeps moving while the app is closed, and it can find you while you're away. Reach the deepest floor you can. Descend fast and you outrun the rising danger; linger and it catches up. Every run is different, and every death matters. Built for Apple Watch, now fully playable on iPhone too. Both versions show the same carefully limited dungeon view, and one run follows you between them. Check your run at a glance with an iPhone Home Screen widget or the Apple Watch complication. See your focus recover, get a nudge when you're ready, then jump back in. The full game is free. The optional Supporter Pack unlocks the clockwork Timekeeper dungeon theme and adds a supporter heart to the title screen. How deep can you get?
