Idk if you've played any of the new Spiderman games but at most they all take place over a week or two
@Alexcicle good point actually

2 days ago

Do time loop games count ? Twelve minutes takes um, well...

2 days ago

Deathloop on here is funny, it is technically one day but they say in the game that they’ve been there over like 16 years. Still I’m all for the technicality.
pretty sure all RE games take place in less than a week, hell, the 3 hour achievement for REmake leads me to believe that the mansion incident only took place that night

Also worth noting that Phantom Hourglass takes place in a single minute due to time dialation (same with Majora now that I think about it too)
Kane and lynch 2

1 day ago

Sekiro and Bloodborne both take place in under a day
star wars episode 4 is the span of like, 2 days lmao
Not even joking, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is about an entire war that happens in a single day.
@CrossOfFate damn I haven't heard of a war that short since The Seven Hour War
KH Chain of memories takes place from day 24 (when Sora enters the castle) to 50 (when Riku's story ends) of 358/2 Days. not sure how much it counts given it's 26 days compared to the very few days or periods of time the other games on this list take place over
@VentusVulture I didn't actually know that
I'm still getting through 358 and those pieces didn't connect lol (also jeez Sora spent a long ass time in that castle)

1 day ago

Yo i forgot that in Ghostrunner 2 there’s a timeskip of like 2 weeks because the main character is unconscious. You can remove it if you want to.
@NeatNoMercy ah thank you!

21 hrs ago

@Blodyssey3004 No stress bro. Kinda forgot that about Ghostrunner 2 since the story was so dogshit and i might have repressed the memory of it.

20 hrs ago

Gal*Gun Double Peace actually takes place during a day only, from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
@PeterGabriel oh god you're gonna make me put Gal*Gun on here

@Bloodyssey3004 I do and there's nothing the universe can do to stop me.
