It seems to be a point and click and it also seems to deal with time and certain timeframes. This makes me wonder if we are talking about puzzles that need to be solved in a certain time or if - which is what I like in a point and click - the time is just part of the story and will only move in certain events so that you still have all the time you want to solve the puzzles.

Not my kind of game, then.

I could be wrong, but I think it's a sort of Groundhog Day/Majora's Mask scenario where the same time period plays over and over but with different outcomes? What I mean is, I imagine it might be real-time, but with an infinite number of attempts.

You're right. The time period is 24 ingame-minutes. An ingame-minute only passes once you transition from one area to another, so the gameplay is pretty laid back. When your time is over the protagonist gets killed until you eventually figure out a way to circumvent death.

The game is really well written, often funny and fully voiced (great voice-overs). I'd describe it as Blade Runner meets David Lynch. Highly recommended.

There are certain items in the game which are required to progress. E.g. there's a path that lets you build a device to manipulate time. The game doesn't allow you to just build said device in a single run. Multiple runs and attempts are needed in order to progress. Most runs get you a little closer to the goal of avoiding your character's demise, as you're allowed to choose one item which will remain in your inventory during all subsequent runs.

Items and conversations lead to certain randomized events, new dialogue-options and ultimately determine your characters fate and the outcome of the game.

It's not as repetitive as it may sound. Each of my 8 runs so far has been unique and got me a little closer to surviving 7.57 pm. And I met David.
