Hey,

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

The Show Timer mode is like a small Speedrun Timer to show how long it takes you to finish your final run!

However it seems to be bugged right now! To actually activate it, you have to activate the option during gameplay to get the timer in the top-right corner!

I hope it helps! :)

Yes, but thats no fun, is it? :D

We might consider adding another incentive for beating the game in a set time later (would take some time though)

Hey, thanks!

Right now the extra playthroughs are mainly for exploring all the items and for the optional "Speedrun-Mode" (you can enable it in the settings) to do some quick restarts with all the Items enabled.

Early in development we actually wanted the "night-cycle" to be beatable but we scrapped that idea becouse of time and balance problems. We wanted the game to be beatable by anyone without beeing too punishing for mistakes

Hey, really glad you liked the game! :) 

Actually the time you take doesn't matter, we just wanted to tell a little story everyone can enjoy and play their own way depending on which upgrades appeal to you. If you really want you can just finish it without any upgrades. 

However once you're finished or during your regular playthrough you got the option to turn on the timer in the options and compete with your friends for the fastest time (we did that a lot during testing :D)
