01 / PLAYWhat do you do in the game?
A Windows action RPG about cooperative dungeon runs through a world of colliding eras. Pocket Watches save class-specific skills and equipment, letting you change roles instead of treating every change as a fresh character. SPACE expansion adds a separate personal-space goal.
Choose your Pocket Watch and role within the group.
Fight around dungeon enemies and objectives and collect equipment.
Prepare class-specific equipment for the next cooperative run.

Capture build and date are unconfirmed. It does not establish current UI or entry steps.
Choose a class through the role you want in a group
Big Time's dungeon loop is cooperative. Alongside improving one character's equipment, consider what the group is already doing and what role you want to supply. Reading movement and combat around a shared objective explains the cooperative premise better than judging isolated attack effects. This does not establish a mandatory party composition.
The help page describes saving class-specific skills, abilities and equipment in Pocket Watches. Changing class does not imply identical preparation across every watch. Inspect the destination build to understand what is ready and what needs attention before filling a different role. The switch concerns a prepared setup, not just a name.
Separate the next combat goal from personal-space goals
Revising dungeon equipment and expanding SPACE serve different goals. Both belong to the wider game, but improving a party role and developing a personal space are not interchangeable measures of progress. Decide what you want from the next session before choosing between class preparation, combat equipment and space or cosmetic interests.
Read the room connections rather than memorize a map
The November 16, 2021 developer article linked by the official wiki describes assembling human-made rooms and terrain under predefined rules. Themes can include caves, spacecraft corridors or villages while layouts vary. This helps explain a cooperative dungeon design centered on reading connections and encounters together rather than memorizing one route. It does not verify different layouts in every current dungeon or an actual encounter or run.
Separate map assembly from future storytelling goals
The same article presents extending procedural tools beyond layouts into gameplay and storytelling as a development goal. It does not establish automatically generated quests or unlimited current stories. Read this historical design beside the retained Pocket Watch class and party-role guide. Current prices, rewards, Japanese support, authentication and device operation are not newly confirmed.

Decisions in this game
A cooperative RPG using class loadouts stored in Pocket Watches to cover party needs. Combat equipment, personal space and cosmetic production are separate goals.
These are editorial selection points inferred from official gameplay descriptions. Display order is not a rating; upcoming access and unknown conditions retain their offering scope.
Why compare this game Compare defining your combat through equipment, materials and blueprints rather than switching classes with Pocket Watches.
Build a combat style around equipment rather than class names and connect materials and blueprints to crafting. For players who want to alternate solo gathering with group dungeons.
Why compare this game Compare alternating between direct hero control and kingdom defense arrangements rather than cooperative party roles.
Alternate between directly controlling a hero on raids and designing kingdom defenses. Compare it when you want raid-time control rather than turn-based monster battles.
The current official home presents Open Access. Use the Open Loot Launcher route and read the class-switching and cooperative-dungeon explanations. Treat the wiki’s 2023 news and relative-date previews as historical material rather than current population or release schedules.
