Time Runs Out Ending

Browse Endings Guides
Quick answer

Take more than 30 in-game days after the prologue without defeating Brencis. A cutscene shows the family sacrifice. The game does not force a reload or end free roam; the deadline disappears and Coen can continue, but the family remains dead and later epilogue material changes.

Take more than 30 in-game days after the prologue without defeating Brencis. A cutscene shows the family sacrifice. The game does not force a reload or end free roam; the deadline disappears and Coen can continue, but the family remains dead and later epilogue material changes.

PowerPyx lists no trophy for this outcome. It also blocks the clean In the Nick of Time result on that save. To test it safely, duplicate a manual save and wait repeatedly at a shrine until the counter passes the deadline.

This is an in-game resource limit, not a real-time timer. Exploration alone does not necessarily spend time; marked quests, choices, waiting, and day/night transitions are the relevant costs.
