Written and Directed by Pablo Lara & Rafael Pavon Produced by Future Lighthouse & RTVE (2017)
Race against the clock in “Save the Time,” an exhilarating virtual reality experience that brings the beloved Spanish TV series “The Ministry of Time” to life in a whole new dimension
This 15-minute adventure transforms viewers into active Ministry agents, tasking them with a high-stakes mission to thwart the plans of the infamous “Angel Exterminator” sect. As players race against time to prevent changes to Spain’s history, they must navigate familiar locations from the series, interact with beloved characters, and solve challenging puzzles that test their wit and nerve.
“Save the Time” represents a significant leap forward in transmedia storytelling. By blending elements of video games, escape rooms, and interactive narratives, we’ve created a uniquely engaging experience that extends the TV series’ universe in innovative ways. Players must use their investigative skills and quick thinking to unravel the mystery, collect crucial objects, and make split-second decisions that could alter the course of history.
The project’s success—reaching 100,000 downloads in its first two months on the PlayStation VR store—demonstrates VR’s potential to bridge the gap between traditional television audiences and interactive entertainment. By allowing fans to step inside the world of their favourite show, “Save the Time” enhances viewer engagement and opens up new storytelling possibilities in the digital age.
