Why don’t games play around with time more?

From Eurogamer: “I am a lonely little probe, sent deep into space, for there’s a menacing anomaly on the space-time horizon and I must investigate it. I have journeyed for hundreds of years. Are my creators still alive, is their civilization still alive? For I exist outside of their cycles of life and their experiences of time. I last. It’s why I was sent here. I drift, listening and scanning planets to hear what they have to say. And sometimes they speak back.”
