CHARACTER INFO

Ben was only ever good at one thing - getting away. He’s the kind to leave his troubles infuriated and far behind: teachers, bullies, and now the ladies and the cops. Using his Wheels of Fortune, he's the best getaway driver in the game, Burning Rubber as he tears down the City streets. Ben’s awakening and the new condition it brings puts his “career” in jeopardy: he now ages from infancy to old age every year and is reborn on January 1st. He recently found that his connection with the year runs even deeper, as he’s able to manipulate the Sign of the Times to suit his own way, making him come to the realization: “I am the Year!”


Tick-tock, tick-tock. Can you feel it? It’s time, running out. If you aged a hundred times faster than everyone else, like me, you’d feel it too. We’re connected, me and the year - I can feel what it will bring, I can even ask it to rain down its troubles on your head. But I’m not the kind to dwell on these things. Time is always running out for me, so I try to outrun it as best I can.
