Game over man!
But seriously i think you will have to accept that you lost sadly. Maybe you get lucky with an event that extends the time. Since daily event change with every reload you could try to reload the day until you draw the event that gives you more time.

The timer is at least on medium quite lenient as far as i experienced it. But yeah it is timed.
There are also events that extend the timer. But the timer only starts halfway through and stops after i think 4 or 5 missions.
On medium you have 25 days plus whatever bonus time you get. Havent beaten it yet but it feels like not to restrictive.

I see alot of people getting upset over the time limit halfway through. Most of them didn't even reach that point, yet they still complain. The time given is more than enough to finish the game. I understand that this is a preference thing, but acting like spoiled kids when hearing about this is just silly.

It adds tension and is perfect that it starts halfway.
Gives you time to get comfortable with the mechanics and then makes you push yourself out of your comfort zone to get just a little bit more out of the mission. It ads to the atmosphere in my oppinion.

Same thing happened with Xcom2.
Even years after release some ppl complained about that.
I don't mind the time limit. It's time to adapt if one is running out of time ^^

Even on nightmare you have enough time to finish the game without much trouble. Unless you really suck, in which case you shouldn't be playing on nightmare.

It's routine with time/turn limited games, with the complaints coming from people who abandon ship at the first mention of any kind of limit. If they dared to try for themselves instead of running for the hills they'd find the timers are usually quite generous.

It happened with the game Lost Eidolons. In that game every mission had a turn limit of 99, and the game would reward you for finishing missions quickly. Players who hadn't even left the tutorial were crying and whining before they'd even gotten into the game proper. It's sad.

In Dark Descent it's especially funny because it doesn't even come up until you're about half way through the game, so it's already super lenient allowing you to take as long as you want while getting to grips with everything.

At least on medium you get enough days to use 2-3 deployments per mission and still have some left over.

Just read the patchnotes. And its now an option at campaign start to disable it completely.

I had 10 days left when I beat the game.

I dont know how peeps are running out of time, first run of the game and I finished it with 16 days left! This is the best game I have played for years. PS: For all the peeps that cant time manage the latest patch lets you turn off the countdown clock.

Same I finished with 2 weeks left on normal. It's just a campaign turn limit. I would understand if the time limit was real time on missions since the way I play I end up with an avg 4 hrs per mission being sneaky and one shotting most missions.
