History[]
NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams[]
The time chips only appear during sections where the player controls either William Taylor or Helen Cartwright. It is a floating clock that can be found throughout the levels and sometimes, inside red Treasure Chests. When a Time Chip is collected, it will rewind time, delaying the arrival of the Awakers. Some Time Chips rewind 1/4 of the time and others reset the timer to zero.
