That sounds a lot like the actual game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. You have a fixed time limit in which to save the world, and if you don't, you have to go back in time and watch most of your progress become undone.

Yeah, right! I'm playing through this right now, and all the important things get saved when you play the Song of Time. But the most important part is that there's no penalty to wasting time: you could spend all 3 days looking for one heart piece, and whether you did or didn't find it, you'd be no worse off after playing the Song of Time again.
