There is no suggestion in the game that the destination date can be changed in any manner. The wormhole appears to be fixed at 20 years (or so) with no way to modify it.

There is, Skylar message, if she was in 1909 like the message suggest then it is possible.

Why hasn't she told her sister she isn't dead?

To avoid changing the timeline, you know the usual stuff in time travel stories.

In the tv show that inspired this game, the timeline get messed up quite a lot and at a certain point, i don't remember how, but via a static temporal breach, some characters go as back as the 19th century.

Based on is a big statement. It's lously inspired. Like, for instance, the Magnificent Seven is inspired by the Seven Samurai.
The TV show is a mostly obscure but rather good german TV show called Dark. It's one of the series i've enjoyed the most in the recent past.

Lmao this game is based on Dark about as much as Breaking Bad is based on Scarface

As i said, inspired. There are several points taken from the TV serie starting by the time rift out of an incident at a nuclear plant, to the accidental time travel that mess with someone's early family (ok, this one is also Back to Future), the mysterious scarfaced guy from the future that moves the strings from behind, the elderly weird lady that seems to know a lot and who says nothing and so on.
Then of course it's also a mostly light hearted porn game about banging girls in 2 different time periods.
And, by the way, i don't know if it's openly stated but it sure widely agreed that this game took inspiration from Dark.

It's openly stated.

I actually had the idea for this before I watched Dark. I wanted to created something like this every since my Japanese VN days playing Steins Gate and Muv-Luv. I didn't even know English VNs were a thing back then, but yes, I absolutely love Dark and I think it's the best show or movie about time travel ever. So some ideas did come from that show, but I will never be able to come close to writing something as crazy as that. Thanks for playing the game!

Best time travel fiction ever IMO. But Ripples is different, but Dark did inspire some ideas for Ripples, as well as other time travel shows/movies/games.

I was inspired by all the great sci-fi and time travel media, and yes, Dark was one of them. You will catch references to them as the story goes on. (If you know them). I'm glad you enjoyed the game so far. Thanks for playing!
