Thank you for your service!
Honestly, IUMTTPTCM should probably get .5 star off the lewd name alone. It caught my eye and made me chuckle. Going back in time to Cuckold yourself is weird, but that's what I like about the idea. Weird is a big part of this game and suspending disbelief is very necessary here.
The story is what's supposed to make it work - and for the overall premise it did at first. An experimental vaccine gives people certain abilities and MC has the power to visit alternative timelines. Pretty hot idea so far. The story also rounds out with a meta-plot, which I really appreciate. But 95% of the time, you're in a game loop of options within a house and a few potential love interests. That's nothing bad, but this story could have been developed far, far more creatively. You also don't influence the meta-story, which in the end doesn't amount to anything. A few extra slides would have done so much more justice to the grind.
Gameplay is your standard 'figure out what option works for what character' and you advance. The dev does give you a multitude of lewd and sexual scenes throughout the days you're in the house and in the ending days, I even found them repeating? I like the addition of the gambling and buying items, while it's wacky story-wise it does add a little extra spice to the game. Since you can't rollback, you roll with your punches or you save a lot.
Graphics. I enjoyed the 2D isometric perspective and sometimes, the 3D sexual animations worked for me. I would probably have loved to see a little more detailed 3D stills myself, but for the cartoonish style this game goes for it works. The dev would do well to hide the 2D house when the 3D sex is happening - there's a style clash that doesn't help the sex scenes.
Writing. Most of it is medium, but some of it is pretty cringe. Some of that cringe is on purpose and then it's funny, but other times it's cringe because the dev is trying too assert dominance too hard. Sayura is a pretty standard 'curious wife', Ayumi is the 'young one with bratty behaviour'. Kotomi seems a bit of a hit-and-miss, but definitely clears up towards the end of the game. I'd do a full Kotomi run to see what happens - but since the dev responded here I don't think anything noteworthy will change.
I ended up liking IUMTTPTCM for it's potential and quirky extras. A potential that is never realized because as the developer has said, the game just needed to release. With extra time and care, this game could have been more memorisable and have the meta-story pay off. Now, I see no real reason why you should travel back in time to cuckold yourself if you don't have a special kink for it. This game was meant to be played one way and the other options just aren't as satisfying.
3/5
