so... anyone has a fix to the constant froze after a kill? I think I hear a click sound (after clicking several times left mouse button) like some window oppening up but nothing shows, Does this game needs a specific resolution to work? what's supposedly happen after killing all the wolves? Maybe there lays the issue

Regarding the back/undo option, my original vision was to stray away from the need to constantly undo a dialogue choice, instead allowing players to play out their choices to the end and then rewind time to try a different approach if they want. For example, choosing the "wrong" dialogue option with Arethusa makes her run away from you. If a player had the option to immediately undo that choice and select something different, they might never know that following Arethusa and attempting to talk to her again reveals a Titan Power can be used to "catch" her, which leads to a completely different scene from the so-called "correct" dialogue choice. It does take a little getting used to when a player is accustomed the way RenPy does it, but I feel like this design fits nicely with the time travel Titan Powers theme, while also allowing players to try different things to see how they fully play out.

Also, there will be more and more situations added where a player will need a dialogue to go a certain way to achieve one goal, then will need to rewind time and have the dialogue go a different way to achieve a different goal. This just isn't possible if players are constantly concerned with selecting the dialogue choices with the "best" outcome.
The only problem with this is the current implementation of time travel is a massive reset and you have to redo everything (for that age and beyond) each time. To try another choice you're right back to slaughtering wolves in ancient greece. Something akin to Time Loop Hunter's branching timeline saves would be a godsend (pun intended) for a titan with the power to manipulate time and encourage the kind of experimentation with choices that you're going for.

On the slim chance you've not played that (or if anyone hasn't, i recommend it) it's a loop of a few days with a ton of different activities and you can't do all of them at once because they're mutually exclusive. Instead of having to restart from the beginning each time you follow a new lead/storyline the game lets you save your exact choices up to that point and come back when you've unlocked more skills/knowledge to continue. Jumping to a parallel timeline where you let a girl get hit by a car so you have an 'in' at the hospital to continue your investigations then back to one where you rescued her to followup that story without having to go through days of setup over and over again makes it a really snappy game.

The wolves are assholes and I'm getting rid of MOST of them very soon. Are you experiencing issues killing any of the other enemies?

The only problem with this is the current implementation of time travel is a massive reset and you have to redo everything (for that age and beyond) each time.
I appreciate your suggestions and will take a look at the game you mentioned. I do want to express that rewinding time is an important part of allowing players to experiment with "bad" choices, as opposed to undoing a dialogue suggestion the moment it proves to be "incorrect" to progress. It sounds like the game you mentioned is a RenPy visual novel, and Kronos Time Titan is definitely not a VN. The branching points and jumping back to those branches does sound like it works for that game, but I don't believe it would fit within the design plans I have for Kronos, which includes a number of features which haven't even been added yet.

Point well taken on the resurrecting wolves and having to deal with them. They will be drastically reduced very soon, and replaced by new enemies. Players shouldn't be forced into fighting enemies they have already killed in a previous time rewind, and in most cases they can be avoided on the map as players can move many more spaces than the enemies. Even running into an enemy does not require one to fight them. Players can simply exit the edge of the map, and once you unlock the SpeedForce power you can run off the map before an enemy can even move.

Because this is not a visual novel, and there are D&D-style strategic battle maps to fight on, it is important to allow players the opportunity to re-fight enemies after they have been killed and "resurrected" in order to either farm money, energy, and experience, or use SoulSteal on certain enemies to take back to the castle. Again, I'll check out your game suggestion, but I just don't think it's a good fit for Kronos.

Zoe door quest is still bugged for me on the latest version.
Could you tell me a little more about what's going on?

Did you install the game in a location where it will have write access? If you drop it in "C:\Program Files\", it will fail to update, and may not even be able to read any files added later. Try creating a new folder like "C:\Games\" and moving Kronos into that folder.

So much potential locked behind a bad "game" design.
Even the game design is good, it's just the way that it's implemented that is bad.
Maybe polish the UI a bit?

EDIT:
I thought to myself that maybe I should be a bit more clear on what I'm saying so here are my thoughts:
1.The UI needs polish: Currently it's overloaded and clunky.

2.Freedom should be given to the player but the player shouldn't feel lost, instead of writing a two paragraph tutorial, the dev should come up with a way to simplify the game mechanics without hurting the RPG elements of the game.

3.Reduce the grind. At this point it's comparable to Warframe!
