VN - Ren'Py - My Time with You [Book 3 Ch.26] [EoloStudios]

Finished the current release (Chapter 8 True Story Patch) and I really enjoyed this game. There isn't a character I dislike, especially the heroines, they're all very precious and another potential legendary bromance in the indie eroge community. I think everyone is well written and their connections to each other feel real, they bounce off each other with banter, humor that you'd expect from adult friend groups, and many cute moments. The story definitely has me immersed and it seems like theres much more to tell. The chapters feel a little short compared to other games maybe around 25-45 minutes each but thats not to say anything is rushed. They do a proper job of telling the story and relaying events to the player. So far the H-scenes I feel are well done too, there aren't many, theres more scenes that feature nudity without sexual intercourse but I was honestly more engrossed in the story so the H-scenes felt more like a bonus, this is by no means a nukige, its a story driven eroge. My only complaint is that some events, mostly insignificant ones happen offscreen, so when you see the characters referencing them, it takes a little bit to understand and be like "oh what that happened? okay cool." An example would be early on a date is postponed but there isnt a scene for that so it just transitions to the next day where characters are talking about how theyre bummed about the date being postponed barely glossing over the reason why. It doesn't happen often but there are times that you feel lost for a minute playing because the characters will talk about something that happened earlier that day offscreen that made me rewind just to make sure I didnt miss anything but understood better after just advancing the story. And this is not talking about flashbacks/memories. Those are done well and helped me understand the relationships better. The later chapters so far haven't really had this issue so maybe its been addressed, but I completely understand if the reason for these events not being shown is due to not feeling the need to render images and write out some dialogue for a scene or feeling that the player is smart enough to piece things together as I dont think they truly take away from the experience. It's just something that I noticed that I haven't encountered before and I wanted to put that in this review. Overall My Time with You has a lot of charm and I'm really looking forward to playing the rest of this story. The game is also FREE for everyone, and I hope to support the developers as soon as I'm able; they seem super solid, transparent and truly enjoy making the game. Thank you!

Updated review for Ch. 25

Even before this updated review I had the game as five stars and it still remains one of my favorites, but I almost feel I undersold just how good My Time with You really is. As the overview states: "sit tight for a roller coaster of sappy romantic slice-of-life crap that will have you grinning from ear-to-ear, might also make you cry.," and that couldn't be more true.

It's a harem game among harem games. There is no other side plot, grand storyline, mystery to solve, etc etc. This game is about the MC, friends, and the girls. With the Koikatsu renders especially, I think this game will look very unassuming to anyone who just happens to take a glance at it. But should you care about writing, believe me when I say this game is one of the best written AVNs I have come across in the years I've been on this site.

I really don't want to spoil it so I'm going to leave out a lot of details about the narrative this follows, but the aspect that makes this whole game in the first place is the incredibly endearing cast of characters that the devs have managed to create. Seriously every single relevant character is exactly that: relevant. They all play into the story, even if only minor parts in some cases. Some of the best "bro" characters in the genre, all the love interests are wonderful, and man to put it in simple words they just have so much life to them. More than you would see in a large majority of other lewd games. And while the story is very much about all of the characters as a group, there still is so many interesting twists, turns, drama, and those sappy moments that got me to a point of really not wanting to put this game down. Few games really make me crack a smile like this has.

The Koikatsu style may put you off and the animations aren't the cream of the crop, but those things feel so minor when everything else is just so good. If you like vanilla slice-of-life harem games, this really is one of the best I've played. I said before I became a confident fan of the devs, and that has not changed. Arguably a must play if the game sounds like something you'd enjoy.

Loved it. I'll be honest, sometime story gets confusing but that's not much of a problem, transition is little jerky a while from one timeline to another but you'll get idea of what's and when after few seconds. Direction is good, humorous dialogues, Sci fi harem theme, with pretty likeable characters and a good friend. Animations are good but the focus gets too much distant during some of the sex scenes like having a camera recording from one of the corner of house also hope that transparent textbox will be introduced in near future.

This game is simply just beautiful (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
Story is unique beautiful romantic love story 10/10,
I'm amazed how the developer manages to play around with so many love stories, and keep it romantic and make them work together.
This is one of the first game i have ever played with this art style and i was vary of playing this game first but I'm so glad i did. So if any one reading is in doubt because of different art style than some other games, play it you will love it (hopefully).
Charcters are beautiful both in writing and renders.
Renders are good and animations are with time are getting really really great.
100% recommend this game for other to play, in my opinion one of the best romantic game here. And the game has humor too which is also great.

Good luck to the dev EoloStudios for the future development of their game. Keep it up, proud of yaa. ;-)

I look forward to playing each new chapter as it's released.

The story is interesting. Details are released over time, pacing feels fluid. Lewd scenes hit decently quickly but are not overloaded.

Characters feel distinct and have a ton of personality.

Character models are attractive and have a range of different body types.

Looking forward to following the game as it progresses!

Gotta admit I was a little bit skeptical about this game since it's Koikatsu-based, and I don't have a good history with them, even though I like Koikatsu itself and have a collection of cards of my own... Ahem. Yet this game got me hooked right at the beginning.
A future wife traveling back in time to build a harem for the MC is kinda surreal, but it's one of the best setups for a harem I've seen so far. It's not the only thing that caught my eye, though. The characters are loveable and look nice (Dice is charming in his own way xd), the dialogues make the characters seem alive, some moments made me smile and laugh a few times.
Overall it's a wholesome story, and I'm glad really I've stumbled upon this game. Keep up the good work!

One of the more interesting premises I've seen on this site, supported by charming, genuinely funny dialogue, interesting characters, and fantastic presentation. Absolutely deserves more attention, which is why I felt I had to write my first review on this site.

As far as lewd scenes go, there's a fair few, full of solid HS animations and many really well-done stills. I found all of the scenes to be properly emotional and hot, none of the scenes were just "porn game so heres sex", or like some games where it's all build up, and then just Position 1, Position 2, Cum Animation- it all feels really natural and well paced. All the scenes are pretty vanilla, but with enough passion and attention to it to feel sufficiently steamy.

But this is definitely a story first game. Despite the slightly NTR-y premise, this is a super duper ultra cute, mostly kinetic VN that can flip between heart-meltingly sweet, to actually hilarious, to uncomfortably, realistically depressing with ease. I was surprised by how emotional some of the scenes were, I have to tip my hat to the developer for creating . This is a game all about people dealing with feelings for people they shouldn't or wish they didn't, and it handles it all very well. And points for a refreshingly assertive, yet non-rapey MC.

The only issues I noticed were some slightly jarring transitions, and the fact that, your choices don't really seem to matter so far. It's mostly just flavor text that changes the next few lines (which is fine, you play a game like this to interact with the characters), but there are some choices to avoid sex scenes, or even to avoid some character development scenes, but later the game will reference them as happening anyway.

Not a huge deal so far, but worth noting. Even despite that, there's enough flavor choices that I mostly felt as though I was PLAYING a VN, and not just reading one. Natural-feeling writing as well, I didn't notice any serious typos or anything. The use of random japanese terms is a littttle cringe but there's gonna be a patch for that because the dev is super cool.

This is a great game that I hope will get more recognition because it deserves it. The animations are good and the render quality is also good.

In terms of writing, the storyline I find to be interesting and I want to know more. The English itself is great with only very few typos being in a release which the devs listen to feedback about and fix. There is a lot of humor in the writing and while it's dumb humor, it's also fun, which makes it an enjoyable experience. Definitely one to try out and keep an eye on if you enjoy harem, vanilla, fluff, and humor.

Definitely the best I've played, although it's still progressing, this is the best one I've downloaded on my phone, hoping for chapter 7, and also... CNA you add a gallery? That would make my life so happy :> thx again!

As of Ch 6

Interesting game with amazing characters and nice humor where i laughed a lot with unique well written story which is different from what we normally play in this forum .

And it's a " HAREM " game which is a bonus for me , till now I think there are about 6 Love Interest and all of them have quality personalities and I love them all and being harem i don't have to worry about choosing 1 LI .

The only thing I dislike ( very mild ) about this game is usage of family relations in Japanese ( not all people know Japanese ) like Oni san , Otto san , Oka san where I have to google to find their family relations . I love the story so much I don't mind too much about it , but some players may dislike it . I hope dev will add option / patch to change family name to English like Aunt , Brother and even if he doesn't I'm fine with it .

Kudos dev to the wonderful game so 5 STARS for me , Added to watchlist will wait until next update .

Comedic VN with some multiple choice and a harem game in the making

Pros:
It's hilarious, you'll laugh a lot playing this
Really good story
Funny characters
Nice soundtrack and also has female sounds
H scenes are animated and have female sounds

Cons:
Very short game for now
H content is still very limited
English needs a lil bit of proofreading
Art is not the best, but it's not a big deal

Really recommend the game and look forward to the full release. Won't give it 5 stars because content is still quite limited.

the game is a great blend of goofiness, fun, love and all good you can throw into it
and it gives a nice cutesy vibe VN that has you smiling throughout your playthrough
the characters feel great with unique personality and all of them are lovable

the only concern for me is that the length of the chapters are a bit short so sometimes it feels wise to play the game every 2 or 3 updates
other than that no negatives for me

great job devs!

It was a really nice surprise with big potential

PRO
good storyline (original)
interesting characters
you get hooked into the plot
the evolution of the relations seems logical (quite an achievement tbh)

CON
too few animation for now (v0.05)
wish the chapter was longer (200-400 images per ch. is an ok number but the plot need to move a little faster)

I think we'll see all this concerns of mine resolvend in the next new releases
I enjoy it, Keep up the good work guys

Having played update 0.5, I can confidently say that I am a fan of this story.

- cute and romantic plot.

- awesome characters with well-written dialogue.
I like absolutely all the characters, but I will probably highlight Sayumi (the MC's wife). Beautiful, smart, funny. My personal prototype of the ideal waifu)

I also love the dialogue between the characters and the great humour.
One of those games where I absolutely don't skip the text.

- good drawing.
Nothing fancy, but the character designs are great.
Flushed Yukine, angry Akemi, "guilty" Sayumi, humble Kanehana..
In these moments, they look especially cute.

- sex scene
The new version features the first sex scene in the game.
And it very cute. That's all there is to say.
For me, this is in second place. On the first - the plot and characters.

The only drawback is the ear-cutting "roommate", "caretaker of your roommate," and so on.
Hopefully, someone will create an appropriate patch.

All in all, this is a great game. And if you are interested in a lite, cute and romantic story, I can safely recommend it to you.
