hm it seems very promising...
Its very good so far
Visuals are great and the soundtrack quite good.
The story seems interesting and quite good with heavy dose of mystery and intrigue and underworld elements
(i hope MC can fight if this is the case... and not cower in fear)
MC seems good so far and the Lis are all beautiful and unique.
I personally loved Rosie so she is gonna be my main Li ... (if nothing changes) and Amanda and Agnes probably gonna have different runs.
I dont really mind that it doesnt have Harem it seems more realistic this way and if the romance and the story is good its actually preferable for me to have solo paths.
I have bookmarked and im gonna keep my eye on it for next chapters
ps : I saw Virgin Tag and i hope its for Rosie... from what i have see so far in the VN she is the type to be a virgin and i hope im right.
ps2: if im not wrong MC was adopted so he is the stepbrother of Rosie or their parents married in the past so they are siblings by marriage ?

I'm glad that you like it!
Also, your prediction I'd say, is close enough... I don't wanna spoil the game

So, I gave it a try after seeing an Amanda picture on Reddit.
Good visuals, both lighting and models (except Robert's model). Decent writing. Hot girls. I do think it was a bit short, so I still have a ton of questions, but the MC and Rosie are sympathetic, so I'll keep track of the whole thing.
Btw - great job with... the MC's body. More often than not, when designing a muscular character, devs just add muscles onto an average body type, or go all-in and make him look like a professional bodybuilder. Your MC has broad shoulders, like an athlete would, but his muscles aren't overdone. Good job.
I'm now trying to figure out all the connections.
1) Rosie. She's the easiest - the MC's stepsister. Her dad was abusive to the MC, who then left. So far, so good.
2) Agnes. The MC's friend from when he was away, who he eventually hooked up with. When he decided to leave and go help Rosie, Agnes got salty because she'd started catching feelings. Robert's sister?
3) Yola. A criminal, so, automatically, my least favourite option. Also, the GF of the local criminal kingpin who searches for someone who might be the MC. Also, she possibly dates Amanda on the side? All in all, avoid at all costs.
4) Amanda. Angela's tenant or servant. Dates Yola? Shares a tragic past with the MC. Possibly his ex or someone he unwillingly hurt a lot in some other way.
5) Angela. The local MILF philantropist. An aunt or a family friend; the latter is more probable as Amanda would know Angela's nephews otherwise. Probably gonna be my canon pick, as I agree with this:

Moreover, if the MC really has trouble with the mob, he could use someone with money on his side, as fists can only take you so far against guns and corrupt cops. To this end, he should get as close with Angela as possible

Hey guys!!
Soo first dev-log in 2025. For the last few days, It's been a full prep for the next chapters, kitbashing, and testing things out to be more organized. It suuuuper tough working around big assets with my current PC setup.
Angela's huuuge mansion
squeezing my brain juice for this >,<
And I'm pretty satisfied with the result. What do you guys think? Quiet nice isn't it??
That's it for today... I don't to bore you all with my yapping
Hope you guys have a good weekend!
much love <3

Hey guys!
So... For the past few days, I had to admit that it's been really slow for me. Actually got my blood pressure high up trying to balance between working IRL and working as a Dev. Thankfully they have the medicine for that, so I can worry a bit less about having a stroke at my young age
Also, after I got a lot of criticism and input for chapter one, I'm trying my best to not make the same mistakes. Learning from other senior Devs and Artists to make Past Tense more stand out, and less "flat" and "generic". The more I dig the more I realize how small I am and there are still a shit tons of things I didn't know about being a developer.
Anyway, I'm really grateful that you all sticking with me for the development of Past Tense. Your positive comments and reviews always make my day! (Yes, I read every single one of them). Also, if there's anything you guys want to ask, feel free to do so. I'll try my best to answer them, as long as it's not a spoiler
Alright, that's enough yap from me. Hope you guys have an amazing week! and stay healthy y'all!
Much love <3

Well yeah, you're a new dev and you don't know all the tricks in the business but I think this is above average for a 1st effort.
Going on you will learn how to cut corners and so on.

Just played this first chapter and I enjoyed it. I like that there are just little scenes that hint at something with only a few renders and sometimes no dialogue. It's good not to have been fed all the information, I'm happy having some intrigue now and findout out more later.
My main question so far: Can anyone tell me where the MC's eyelashes are?!

It's okay, I don't think it's possible to worry more than Amanda does on that picture

Damn, this was good, even if it was short. Absolutely attractive girls and a very interesting and intriguing prologue. Rosie is such a cute pie. I don't quite understand their family tree, but perhaps it was left vague on purpose.
Definitely going to keep an eye on this game, looking forward to the next chapter.

Not a bad start. I don't know if the dev is a native English speaker or not, but there were some lines that seemed a bit off, or had odd phrasing.
Some other issues:
Some other issues:
- I really hope Rosie gets a new hair cut at some point. She's very pretty, but her current hair is really working against her.
- A few times the MC looked very yellow/orange. Not like a Simpsons character or anything, but enough that it was jarring.
- Agnes is very pretty, it's a shame the dev had some sort of spasm when he was on the boob slider.

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
But yeah, I'm not a native speaker... I'll try my best to improve my English and to improve the final proofreading process.
Mc got some problems with the assets. I have already fixed it for the next chapter. Also about Agnes... I am aware of her bad body proportions, and currently working to fix it.

I'll try to run through chapter 1 again later and send some suggestions for lines that feel odd.
