Others - Pervert Action: Timelapse [v0.67] [BBBen]

BBBen, the developer of this game, is a seasoned veteran in the world of adult gaming, known for his contributions dating back to the early days of "Adrift." His expertise and experience shine through in certain aspects of this game, creating a nostalgic "old-school porn-game" atmosphere that some players may find appealing. The writing is solid, the models are simple yet alluring in a non-mainstream way, and the few sexual scenes included have the potential to be highly arousing. However, these scenes are spaced far apart, making the pacing feel slow and requiring a considerable investment of time and patience.

The game’s reliance on player exploration and trial-and-error gameplay can be seen as a double-edged sword. On one hand, it rewards discovery and encourages multiple playthroughs to fully experience its content. On the other hand, the lack of clear guidance or step-by-step progression can feel tedious, particularly for players seeking a more streamlined experience. Additionally, the slow release of new content might leave players waiting longer than anticipated, which could diminish overall engagement.

One of the biggest frustrations lies in the game’s "Groundhog Day" style narrative structure, which necessitates replaying the same events to uncover new content. This static storytelling approach means that the more engaging or rewarding moments rarely occur during the first playthrough. Instead, players find themselves skipping or re-reading previously seen content, which can detract from immersion and excitement. The lack of randomized events or dialogue compounds this issue, making the replay experience feel repetitive and, in my view, fundamentally flawed for a game of this genre.

While the game has its strengths and could cater to a specific audience that appreciates its retro vibe and exploratory mechanics, these design choices ultimately hinder its broader appeal. For me, the repetitive nature of the narrative and the slow pacing overshadowed the positives, leaving an experience that, while occasionally promising, failed to fully deliver.

Yeah this game is ultra hot. The NTR scenarios especially, but you can avoid those and still have a good time. I was offput at first by the art style and design, but it grew on me quickly. Eni has got to be my favorite girlfriend on this site.

The overall story is also interesting and at some point I was actually scared shitless. I only really liked 2-3 girls, wasn't a fan of the creepy stalker girl, so it's a bit unfortunate you cannot kick a girl out, but it made sense why it was this way due to the story.

The only real negative is the loading screens, some of them can get a bit long and annoying, but nothing that hinders the experience too much.

This is by far the best "Sand-box" point-click style game I have played. There aren't many pointless rooms and traveling between them, like in many Ren'py games where you have to: Go take a shower, go get dressed, go get something from the kitchen, click through the kitchen, living room then the hall until you get to an entrance and can finally leave. This is not the case here luckily and I have to praise the game for it, no unnecessary shit.

Lieterally the best s*it out here. I'm massive NTR fan but i guess you'd enjoy even more if you're not considering it's avodable. Plus i highly recommend it if you're a NTR fan, it perfecly fits the cuck ideals. One run is not even close to be enough.

I've now played the 0.55 version and I'm not as excited as I first thought.

The game mechanics are very sluggish, long loading times, once you start playing there is no way to start a new game without closing the game completely. There is no roll back, if you made a wrong decision you have to keep playing. I find some important decisions bad and players unfriendly because you have to start again from the cache. I think the sex scenes are well done, and the interactions and texts that go with them are good, some via cell phone, some live. It wouldn't be bad to have a hint system to at least know where to find crucial unlock requirements of certain or new scenes, or where to look. In view of the long loading times, this would be a real help in order not to lose interest in this game. I also don't know how to unlock the new scenes "Find the third" Hmm yeah and...
My review:
Model: 5/5
Game play: 1/5
Story line: 3/5
Graphics: 3/5
Scenes: 4/5


I give 3 stars overall

Actually a good game, but hardly playable due to the bad game mechanics

This review is for the last version I played: 0.45

Visuals: 4/5 - The visuals are a unique style to this dev. They are not your typical cookie-cutter Daz Gen8 models. While it is more cartoony-looking, it works well. The female models are quite sexy.

Writing/Story: 4/5 - The writing is well done and I don't recall really seeing any typos or grammatical errors. I find the story interesting, even though it's your typical "Groundhog Day" style game. I want to know what happened with MC and what the fuck that eyeball hand monster thingy is.

Sex Scenes: 3/5 - Very sexy scenarios, but mostly static images with lack of variety (most of the game is one or two static images per scene with a mountain of text/dialogue explaining instead of showing). Nonetheless, the scenarios are usually really hot.

Playability: 1/5 - Scenes are very slow loading. The engine used is clunky, so even getting through text is not fun. The dev spends a lot of time explaining situations where they would be better shown. As mentioned before, often a scene will use one or just a few images and thne a mountain of text. Then there is the whole having to replay the game over and over again for a chance of unlocking a new scene. This is what gets me the most. I still don't know how to unlock some of the new content and having to replay over and over and over again for a small chance of doing something just right to see new content is a bitch. The dev seems more interested in encrypting his image files and controlling how people can play the game than making the game play fun.

With that, I give this a 3/5. I used to get excited for the updates to this game. Now when I see it's updated, I immediately think what a chore it would be to try and get the new content. I cannot recommend this to people who just want to enjoy a good story and hot scenarios without a lot of effort.

The whole thing looks dated and clumsily made.

Graphics are poor, and on top of that way too few images per dialog. I mean, there wasn't much effort put into them in the first place, and then the dev cheaps out on them on top of that? I want to see the story, not being told what I would have seen had the dev bothered illustrating this... thing.

Hard pass.

Really good and unique game. You can see the dev put a lot of thought into it. There are some interesting twists in the story and the game overall handles in a quite unique way.

I am a fan of NTR and this game provides that with a good optional route. The way NTR is done is interesting and enticing and the game can even surprise you when you thought there was already no content left. For those who do not like this content, it is all completely optional and the game asks you multiple times.

Something a lot of reviews of games on this site overlook is the developer himself. A good game can be marred by shoddy work morale, infrequent updaes, shady communication etc.

BBBen gets a 5/5 from me for communication and work schedule, where an update arrives monthly on the clock. If you like the game, consider supporting him on Patreon.

I struggled to decide whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. There are some things I really like about this game but the technical limitations hamper it from being truly excellent.

The pros:

* Artwork is very nice, women are beautiful
* Very well written. I'm not usually big on visual novels but this one kept my attention
* Liked the game design with a limited number of days to build your stats and develop relationships. It encourages multiple playthroughs and made me not want to put it down.

Unfortunately, the multiple playthrough design backfires due to the long load times for scene changes. This makes replaying the game and trying different choices very tedious. If the load times could be reduced, it would be much more enticing to go back and try to find all the endings.

This is an unusual game/VN, and on different fronts. The first one is the 3D art, that I've seen only in previous projects of the same dev. I felt it was somewhat weird at the beginning, but it has grown on me, TBH, and now I really like it. At least it is pretty different from the usual roast of Daz3D and HS based 3D art we find here, which tends to make all games similar (from a character POV, of course).
There are other unusual choices, such as the UI, with text on a vertical box across the left of the screen. And, then, the big one: the game is to be replayed several times, as much as the ones necessary to achieve the different endings (don't worry, for each time, it is possible to avoid repeating the same scenes already played).
The core of the game is, again, the harem trope, but one that is very well implemented: the MC must remember how, during a period of one month that he spent on the hospital, he went from timid guy with no girlfriend to a guy with several women on his harem.
Although incomplete, the game already has many hours of play and includes some things that are (unfortunately) rarities but contribute for a well-rounded experience: many spoken dialogs for the girls (that have pretty sexy voices!) , good ambiente music and sound effects.
I'm looking forward to find out how this one ends. Hope the dev can lead this game up until completion.

Excellent game that has a lot of great content especially if you’re into corruption and male dom.
The basic premise is something you've probably seen before you appear to die, and wake up a month later and need to put your life back together. The twist is that it appears in that missing month you built a harem of 3 hot women, who unfortunately for you were unaware of each other and are now pissed
The gameplay consists of managing 3 main stats by taking the girls on dates and unlocking your memories with them. There is a 20 day timer but if you get far enough you unlock sex in the present and an ending with the girl in question. The game then ends and you start over with improved stats and new scenes/characters
It's a throwback to older VNs where multiple playthroughs were a feature, not a chore and it works well. The ui and engine unfortunately is also a bit of a throwback, but it's serviceable and simple enough that it doesn't hinder gameplay.
The visuals are a combination of still images and some animations with the more recent updates having more and more polished animations. the major scenes are interactive with the ability to click on portions of the scene to get additional dialogue and pics. The models are stylized but attractive.
The real selling point is the writing, characterization which is very well done. The sex scenes are also well written and very sexy even scenes that only have a few images.
The game also has a nice variety of kinks though with an emphasis on corruption and male domination. There are also NTR/sharing options which can be completely turned off for a straight harem experience.
overall highly recommend for people who don't mind playing a throwback point and click game and people who like corruption and male dom

PA: Timelapse is a good game which turned out as a bad experience (for me).

Note that my rating and review reflect my own experience and personal taste. Refer to your own judgement to decide if you'll enjoy the game or not.
Also, I admit that I gave up halfway into my second playthrough.

What you can expect:
- Great writing and original story with an uncommon build-up.
- Interesting characters which beckons you to learn more about them (and more if affinity).
- Nice sexy models. Simple and non-mainstream.
- BBBen (the author) is a long-time smut-game veteran dev from the old days with adrift.
- The sex scenes are potentialy very hot, but few in-between.
- There's a bit of grind, and you're not guided step-by-step to the good stuff. This is a game where you should have to invest into discovery and trial-and-error.
- It is expected that you do multiple playthroughs.
- New content is coming out slowly.
- Old-school porn-game feeling.

What ticked me off (rant incoming):

- I don't really appreciate replaying games with a static story (ie "Groundhog Day" style). The good stuff never happens on the first time, and when you redo it, you're not in the moment anymore. Because you're skipping or re-reading previous text to discover the new content. If there are no randomized events/dialogues, this kind of gameplay is flawed to me (in porn games).

- I didn't feel involved in the sex scenes at all. And sadly, this was furthermore intensified by the great writing, as it made it hard to distance yourself from the story's setup which pulled you into the MC's shoes.

All in all, there are some great sexy bits into this game, and I was sad that I could not enjoy it.

The story and idea of this game is good. Its kind of interesting. I am not a native English speaker, but I think the storylines are good written.
Models are good. The resolution of the game is a little low.
Voice acting is really good, but I think there should be other priorities.
The UI is terrible and need a rework.
The Loading Screens are annoying and take same time even on my PC (Ryzen 5800X, 32GB RAM, 1080Ti, SSD).
There are some bugs. Game crashes sometimes. Also one time the savegame wasn't loadable anymore. I played 0.29.1

Overall the game is enjoyable. It has a lot of potential, but isn't there yet.

EDIT: changing the 3 stars to 4 bc it's voice acted. I usually play on mute so didn't notice that till just now.

The story is a lineup of porno game staples:
>>nonlinear narrative premissed on amnesia, because the writer/s are under the impression they can fit a porno plot into that extremely fragile and difficult-even-for-professionals style
>>gfs who hate you for bullshit contrived reasons but also love you (for yet other, or even the same, bullshit contrived reasons)
>>mysterious circumstances and/or persons you're supposed to find intriguing but don't because they do not seem to affect the story significantly or at all (other than to remind you there is a mystery subplot you should care about)

Still, it did sort of hold my interest because of the detailed descriptions of the fictional SE Asian city where the PC lives. You get a concrete sense of place and time, as well as your station in the world, and that's rare in porno games (usually the PC is "an ordinary guy" living in "a city").

Furthermore, if you ignore the bullshit reasons for why the females hate you their behaviour is somewhat realistic. Basically you hooked up with them then turned into an atrociously abusive boyfriend then forgot about that specific part of your life (but nothing else apparently), and finally ended up as a typical porno vn protag without a personality beyond superficial user inputs that are little more than an elaborate query about kink preferences.

Why these women seem to still want to be with you despite all that, for no other reason than "we dated for one month", is more of a mystery. Actually no, it's just bad writing. They're barely his girlfriends but they're behaving like middle-aged battered housewives... come on now.

Note to the writer - either they enjoyed the abuse and don't hate him, or they hated it and want nothing to do with him anymore, or the abuse didn't happen or at least wasn't as serious as it is shown to have been. You can only pick one of those if you want to end up with a coherent story.

On to the gfx and h-scenes. All the female models' faces are reminiscent of early 2010s 3d games and movies eg Frozen & Bioshock infinite. It is unique but the mediocre graphics quality and generic undifferentiated bodies are a hard limit on potential fapworthiness. Still I did enjoy a few of the h-scenes, featuring the supermodel and landlady (it actually is a landlady, tho she predictably acts like the other kind of "landlady" as in doing housework and generally taking care of our beloved protag).

The engine/gameplay design is subpar. The most notable issues I found are constant freezes, unnecessarily slow transitions and "load screens" that don't seem to load anything and are apparently only there to make you wait between scenes. Overall though, it isn't as bad as what you'd expect from an f95 game tagged "Others".

3/5 because the story didn't annoy me too much and the h-scenes are sufficient for the dl size and length. Putting this at the bottom of my "nice" list of porno games to revisit next year.

Outstanding writing, intriguing story, great cast with varying personalities, hot renders, really sexy voice acting. Underrated game that doesn't get half the credit it should because its not on Renpy.

Probably one of the first games in which dialogues are interesting to read, not to skip. A cliched, but generally good plot, it's even interesting to watch all this mystical stuff. And even if I didn't really like Shizu, the rest of the render is just great! Also NTR fans - ur welcome

Among the cons so far, I can note the lack of a full-fledged gallery of memories. While you replay the game 2-3 time, you just forget what scenes you saw for the first run.

I am waiting for further updates, this game has returned my hope for good content. So far, 4.5/5

I really like the unique models. t's rare that you find a 3D game with a different artstyle. Furthermore, I'm generally not a fan of voiced games, but I actually think the voice work for this game is well done. I definitely appreciate the effort either way though. The premise is kind of interesting as well, or at least an interesting spin on a common trope. Well done dev!

Hot damn! HOW has this game stayed under my radar for so long? I'm not easily impressed but holy hell, this is an absolute masterpiece!

It may be a matter of preference, but for me this game had everything:

• Great renders and gorgeous models
• A very good and original story, combining mystery with porn
• Voiced!
• Fantastic animations (at least partially)
• Tons of content, which provides various playthroughs with different outcomes
• Amazing sex scenes with plenty of dirty talk, domination and (avoidable) ntr/sharing, among various other fetishes and kinks. Honestly, the first sex scene with Shizu may be the hottest thing I've ever seen in a porn game!

I can't think of a single negative aspect here. In the other reviews I read that some people had problems with the loading time, but that wasn't an issue for me, so maybe that was fixed with the latest update.

BBBen just got himself a new supporter... wow! If you haven't played the game yet I would strongly recommend anyone to at least give it a try.

Long load times are killer. Instability creates frustration. Little things like lack of version listings and lack of scene replay takes away from the great visuals and story line. Very good voice over. Obviously putting a lot of time in to this but details are a big deal too.

Interesting game. It's a bit shabby but the plot on the story is interesting enough.
The minus is the assets and some of the lazy aspects on the game design, user interface and backgrounds.
The characters deserved better than those irritating disnefied faces. The game has a certain appealing grimness in it, which is immediately undermined by those characters that seemed to be taken from The Incredibles. The developer should look for new assets less cartoonish.
There's an unforgivable use of Times New Roman for the text.
There's an effort to have more things to be clicked, but nicer to have things to do than things to read.

Version 0.18

Wow... okay... let's get to the scores first

• Story (7/10) Everyone's familiar with living with 3 girls and advance story to fuck each of them formula by now. This story approach this similar concept, but completely changes the formula, which I appreciate. But currently, there's only 4-5 events with each character, and in the end I wish there was more memories and more afterward.
• Character (10/10) Came for the school girl, stayed for the rest + the school girl. Great interesting characters, love it. I actually did not like Emi at all from the start, but by the end I truly welcomes her to the harem.
• Render (9/10) The girls are wonderful. School girl on subway pic got me to download the game, and rest of the renders were mostly on par with that. Fantastic job! Especially loved the models here being so different from most other games. I couldn't give 10 because gigantic tits... little too massive for my fantasy.
• Animation (12/10) I cannot think of a game right now that have better animation that this game. Fucking amazing. Especially toward the end, OMG, you guys are in for a treat.
• Sex & Kinks (10/10) 80% hard Hard male domination, and loved every second of it. Dialogues during sex was hot, pictures are hot, variety of kinks. Especially recommend people into male domination, humiliation, control. If you are at all interested in those, you owe yourself to give this a try.
• Gameplay (3/10) Goddammit! If this game didn't start with the perfectly rendered subway scene, I probably would have stopped in 5 minutes. I played this game for 4-5 hours, and I felt like 2 hours of that was "Now Loading" "Now Loading" "Now Loading" between every thing you do. I believe my version the developer warned us there are bugs, and would often crash/stuck, which just means I'm welcomed by another 5 minutes of "Now Loading". This coupled with the grind it self, I was this close to stop playing. But I'm glad I stuck it to the end and if BBBen can optimize the loading, I'm gonna have to start thinking with game I'm taking out of my top 3.

Pervert Action Timelapse is at same time one of my favorites and one I've had most frustrations. So why am I giving it a 5 star? Because the renders, animation, sex, dialogue are some of the best I've ever seen, and I want to encourage the dev to keep fixing the engine and bugs, and hopefully add a ton more content.

This game deserves more attention that it's got right now. 6 reviews and just 32 pages of dicussion so far? Criminal.

P.S. I want to award 1 more star for the hottest school girl uniform I've ever seen in a game.
Wow.....
