Lmao this game is based on Dark about as much as Breaking Bad is based on Scarface
As i said, inspired. There are several points taken from the TV serie starting by the time rift out of an incident at a nuclear plant, to the accidental time travel that mess with someone's early family (ok, this one is also Back to Future), the mysterious scarfaced guy from the future that moves the strings from behind, the elderly weird lady that seems to know a lot and who says nothing and so on.
Then of course it's also a mostly light hearted porn game about banging girls in 2 different time periods.
And, by the way, i don't know if it's openly stated but it sure widely agreed that this game took inspiration from Dark.

It's openly stated.
I actually had the idea for this before I watched Dark. I wanted to created something like this every since my Japanese VN days playing Steins Gate and Muv-Luv. I didn't even know English VNs were a thing back then, but yes, I absolutely love Dark and I think it's the best show or movie about time travel ever. So some ideas did come from that show, but I will never be able to come close to writing something as crazy as that. Thanks for playing the game!
I absolutely love Dark!
Best time travel fiction ever IMO. But Ripples is different, but Dark did inspire some ideas for Ripples, as well as other time travel shows/movies/games.
I was inspired by all the great sci-fi and time travel media, and yes, Dark was one of them. You will catch references to them as the story goes on. (If you know them). I'm glad you enjoyed the game so far. Thanks for playing!
