But in this game, past or present, all of this is the mc's "now", so it doesn't bother me at all. It really just boils down to whose pants do you want to get into. :sneaky:

I agree that getting in the girl's pants is exciting, but the thing I felt about this update is that now we have clearly established that the past cannot affect the future, it seems like all this time spent in the past means nothing.

We already know that Darci's mum is rescued successfully since we see her alive in the future. We already know that Jenny still dies at the Nuclear Power Plant, so any amount of effort to prevent that is wasted.

We run around collecting information and building relationships, but we don't get to see their effect in the future because a) we haven't returned back to the present yet, and b) nothing in the present changes. The only interesting thing that happened in this episode, it seems, is that we realise ShitNinja is Darci, but that feels impactless because I can't see any revelation that comes from it.

So now it is the hair... :HideThePain:

She is very much intended to be the tomboy of the game so if that isn't for you then there are like 19 other women in the game. :Kappa:

Finally made me way through my recent stockpile to this latest update... my god, one thing that i can never get over in this game is the sheer quality of the sex animations, fuck, the whole scenes, each and every one raises the bar, they're about as real as animated sex can get in the current era...

This is one of the best games out there. The story has me interested even without the 10/10 sex scenes. And I think Darci is great...

Unpopular opinion though, I thought it was a weak update. I prefer the current day/2019 girls over the 1999 ones which probably didn't get me to a great start. I'd been hoping for a Valerie scene for a while, but I wanted it to be with the milf and not her younger self. Other scenes were nice, but I didn't think the story really went anywhere other than what we knew already. It was just sort of catching up with everyone.

Still confident that future updates will be better, but .7 was a let down imo

my theory is that there will be a reveal that there is a way to change the past, paradox free, and the MC just needs to figure it out. or the accident that killed his dad didnt kill him and instead put him into a random time in the far future or past

Oh man I finished this update and damn! I already thought this game is one of the best VN's out there but it gets better with each update.

The possibilities are endless with a lovely story, solid characters, amazing graphics and the progression (SECS Progression) being just right. There may be inconsistencies but hell, unless anyone points them out for me I didn't see any so far. Every character has a reason for why they wanna bang and don't wanna bang the MC and that is always a plus in a story driven game.

All of this could simply be ignored in a VN (especially an adult oriented VN) but it's lovely to see the characters being human and act like people would normally act... to a degree obviously. This is after all a VN about romance, mystery and adventure where you may be able to build a harem and fight a powerful entity (the government maybe) to achieve your happy ever after.

And then there is the time travel, mystery aspect which is a big +
I do hope it won't get convoluted and I really hope this won't be a bitter sweet story where you end up trapped in a time loop after you helped those you love but seeing how the story is progressing atm I don't see any reason to worry.
The story is progressing slowly and the MC doesn't become a genius with all the answers instead he learns from his mistakes (COUGH using 2019 money in 1999 COUGH...... I mean I'd make the same mistake so it's another + for realism) and adapts to the new situations he's in.

And I love all the theories around with my favorites being:
