I would say that TP:TCND was the first iteration, dev then reworked the flow of the story and events along with better renders and enhanced models etc and made EX, but also added the awful sandbox. Overall plot is the same but its quite different otherwise in its execution. After enough hate and complaint, and possibly self reflection, dev made EX2 (this thread) that continues the updated reworked story of EX with its visual improvements, but now without the sandbox punishment.

On the itchio page EX2 is called the continuation of EX, which is the remake of TP. Playing TP before getting to EX2 wont make sense since there are a lot of differences despite the same general overall plot. You kind of have to play EX and suffer through the sandbox mind fuck before getting into EX2.

My question is though, is TP now considered its own game and separate from EX/EX2. I ask because of the 3 games, TP has received several updates since December 2022, with the last one being earlier this month, while EX and EX2 were last updated in December 2022. One would think that TP should be abandoned since the dev is clearly moving on the updated versions of EX and EX2.

But who the heck knows. Im not in contact with the dev. Someone will have to ask him on subscribestar or itchio. Hes not on patreon I think.

create your own "gallery" (label search) how to --> Link

how to use : Link

open mod with alt+m
click the little open folder icon right upper
load a .urm file

i recommend always to play the game one time without cheats to understand gamemechanics

mod should work with future updates

this mod does not modify any game files

!use at own risk! - dont complain to dev´s /modder about broken saves/gamestates
(look for a updated 0x52_urm.rpa file every month or 2 at link above or use in-mod updater, thanks to 0x52
if you like the URM Mod consider support 0x52 -->

my 5 cents: all are their own games with same or not characters.

If anyone is confused how this relates to the other games, whether you have to play the earlier games to understand this, etc.

So played the complete game (Ex) 0.12.1
Tbh I didn't mind the sandbox that many ppl apparently left this game over. Cause it isn't really a sandbox game.
This is a kinetic novel with fake choices masquerading as a sandbox game. Let me elaborate:
'masquerading as sandbox':

That was my thoughts throughout the game, but things became messy at the 2nd last event of the game - the gamenight where 3 girls (daria, emily, marjory) visit to spend the night:

2. Buy a drink from the store, then forget about the inventory. Keep playing by Waking up -> going to class -> going downtown (to adv time) -> going home to bed. Or play however you like.
3. Play untill the ep9 event - the gamenight where daria, emily & marjory come over to play games with tiffany. Don't play the event; close & delete the game (saves are not needed for Ex2)
4. Download Ex2 from f95 or

& continue playing the ep9 gamenight event.

Anyway I don't mind the story structure or the sandbox, though the dev still seems to be in the process of figuring themselves out & using the death reaper to start over too much. They should've fixed the last 2 events in Ex1 itself & added an end scene linking to Ex2.

PS:
Ofc this raises the question why not automate this simple routine instead of making it a (fake) sandbox, but I guess sandbox was the devs dream & the other locations might eventually have some events in Ex2. Not complaining tho, non complicated sandbox like this is the best sandbox.

Seems dev realised it & ended up automating the process for Ex2 after all. So no more fake sandbox to artificially increase the play time (y)

So am I understanding this correctly, the vast majority of content in this game happens in dream sequences, which means it doesn't actually progress your relationship with any character or build the plot in any way, and besides the dream sequences there are like two larger scenes with a tiny bit of content and a few looping events where nothing happens?? That's it?
