So is there only one ending for that Chira girl? Given her model type, I thought she was going to end up as a love interest.
Only saw scenes of her

Eventually, we are going to have to say goodbye to most/all of the women as the Interim fades and the baggage holding them here is resolved so that they can move on.

I think the final chapters will be especially hard depending on what happens to the different women once they are freed of their baggage.

There is some great story telling that can move the ending in a number of directions, and I have no way to predict an outcome other than the pending battle with Ifuma and hoping that the MC's allies don't suffer too many casualties taking him down.

All right, update number 2. A lot packed into this release, both in the main story and many of the side stories. While many of the previous chapters have slowly moved the needle as you build relationships with the other characters and slowly peel back the Interim's mysteries, this update is laser focused on the latest drama to befall Michael and his small circle of Archon and Entede allies. Of course, some of the side stories have some big moments as well. I think if you've been paying attention, you'll see them coming.

This update's Combination Scene is a field trip with Kaitlin and Saaya to the art museum. Not too much in the way of hanky-panky as its technically a public location, but it's a nice getaway with the two of them that gives you a sense of the way they act around each other. This scene is gated behind Saaya's most recent story, so be sure to keep up with her.

In terms of other things going on with The Interim Domain, we do have a rough test code for the endgame "endless play-through" section that we're using to test new content without having the main story coded in. Basically, you'll have a series of days where the MC steps out of the house, picks his next choice, rinse/repeat, with moments to see the Other Scenes and Combination Scenes added into the loop.

So, for those worried about not getting to see everything, we are working on it, but it won't be implemented live until we hit the end of the game.

Thanks for the support,

Honestly am pleasantly surprised with how big and good updates are. All the relationships and girls' characters are written and shown better and better with each patch. Also like the story more and it's development. (y)

The Interim Domain 0.15.0 update 3 and release schedule






All right, folks. The release for The Interim Domain 0.15.0 is right around the corner. For fans of Roe and Sammy, both are getting big moments, and Tina's got herself a 2-day event.
In other news, the AC unit in my place died last week in the middle of a wonderful heatwave here in the American South. Fortunately, I was mostly done with renders and onto the testing/copy editing/build generation portion of the development cycle. I know this is a first world problem, but man do I need to get that fixed before I get back into the swing of things. Unless I want my PC to catch fire. :)
Here's the release schedule for 0.15.0 (all scheduled for 11:59 am EDT release):
Tier 3 - July 13, 2023
Tier 2 -
July 15, 2023
Tier 1 -

Now and Then is one of my all time favorite VNs. I've been trying to wait to play The Interim Domain until it was done. Do we have any idea how much more planned content there is for The Interim Domain before it can be considered "complete?"

Interim Domain is also darker than Now and Then. Now and Then people were trying to survive, but here people have already lost. I think it's more positive than it looks at first, but a lot of people have a bad first impression and give up on it right away.
I feel like the bad first impressions don't really come from the game being darker than "Now and Then" and more from the worldbuilding, plot and writing being very frustrating, illogical and confusing. It is objectively such a huge step down when compared to "Now and Then". At least those were the most frequent complaints I have seen.

To be fair, even half the quality of "Now and Then" would still result in an above average game, but I can understand the criticisms. Coming here and expecting something even remotely on the level of "Now and Then" and ending up with this is bound to be very disappointing. But the rating starting to reflect that with the 3.8 vs. 4.6 should at least somewhat help people to adjust their expectations.

That said, it is still worth playing in my opinion, despite all this I had a good time. Just don't go in expecting something outstanding. And there is always the possibility that ILS will go back and improve on the problems I mentioned above.

The most common complaint I see is that most of the women are ghosts so there's no point and no future in the relationships. That's what I meant by darker.
The second big complaint is that people don't like the game design where it's not easy to see all the side stories. That problem will eventually be solved when the game is finished.

But under the surface it's really pretty much the same story as N&T. The world as we know it is over, and the MC (with a few women) is trying to adapt to a new and alien and more dangerous world. And the eventual goal is to create a new world to live in. It's really just a different coat of paint on N&T.

I think most people give up long before they see development with Apollyon or Mira, or that even the ghosts change over time. And it's totally fine to give up on it, but there's a better game here than most people stick around to see.

As for objectively the worldbuilding, plot, and writing being frustrating, illogical, and confusing, that doesn't seem very objective. It's a game about beyond the end of world, with a competition to collect enough energy to make the next world, and a mystery about how this cycle was started early. It doesn't seem that illogical or confusing. Do you have a specific example in mind?

But yeah, most people don't like it. I think it's just as good as N&T but it's definitely far more niche, even though it has a lot of similarities to N&T.

I really hope this game ends quickly so developer move into another game. 'Now and Then' is one of the best adult games I've ever played but this one is the opposite. It's one of the worst for me. Also again not fan of Dead mc interacting with dead girls and then send them away. In my opinion there is literally zero point to play this game. We are dead and we are sending girls away. What's the point? lol. I think this developer is really really talented and wasting his time with this thing. If I do reviews, I would give it 1-2 stars at most. Anyways gl with the game

Given the setting of the game (being the afterlife and all that) I was under the impression that at the end of the game, if MC creates a new world he was going able to choose a partner in the new world. So far it seem that's not the route ILS is taking with the story, and I can understand why people is disappointed with the way the game is going, especially when you compare it with Now & Then (it was great)

I mean for me the biggest issue is the separate branches for each character, with them not really interacting with each other at all. There is no real fluidity of the story which is what made Now and Then so great. It just feels like a bunch of short stories within the same fucked up universe.
