Fun game so far, but missed opportunity with the two girls in the apartment. ;) Oh and looking up the suicide girls skirt after all she's been through, what a douche. :p

Nice renders but the UI could use some work specially the 'sandbox' areas.

*adds to watchlist. *

Except at this point there is no point to the money system.
Well if it ever becomes a thing, I'll be super rich. ;)

What sort of mind control is in this? Is there any? A thread search showed people talking about how there didn't seem to be any in the first release, but has that changed? Does the dev intend for it to change, or is the game mis-tagged?

Hi,

As of chapter 2 there is no mind control at present. Chapter 3 will contain some elements of mind control though I'm not ready to spill the beans too much on that just yet :)

I have posted a public poll regarding the future release schedule of This time over on my patreon (link below). If you could spare 60 seconds I would really appreciate community input on the release schedule.

Hi,
Going forwards there will be no need to create a new save in new versions. I have future proofed my code this time :)

Tried the game.. first impression wasn't that great. Kept playing and enjoyed it more as I went along. Decent all around.. Renders and story. Can't say it's top tier but can say that it beats many many of the games I see here. Giving it a chance and looking forward to how it progresses and improves as time goes on. Not gonna make the DEV rich but I do say where he can pull in some patreons as he goes further and deeper. Nice cliffhanger ending..

I've tweaked the cache in the next release (available in about 2 weeks) which will help on computers with low RAM.
The images are all 4k unlike most VNs which are 1080p so the image files are 4x the size. If there's not enough RAM to fit this on it will fail over to the page file which sits on your HDD and if you don't have an SSD then it will probably lag.

It lags even with an SSD, I have 16G Thermaltake DDR4, with 2 1TB Samsung Evo 860 SSD and it was constantly using up almost all 18gigs of my swap file.

If you are able to unren the game then edit line line 43 of script.rpy.
It currently says:
define config.image_cache_size =50
Change it to define config.image_cache_size = 8 and see if that helps?

This will be set automatically in the next version but may help you in the mean time.
If it helps let me know :)
