Anyone know how to play this on Mac? Im on Catalina and the previous game runs fine but this game for some reason wont even open with the option to authenticate it.
Open Terminal.app and type:
chmod -R a+x '[drag and drop game folder]' (hit enter)

Note: After you drag and dropped the game folder into Terminal.app make sure in front and end of the path apostrophes are added (').
Sounds like you need Permission Fixer.
No, he doesn't. :p

Because you did it wrong. Between "-R" and "a" same as between "x" and the game path needs to be spaces. Like this:

You left out "chmod".

Or just use Permission Fixer and don't worry about that pesky Terminal :p

So first off, I do really enjoy this game and all the different options of women you have. But, my only problem is with Nika. Now let me clarify, my problem with her whole deal is that she keeps making the decision about going back or not be based on her relationship, sexual or otherwise, with her brother. She keeps saying things like if I don't go back I lose him, but if I go back he will know how I feel about him and I will be the girl too scared to tell him true feelings again. I realize this is a porn game, but with this whole Nika business, it feels like the developer is trying to make her deeper than just a porn game character. So, in this regard, her whole thing about leaving behind the life she has built in the past, while it may seem valid, is actually pretty selfish. The reason I say this is because she is not thinking about the effect of her being missing will have on not just her brother, but the rest of her family as well as everyone else in her life that cared about her in her normal timeline. In her normal timeline, as time goes on they will more than likely presume her dead without knowing what happened to her. They will undoubtedly have a funeral and bury an empty casket, and John and Julianna will go through the rest of their lives wondering what happened to her, and still holding out hope that she will walk through the door one day without it ever happening. This is something that neither her nor the MC ever really bring up or discuss (the MC mentions something to Bacon, but it really needed to be brought to light while he was talking to Nika), but I guess that is the flaws in their characters. However, it doesn't make it any less frustrating. I think if she had it relayed to her in this manner, then she would realize that her life in the past needs to be left behind and forgotten and she needs to return to her normal timeline to live out her life there. Also, I just don't buy all her reasons for staying in the past. She obviously has several mental issues by being thrust out of her timeline away from everything and everyone she knows and loves, why the hell wouldn't she want to leave all this shittiness behind to be back with her friends and family, and also not be as broken of a person in the long run? That to me does not make sense. I normally don't get all crazy like this with a porn game, but Nika's whole story just struck a nerve with me. Regardless of this, I am very intrigued by the story with Bacon and OMJ and the doppelganger and all that stuff. Also, the models and sex scenes are extremely hot. So yeah, overall I really enjoy the game, just the Nika stuff and her whole reasoning why she wants to stay is very short-sighted and selfish.

Without going into details about Nika, let me ask you: Would the current you agree to leave everything behind what you build up until now, and let yourself get erased? Which is the same as being killed? :unsure:

It is an ethical question. There is no right or wrong, but you are right about her being selfish. She chose her adult version over her younger version without looking at the consequences for others.

I think its supposed to be either or, either 'and use spaces' or its use\ spaces\ like \this and not use the ' before and after.

so either


'/Users/maxrobinson/Downloads/Timestamps Lost Love R2 PE.app'

or

/Users/maxrobinson/Downloads/Timestamps\ Lost\ Love\ R2\ PE.app

No! First, he didn't followed the instructions correctly. Second, the apostrophes are needed for the direct path to the game's folder.

Weird question, but can anyone send/post a screenshot from any scene where i can see Bacon's many monitors? I want to build a desk like his, so im curious how his setup is... I tried playing the game, but no, cannot locate that whatsoever. Thanks in advance!

I really like this game, but... i am sorry to ask, but how come there aren't -any- at least a LITTLE bit happier girls in the entire game? Why are all the girls looking so...destructive and sad when looking at them? No cheerful/positive girls in this game at all, or? Hmm...

Let me ask you the same question: Why does Guts always look so sad?

Oook, let's not go overboard here, heh. I am not asking -all- the ladies to be positive.. I get why the main characters aren't feeling to happy-go-lucky/joyful, but all of them is a bit...too much. THAT said, though, its story, content, characters and interactions, not to mention the amazing animation, is more than enough to absolutely enjoy this game! I just wish the MC wouldn't be that...annoying and dumb, and that there'd be one with a positive attitude/smirky/partially happy girl in there somewhere. Doesn't even need to be a main character. :)

With the current life I have, I would not give it up. However, I am in the timeline I am supposed to be in. I am with my family, my mother, father and brother. My cousins, aunts, grandparents, etc. All of my friends, and the people who care about me are here. If I were somehow thrust back into the past, and after so long have the opportunity to go back to this life, I would not hesitate to do so. Because I don't see any life living without my friends and family one worth living. Also, honestly, her past life sounds miserable. She is obviously severely affected by being ripped away from everything she knows and loves. Yes, she is able to see her family, but she can't tell them who she really is. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't take the job at the college just to be close to her parents. But once again, she is older than them, so she has to treat them like the kids they are in this timeline. I mean talk about a constant mindfuck. And her conversation about her seeing her Grandmother, and not being able to go over and hug her and tell her that she loves her. I mean that sounds like torture, which is why I don't buy her reasons for staying. Because who would willingly want to live like that? I know I wouldn't. Like I said, this part of the story struck a chord with me, and honestly maybe because we are talking about it like this shows the level of quality writing this game has. But, I just absolutely see no way with me agreeing with her decision to stay in the past. She says she has everything she wants, but I call bullshit. She is just deluding herself, because of her brother being there, and now that he is gone again, she has to struggle with him leaving and not knowing if it will be another twenty years before she sees him? Nope, that sounds truly and utterly miserable.

Well you may have notice that Chapter 2 is named "Lost Love"... not everything is meant to be happy or joyful. ;) This is all I can say currently.

You are a good observer and I like that the fact that you took your time to read through the dialogues. (y)

We humans are not perfect and sometimes we make decision based on our emotions and sometimes we just want to prove a point to someone. Even if we know that our choice wasn't the best available one.

They're not. Either escape the spaces, or put it in single or double quotes. Dragging from Finder escapes the spaces, which is all you need.

Catalina requires apostrophes.
EDIT
Can you show me examples, because I don't understand what you mean.

On Linux drag and drop into Terminal adds apostrophes. The last few Mac users I helped (MacOS Catalina) didn't add the apostrophes after they dragged the game folder into Terminal.

EDIT2: Got it.
