Unity - Completed - Timestamps: Lost Love [v2.2 Steam SE Fix] [Motkeyz]

Chapter 1 was a masterpiece. Chapter 2 STARTED out incredibly well, but the ending was one of the worst, most rushed endings of all, completely undoing two chapers worth of gameplay and character development, and for that reason alone, this game isn't worth recommending

The first 2/3rds are great with a fun time travel story and great looking women. Sex Scenes are a little boring though and it suffers from sex game protagonist syndrome (he's got the perfect dick and women naturally want to bang him the moment they lay eyes on him).

But the last act just falls apart as the time shenanigans go off the rails with too many twists and a lack of focus. It also becomes surprisingly boring when every sex scene has the same sequences animated from the same angles quite often.

Overall a decent time but also surprisingly disappointing since the dev clearly cares about the story and mechanics of his world but just couldn't wrap it up well.

Overall this is a good game.

Pros:
- It has amazing graphics
- The story is good and fun even if it ends up being all over the place in the end

Cons
- I didn't like the ending, felt too anticlimactic
- Most of the female bodies are way out of proportion, same as the MC's dick

Timestamps: Lost Love Review


Thought I Was Working For The TVA
This game drops you straight into a messy web of time travel, romance, mystery, and a whole lot of sex. This is the second and final chapter in the Timestamps series, and full honesty right up front, I did not play chapter one. Even so, I managed to get pulled into this sequel way more than I expected. It feels like one of those games that grabs you by the collar and says “trust me bro”, and most of the time, it earns that confidence.


About This Game

Storyline
The story is where Lost Love really flexes. You are bouncing around broken timelines, trying to figure out how badly things have gone off the rails and how to fix them. Someone close to you is missing, strange stuff is happening in town, and nothing is as simple as it looks. There are lots of jumps to the past to patch up the present, and while it can feel confusing at first, sticking with it makes things click.

Compared to what I know about Unconditional Love, this sequel feels tighter and more confident. The comedy lands better, the pop culture references are fun without being annoying and the character development is surprisingly strong. Nika deserves a special mention. I really did not expect to end up liking her as much as I did, especially after hearing how annoying she was in the first game. Younger Nika and MILF Nika genuinely feel like different sides of the same character, and that growth really works.

That said, the ending is…rough. After hours of building relationships and making choices, it kind of yanks the rug out from under you. It feels like being stuck in limbo, almost like the game is more interested in setting things up than giving proper closure. I was satisfied for about 98% of the journey, then the final stretch just did not sit right with me.


Gameplay Mechanics
Gameplay sticks closely to classic visual novel design. You make choices, follow branching paths, unlock scenes and slowly piece together what is really going on. There is around 15 plus hours of content here, and it shows. Decisions actually feel meaningful most of the time, especially when it comes to relationships and uncovering secrets in Cougar Valley.

Steam achievements are included and pretty reasonable. You can grab most of them just by playing naturally and experimenting with different choices. The gallery system is useful for tracking progress, though having to load a save to access it instead of using the main menu is a bit annoying.


Visuals & Audio
Visually, Lost Love is a big step up. The renders are sharp, detailed, and clearly made with a lot of care. Skin textures, sweat, piercings, jewelry, tattoos and clothing details all add to the immersion. It sounds small, but those tiny touches really make the characters feel more alive.

The variety in character appearance is also impressive. Things like different pubic hair styles instead of everyone being perfectly shaved all the time show a level of effort you do not always see in adult visual novels. It is one of those details you do not realize you appreciate until it is there.

Animations are smoother and more frequent, not just during explicit scenes but also in dialogue and cutscenes. Everything flows better, which keeps the game from feeling static. Music and sound effects help set the mood, though some sounds feel a bit too quiet at times. When it works, it definitely boosts immersion.


Pros and Cons
Pros

• Engaging sci-fi time travel story that actually makes sense if you stick with it
• Strong character development
• High quality visuals with impressive attention to detail
• Smooth animations throughout the game
• Decent length with 15 plus hours of content
• Achievements and gallery help track progress
• Humor and references break up the darker moments nicely

Cons

• The ending feels unsatisfying and somewhat sequel bait-y
• Some sound effects are too quiet or barely noticeable
• The MC’s comically oversized inhuman “anatomy” is hard to take seriously

Conclusion
This is a genuinely strong sequel that does a lot right. Even without playing the first chapter, I was hooked by the story, impressed by the visuals and surprised by how much I cared about certain characters. The journey through broken timelines, mystery and romance is fun, sexy, and often clever.

The ending definitely hurts the overall impact and I completely get why some players walked away frustrated. Still, for the vast majority of the experience, this game delivers. If you enjoy adult visual novels with real story ambition, sci-fi twists and polished presentation, this one is worth your time. Despite its flaws, I enjoyed this sequel even more than what I know of Unconditional Love.


Rating: 4.5/5
(Will pick 5 as I can not pick 4.5)

Website Review

Starts pretty good but from some point on the story doesn't make any sense anymore, is completely convoluted and then topped off by one of the most lackluster endings I've seen.

When the writing got bad I also noticed some things that didn't bother me before: The sandbox is only time wasting and doesn't make any sense since the game is just linear anyway and all it does is add some extra clicks. There are only very very few choices that actually impact anything. A bunch of stuff is forced on you.

It's sad since I really liked the first game but when looking at the full picture the only good things in this game are the great visuals, hot LIs, and a good first third.

⭐ Fun to Play
Fairly fun, mostly linear

⭐ Cool Story
Magic dick fucks everyone, and then it ends

⭐ Looks Awesome
Renders are very good though the body proportions are crazy.

⭐ Finished Game
Yup

⭐ Bonus Wow
Good for one playthrough, but nah story was weak

I'm not a big fan of characters being so detailed that they have imperfections; for me, it makes them less erotic. I don't understand why the smoke fetish is so important in this game and yet so rejected that they give you the option to disable it.

The story, like in all graphic novels, is so long that I prefer to skip it, but in this game, they committed the sin of not allowing me to skip, forcing me to click nonstop the whole time (it's really annoying).

The dialogue options are reduced to "do you want to see more scenes?" or "don't." They're not important at all; there's no point in having them. I spent two hours clicking and choosing the most obvious option the whole time, and I didn't enjoy the game at all.

I'm giving it more than one star because it's a complete graphic novel, but not more than two because I feel like I just wasted my time and didn't enjoy the experience.

Starts off well enough, mid-game it starts to feel confusing, the last ~hour or so feels rushed as hell and the ending is pretty bad. Not much gets explained, not much closure etc etc.
Straight up would make almost no sense without the Unofficial unrated patch, but that's the one thing you can't fault the developer about.

A great game with two good parts that was delayed for a long time, but I think they rushed the ending, so it wasn't as good as I expected.

If it had had a better ending, my rating would have been higher because the story is incredible.

One of the best games on the site, only issue was ending was lackluster, the animation was all time great and so was the models and story was also really good, a must play game.

Story. 9.5/10
Sex. 10/10
Characters. 10/10
Renders/animation. 10/10

If anyone is unsure whether to play it or not, I say: Play it. And don't stop there. Play the whole series.

Excellent graphics, funny story, memorable scenes.

I don't usually write reviews (my English is terrible) but for this game I'll make the effort. I don't know if I missed the complete edition of this chapter or if it only came out now, but this release was great news.

Its a fine VN with free roam elements

Many small things werent to my liking.
The models have weirdly detailed hands at time and certain wrinkles and skin shades look rather off.

The female models have varied heads and breasts but their lower bodies are all the same, kinda unnaturally thin.

The animations are short and then stitched together with renders and text. This allows for more content i guess.

Story is the "messing up" timelines structure which is also fine. "Sex Bot" did it in a more concise and funny way while "Ripples" spends the ambition better by focusing on 1 big scene.

Awesome game, it is all over the place but it is nice and interesting and rather long. I wasn't expecting that. I thought it would be short but it just keep the ride going on for a long time. The story kept me hooked. Great renders and animations. Overall I am very impressed and love the idea and concept behind the game and story. It really expanded my mind with regards to time travel and how crazy it would get.

I understand why people don’t like this game most reason due to the story (not that I’m expecting the story in any porn game to be good but I get it ) but I just stay for the sex scenes and that what I care about

Same slop that is the first game, now with 5-10s stutters in the middle of the dialogue because of bugged animation transitions, not to mention constant regular black/white screen transitions that take 3-5s each. Bruh this is almost unplayable, did anyone even bother doing the QA? I mean this time around author has tried to create some sort of drama with Veronica and came close to succeeding, but not quite. It still feels like second-rate smut fan-fiction. The only positives about this game are graphics and occasional references to actual good AVNs from other devs.

Pros:
Great renders
great writing
great sex scenes
great character writing
commendable mechanism of last choice I hope all games henceforth ahve that choices embeded
Strong character writing where each feamle see independent

Cons:
Unnecessary sandbox, that annoys more than anything
Choice means little other than changing sequence of sex scenes and doesn't have drastic impact on how plot unfolds

Personal Gripes:
the dick is unnaturally big, I mean I get the point that it is porn game and it is plot point, but frankly it doesn't like this fetishization same with abnormally large boobs, but on this front at least game remains with the bounds of reason.

I'm not a fan of NTR or it's not NTR debate, yes I know it isn't considered NTR/ sharing. I am not a fan of watching and not avoidable Li/ Future Li with another guy scenes, other than MC. Lesbian, I'm not a fan either, but still better than other guys bang Li.

Regardless just follow the guide (if don't want to share your girls with anyone else), skip over scenes with a guy on girl, enjoy the story, because it's pretty good.
As soon as I got to the second game, it's so much better, you can avoid future sex scenes involving other guys, none/ barely any dialog being stuck, sex scenes are better, and the story gets better.

Pros:
1. renders/ models are good
2. The character development is good
3. interesting story
4. Second game feels so much better than the first one in many ways

cons: (Note: mostly involves the first game only)
1. The first game was very buggy, and constant freezing/ stuck dialog wasn't a fun deal to deal with
2. The first game wasn't very good for me.
reasons:
2.1: Watching another guy/ girl with Li/ Future Li scenes! Sadly, no way to avoid it.
But as soon as you get through the first game (Recommended use walkthrough guide if not a fan of it) because in the second game you can avoid it completely after beginning. (as of latest update).
Note: only guy on girl, sadly, Lesbian scenes still happen but don't bother me much.
3. not a fan of this engine, wish it was on Ren'Py

I wasn't a fan of the first game (I almost quit because Li/ Future Li scenes with another guy isn't for me) but the story was the reason I stayed and the second game completely changed my opinion.

I enjoyed the first installment of Timestamps, the graphics are nice and the storyline is interesting. However, Lost Love game engine is not optimized and the game lags every few minutes to a point that I had to turn off the game after 1 hour of game play.

This game should have been called "Timestamp: Bang the Hag", because all the dev is care about is, banging the haglike creature.
I've always hated those realistic cult who think milf must look crazy old hag or it's unreal. This game is for them and all the good ratings are from them.
Anyway back to the game, the mother character looks old hag but somehow have a body of goddess with perky big tits, yeah really real. I dare the realist to make the face not only like a hag but also the tits saggy. Because many women may look much younger at their early 40s but almost none of them would have naturally good looking boobs. So, do it perfectly.
No again getting away from the game, actually this hag loving nature is directly connected to the plot as the dev decided that the MC cannot have any young girl, then how can he get his sister!!!!! She is young, so what you do!!!! Send MC in the future to bang his old hag sister, simple as that.
_ Another main issue is keeping borderline NTR content in the game. I'm not just talking about father and mother having sex. It about other stuff beside that.
Well dev gets one star for creating amazong bodies. I don't know whether he did it on his own or just borrowed it from somewhere because some of the faces he created looks like zombies, like the sister at her old age.
Another issue is very bad color science. Given the time the novel started it was acceptable. But now it's totally unacceptable for this second season and definitely looks like the dev didn't improve from his Patreon post about the new game. Unless the story is awesome that new game is going to crash.
...
Anyway, any further explanation would just be a waste of time. Gave this review just hoping that the dev might read this and have some epiphany. Because the body of the models are amazing and the screenplay quality is not bad either.

lot of good content, despite there being a lot of content, it isn't repetitive. This was impressive as the dialogue between the characters was fantastic, I found myself reading all of the dialogue rather than skimming most of it.


The main crux of the story is actually done very well and makes for a very unique and intriguing game
