Unity - Completed - Timestamps: Unconditional Love [v1.1 Steam SE] [Motkeyz]

Not bad story, very nice sex scenes (woud like more story though) and other bad thing is: the way to repeat scenes could be very better, but the game is not bad, give it a try guys! you won't regret it

I have intentionally held back on writing this very short review, simply because I had to find out if I could find any flaws/negative things in the game. But I'm happy to say that Timestamps comes close to being a perfect game.

The story really draws you in as it progresses, with lots of twists and turns.

Renders are top quality, animations some of the best out there (although they seem to be best in the beginning).

All the female characters are drop dead gorgeous.... no wonder MC takes all he can get.

This Timestamp series easily ranks up there in the top 5 of games.

A clear 5 stars in my book

Holy shrub where do I even begin with this game. I remember at the beginning I told myself I wasn't going to rate this highly. I mainly said that due to the many frustrating feelings I was getting about where the creator wanted to go with this game.

But, holy heck the story of this game is better then the sex and how it keeps you on the edge of wanting to know what happens next. Of course the animations are amazing too though.

I would say though I don't get why the game focused so much on the mom. I didn't like her very much personally and tried to skip through most of her scenes.

Ok, the rating is harsh, but the downsides to the game warrant it.

Visually, it's a stunning game. It definitely stands out from the competitors so in that regard its worth playing. The engine is pretty nifty too although I had a use usability issues when tabbing out and back into the game but they're pretty standard for unity games.

This game falls over because quite simply I struggle to work out what tone the developer is trying to set. It's an absolute mess. It is kinda cool and casual one minute then switches over to serious sci-fi and it struggles to be coherent at times as a result.

It feels very much like the developer has plans (as is obvious given there's a sequel) however this means there are things mentioned in this game and then just ignored in a sort of "meh I'm bored of this I'll fix the plot hole later" kind of manner.

The focus is very much on the mother character which makes sense but the whole setup for any form of relationship seems a bit... peculiar. Very much suffers from "porno game" plot armour. The developer wants a thing to happen, the players are expecting a thing to happen so let's just make it happen and worry about it later. There are other women in the game but in comparison they barely get a sniff which is a shame cause most of them are actually interesting. There are even some characters introduced in the last act of the game which again is lazy writing as they are simply in there to set up the next game. The plot is left with gaps as it seems during writing the author must have realised they were doing a sequel so could worry about the issues with it then

Pros-
It's a damn pretty game
The engine is good
The interactions are actually enjoyable to read

Cons-
The game's can't decide what what tone it wants to set and jumps between the two.
There's too much focus on one character in the grand scheme of things
Random plot points are introduced then ignored, leading the story to be a bit of a mess.

Incredible visuals. Many nice animations. Not a fan of the story but interesting if you take the time to read it... But definitely lots of fapping material! Go for it, it's one of the best games out there imo.

Very good game, perfect in all aspects.

Unfortunately, although there are many female characters in it, the sex scenes are too biased towards the mother.
The MC had sex with his mother in the last one, and the next one was again, it was really annoying.
And I really can't see how charming the role of mom is?

There is another scene that makes no sense.
MC went to take a shower after having sex with two women, and suddenly he started masturbating himself again.
You just finished fucking two women, do you still need to masturbate? Are you a winner or a loser? It makes no sense.

I am not a fan of MILF. Although this game is well done, I don't have much fun.

Excellent Game, mind blowing game enjoyed it a lot, love the goofiness, had lots of laughs, for this installment, I hope this is the start of an Epic Taboo Trilogy, it is like a "Back to the Future" for Adults, maybe a bit of "Dark" from Netflix. "Hopefully you also take some ideas of paradoxes and correction of timelines situations.
I also hope that you break many taboos in this first part, let's see more relatives (wink, wink some secrets sisters Maureen or other taboos,
more action with sisters please, please dudes). Once again I am very excited about this new Game, Excellent work.
PS: Again please make Maureen a sister " Love this character a lot dudes; Bring a sisters squad!!! "

VERSION: 1.0 PE P1

Timestamps: Unconditional Love aspires to broach new frontiers in the visual novel market with a time-travel narrative dabbling in general paradoxes and an overshadowing government conspiracy; as with most of its contemporaries, Timestamps employs its narrative primarily as an excuse for erotica. The extent to which players will derive any satisfaction from such is due largely to the extent its flaws, which are almost unilaterally subjective, impact their ability to enjoy the wealth of lewd material on display.

Graphically, Timestamps compares well with most in the genre, employing fairly standard Poser models and interspersing erotic sequences with some animation. Veterans of the medium are likely to recognize certain models from other games, a fact Timestamps itself tacitly mentions, although the stylings of several are unique and fairly memorable. While some assets are clearly of subpar quality, particularly the hair and motor vehicles, the game manages to maintain a consistent aesthetic.

Animations, however, are a mixed bag. While players may rejoice in the knowledge that the erotic scenes include some degree of animation, and the designer even implemented cinematic sequences during purely narrative-driven scenes, they are not without flaw: often the animations play in ludicrously slow motion, courtesy either of a low frame rate or engine constraints, even the most arduously passionate actors bucking about with the enthusiasm of a sloth. This lackluster movement often inspires more mockery than merriment as, for instance, a nude woman shouts "Fuck me harder!" only to be met with a protagonist penetrating her at a tempo that would barely register as suitable for a church hymn. Even so, the animations are diverse, feature some decent framing and are often intercut with static images (of superior render quality to the animation) that flesh out the developer's intent.

Somewhat unfortunately, the developer appears to harbor an affection for the "ahegao" craze of Japanese pornography, the exaggerrated expression of supposed ecstasy experienced during an orgasm. While this reviewer will concede that it can be quite effective in still images at conveying enjoyment, notably when drawn on women, here the artist opted to employ it on the male characters where the effect is not only questionable but often outright off putting: there is no pleasure to be derived from observing the protagonist, nor his slightly rotund friend, going cross-eyed as their faces contort at a woman's touch. Even so, as the majority of the game is spent viewing beautiful women in seductive poses there's no genuine cause for complaint.

The same cannot be said of the storyline. Considering its length, at a solid two hours minimum, typographical and grammatical errors are infrequent; unfortunately, that itself highlights the moments in which they routinely appear.
What is otherwise a competently written script, if not particularly sophisticated, is bogged down by these minor oversights that could have been easily amended with a modicum of editorial oversight. Beyond such quibbles, Timestamps routinely neglects to consider its own continuity as events unfold. Take, for instance, either of the following...



These issues cannot be brushed aside with the "time-travel" excuse either, if only as time-travel is so rarely employed. While interesting as a premise, sadly it is relegated entirely to that role and does not directly impact the gameplay. There are no mechanics utilizing such, no choice-and-consequence trees dependent on player interaction via the past or future, no puzzles to solve, nor any semblance of agency in how or when the time-travel occurs. It is, by all accounts, a narrative hook alone.

In closing, I would like to address one particular aspect I found eminently disagreeable: the repeated breaking of the fourth wall.

Used sparingly, as in certain theatrical productions, breaking the fourth wall can allow for levity or ease tension in an otherwise perilous situation. Comedically, as in the cinematic classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the fourth wall breaks allow the audience to garner some insight as to a character's motivations. Frequently, and most often internally, as with Deadpool comics, the fourth wall is shattered in order to illustrate the character's fragile mental state. Here, Timestamps muddles its way between each of these aspects without committing to any in particular. The result is a fractured mess, where at one moment the "Narrator" may interject a random remark that lightly mocks the trope at play, while in another they contribute to it outright. Periodically comments are made regarding familiar models, scenarios and all manner of homages to time-travel related media in other fields; the lack of subtlety on display is jarring.

Worst of all, however, are the moments in which the developer outright acknowledges that you, the player, are engaged in a game; a puerile, pointless and worthless endeavor where dozens of buxom babes throw themselves at the protagonist just because he has a large cock. That, in so many words, is reiterated on several occasions, with characters bemoaning the "luck" of the protagonist and said individual himself noting that it's because "we're in a game." It is after the hospital sequence, however, that Timestamps rushes headlong into the wall, seemingly determined to dash it to pieces or perish in the process. Having already alluded to other, real-world games via the protagonist's computer, now an entire scene plays out in which a major character converses with a woman who wants to join the cast...


This callous disregard for the player's sense of immersion and general escapist mentality of the medium is grating, to say the least, and disrespectful at best. With any luck, the author will abandon such blatant commentary in the future or, at the least, relegate it to purely optional content.


GRAPHICS ----------------------------------------------------- 8 / 10
+ Relatively diverse cast with some variety among the potential love interests.
+ Beautiful models, albeit with varying levels of attention to detail; certain assets are of distinctly lower quality than others.
+ Veritable glut of erotic content, primarily static images with some animated sequences.
- Animations are often stiff and slow, playing at speeds that seem inappropriate to their context.
- Artist's choice to exagerrate expressions during certain erotic scenes leads to bizarre and unattractive facial contortions.
DIALOGUE ----------------------------------------------------- 6 / 10
+ Passable characterization, some genuine banter and clear, if flawed, motivations.
+ Few overt grammatical or typographical errors, formatted for easy reading.
- Grammatical and typographical errors increase in frequency as the game progresses.
- Deliberate fourth-wall breaking moments are obnoxious, decimating any sense of immersion or investment in the narrative.
GAMEPLAY ---------------------------------------------------- 7 / 10
+ Strong presentation and world ensure the player remains firmly aware of their goal. Choices are presented clearly and most consequences can be ascertained logically; no instances of player-ambushing.
+ Competently integrated GUI and quality-of-life options, including a task tracker with hints and quick navigation pane.
- Animations cannot be sped up, nor are they segmented to allow for quickly snapping between various points.
- Most player-choice scenarios merely postpone an otherwise linear progression, rather than branching to unique events.
INNOVATION ------------------------------------------------- 7 / 10
+ Overarching narrative features an uncommon hook which, while somewhat disjointed and largely unexplained to the player, manifests sufficiently throughout to engender intrigue.
+ Customization of splash/start screen is a unique and welcome addition.
+ Unity engine employment is stable, free of the typical memory leaks associated with similar projects.
- Continuity breaks are commonplace and "time-travel" cannot be used to adequately dismiss them all.
- Uses models from other successful visual novels, while simultaneously (and jarringly) calling attention to this fact.

SCORE ====================== 28 / 40
WORTH PLAYING AT LEAST ONCE... AT LEAST ONCE... AT LEAST...
Timestamps, which began as an unabridged visual novel but has since split into a quasi-episodic structure due to its financial success, introduces the player to an ensemble of gorgeous women in "Cougar Valley" with this release: Unconditional Love. An indisputably strong start for a fledgling series, yet by no means without flaw nor likely to arouse universal acclaim due to certain artistic choices throughout. Players interested in time-travel, and capable of dismissing the trope-heavy relationship scenarios including such classics as the "spectacularly well-endowed" protagonist and nymphomaniac landlady/mother, are likely to enjoy what's offered. Is this the genuine start of a series worth following? Only time will tell.


CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUE: Implement the time-travel as an in-game mechanic, either to solve puzzles, resolve an impasse in dialogue or merely explore otherwise unreachable areas, thereby elevating it above a mere narrative structure. Hire an editor, or seek out a volunteer, to perform a quick spelling and grammar check of your script prior to release. Consider allowing the player to alter the playback speed on animations and include more frames to increase their fluidity. Limit the amount of blatant fourth wall breaks that occur; the initial few with the Narrator were a cute touch, everything thereafter took it too far with outright meta-commentary.

Well done and very erotic. The Threesome was AMAZING (if it took awhile to get there), and I really wanted more.

There were some fetishes outside my purview (Cucking John), but that's not why I'm taking off a star.

I wish there was a non-smoking option. The models are gorgeous with some good ink, but every time I saw that cigarette I had flashes of kissing ash-trays.

I'm taking off a star for the lack of control-ability for the animations. You can't skip to the next segment of the same animation. It operates like an 8-track. There's also minor grammar/spelling errors. Plus, unnecessary exposition. Like describing the picture or transition. Show, don't tell. We know what a transition is, just by watching.

The story never fully utilizes the time-travel element. We get "glitches" and flashbacks, but 2 horny teenagers would have been using that like a porn game. I'm not sure about this, but I think there's also some continuity errors, because characters are mentioned, (like the ORIGINAL tattoo artist that went away??) and we never really meet these people.

I understand there is a sequel, and I will be playing it.

Really great game
in some parts of the game i didnt understand what are they talking about like man in a hoodie i didnt see him or i dont remember him but im sure i didnt see him
and one time in the hospital or something there was this robo girl i dont remeber the name but i didnt understand nothing the were talking about it didnt make any sense
(im sorry for my english if you didnt understand something)

I am a little upset that I cant give the game five stars after playing through the first episode.
The models are great, as is the overall rendering quality. All the models stay within the realm of the possible, even if unlikely perfect. The protagonists dick borders ridiculous though.
The protagonist himself behaves reasonable and while a little voyeuristic and nymphomanic, he isnt a rapey sociopath who doesnt give a fuck about breaking laws and social norms like oh so many others in his shoes.
The side characters are all likeable (antagonists excluded) and decently developed for a porn game, even the male friend and the father.
The dialogue writing is pretty decent.
And lastly, it is one of the few games that dont use renpy but still feel very well coded and polished. Lots of comfort features like scene replay and hints, which is really great.

So, why not five stars, you ask? (Or not, I will list the reasons anyway)

The fetishes are bland. There is smoking as a big one, then a mild foot and boob fetish. Old women all around, but balanced with young ones. Incest of course, but thats the only reason for playing porngames anyway (everything else is available in just regular porn).

The story is abitious, but thats the best thing I can say about it. Timetravel is dicey and confusing at the best of times, and here its not even well implemented in the gameplay. It makes some things mysterious, but there must be better ways to achieve that.

The animations are praised by lots of people here, but I find them poor and immersion breaking. You get great renders, and then in between the models start to make wooden movements and tits flop around the place for no reason. Better use a couple more perspectives and let the players' brains fill in the gap. The renders make the models feel alive, the animations make them super uncanny.


After playing it, I feel a little like I wasted my time. I'm neither particularly excited sexually, nor interested in the story. I will go on and check out the second chapter, but chapter one is not as good as it looks.

Some of the best animation i've seen in this type of game, they're not all on the same level, some are a bit stiff or there is not enough movement, but there is so much it's a real treat.

The only thing that didn't do it for me in this game was the story and most of the character, it's serviceable to lead up to the porn but i otherwise didn't care about it.

Now some of the chara design are really great, best tattoo i've seen in these kind of games, a great variety of girls, scene and fetish and that's always a plus.

Really a good one for the porn, will look forward to the sequel, if the developper can keep improving the already insanely good animation it's gonna be amazing, recommended !

This is what I would describe as a true Virtual Novel. This is not a 'game' although it is in the style of one. The audience cannot make any decisions that will affect the outcome of the novel or even the progression in any way. This detracts from how much enjoyment I can derive from this virtual novel.

This is fine but not exactly clear when first downloading.

There's plenty of BGM and it seems well chosen, the animation and modelling is better than average and the story is interesting.

I am looking forward to other games by the dev but with how Timestamps is currently laid out, well I feel satisfied after playing through the first chapter and don't feel invested enough to continue on to further chapters.

The Dev should look at re-working the format of Chapter 1, there's a lot of potential there.

Pros:
1. Amazing animation and renders.
2. Sci-fi is a good change.
Cons:
1. I personally am not a fan of this "huge dick making all the women somehow sex slaves of the guy" thingy. I get that this is a porn game but still I've played a hell lot of games and honestly most of them had at least some love building up.
2. Also, I don't get the dev's obsession with Julie smoking. I haven't seen many smoking fetish games on this website so probably the dev wanted to try something new but I feel that we should have been given a choice.
3. I like completely shaved pussies and well, there were none in this game. Most of the other games have a mixture of hairy and shaved but that wasn't the case here.
4. The story seemed linear and choices didn't seem to matter that much. You can't skip a girl you don't like.

All this aside, I feel that the future games by the dev would be even better. Good luck to the dev!

Damn this was good.

The characters are fleshed out and interesting. They have their own motivations, desires and range in intelligence. I had a soft spot for Juli and was teased to oblivion but that was an excellent way to heighten desire. Nika won my heart too. As for the girlfriend Maureen... gotta love her spirit and devotion.

The story matters. As you probably read the game's description: time travel is involved. It's chock-full of sci-fi and mystery, inspired by the movie Back to the Future. I'm glad the vast majority of twists are experienced in your own timeline. That does give it a certain oomph, that you're not just messing around in time-jumps where you get to do anything. No, it has direct consequence because you're doing it in the 'real' world.

The dialog is done well. Each character has their own mannerism. Never was I bored or did I lose immersion.

The sex scenes are great. They have sublime animations and lots of intimacy with eye contact and kissing. The characters look as lifelike as it gets with current gen. And they're occasionally animated even outside a sex scene! Goes to show how much attention went into this.


This is a must play.

Great game ! I started playing the game thinking it's just another VN with lots of sex in it... I was wrong. This is like a Sci-Fi/erotic novel with a fairly linear story but, the premise and execution is like nothing I've seen before. I won't spoil it for anyone wanting to try it for themselves, but be patient with the story and it will deliver
Like any game it has small problems, some of witch were solved in the second part, but I'll leave that for the chapter 2 review .
Great animations, renders, story and funny pop-culture references.
The text needs a little more proof-reading to be up to my standards
Renders 5/5
Animations 5/5
Story 5/5
Execution 4/5 (small problems with animations; repetitive music; some typos and grammar mistakes)
Overall 5/5
I really enjoyed the game overall and can't wait to see what happens next.

Beautiful game, the story is very original and well researched (looks like a movie). The graphics and 'good level animations well done, the audio is ok, the and' divided into parts so this version Unconditional Love leaves a final open to the next episode (not yet complete at the moment) However very nice, I wait for the end of the second chapter to play and review it.

This is my really first visual novel. I'm really surprise by how good it was. The scenario is well written and the arts are fantastic.Thank you dev you really have a talent. 5 stars, and thank you very much for this brand new experience !

This masterpiece, is an adult version of Back to the Future. First, I want to talk about the render quality. Oh my God! It's an absolutely state of art and very unique, somewhat stylish. I've never seen anything like this before, top quality. The writing is hilarious. Humor is all over the game, even in tense moments, you can read something that make you smile. The story seems more complicated than Back to the Future as there are more travelers here that cause more chaos in times, but I feel all mysteries and chaos will be resolved logically in the end because I think dev(s) wrote the scenario before starting the game. Minor details in the beginning may tell you more later so pay attention everything. Also, the story is quite linear for a VN. There are small amount of choices and most of them impact sex scenes or sex partners, so don't expect path changing choices.Honestly I don't care of linearity of the game because other aspects are great. Speaking of sex, they are all animated and very exciting. Females are gorgeous, MC has a horse dick, so enjoy. This is a masterpiece, highly recommended.

It's not a visual novel, in a sense that there isnt really character build-up. Every female in the game wants to have sex with you because you have like, a big dick or wherever the reason.

That causes the storyline to feel empty. You don't really believe in what's happening, and you can clearly see that everything is there just to clear that or this fetish. I'm not saying fetishes are bad, but without any build, good context or believable story setting, it's just porn scenes.

That said, this is a great example of porn game. It has almost everything and the animations are superb.

4/5
