Long time forum stalker, relatively recently made an account, and despite the fact that I've tried (almost to the end), more than 400 games, I never wrote a reply, neither ever wanted to.
Not until Timestamps Episode 2 came out...
I admit that I am a sucker for
stories, so I may not be 100% objective here, but each review is a personal preference post after all, isn't it?
Well, long story short, after playing the last update only one word came to my mind:
MASTERPIECE!
Yep, exactly how you read it fellow f95zoners, it's a freaking masterpiece.
The models, the animations, the uniqueness are all top notch;
but the story... oh boy the story, you start thinking that all those broken puzzle pieces are just scrambled jibberish here and there with their sole purpose being to lead to lewd scenes.
But after you start progressing and realise that each and every piece of the story is connected to each other, BOOM! Mindblown.
Seriously, the story (and I hope they 'll play it the same way till the end), is better than half the ones we encounter in books and movies out there.
There is no point to get into details, but lets just say that if not every character, then 90% of them, plays a significant role in the outcome of the events, and the game is worth more than your average fap.
If I had to break it down to individual ratings I'd say :
Renders 5/5
Animations 4,5/5 (They way they are handled are kinda problematic, but the "cutscene" feature makes it up)
Controls / UI 5/5
Story (seriously) 6/5 (I know, I know)
Nothing more to add here, congratulations to the studio behind Timestamps,
definetely one of the best games of the genre out there and a MUST TRY for everyone who's interested in a story driven - erotic game, and not on a quick fap & leave.
Keep up the good work Aesouh & Motkeyz!
