Имплозия Времени / Time Implosion [v.0.14] (2022) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [Wizard's Kiss]

v0.14 - 2024-01-18
Continued the story from where it left off, adding around 170 new renders and over 1000 lines of script.

v0.13 - 2023-04-11
Continued the story where it left off.
Added 200+ renders
Added ~8 new animations
Added 1k+ lines of code
For people who have played through v0.11, you'll be able to start directly from Chapter 2 (the end of v0.11 and start of v0.13) if you play through the last scene of v0.11 again.
If you use an older save, I suggest you ignore the character screen until you reach the end of v0.11 again. At that point, you can go to the main menu and choose to start at chapter 2, and the character screen should work.

v0.11
Continued the story where it left off.*
Added ~600 new images and 12 new animations.
Reorganized the image folder. (It was a fucking mess before)
Fixed an issue that made it so the days weren't being tracked properly.
Fixed a contradiction with the names given in the book.
Changed default transition style. The game should flow more naturally now.**

*To get to the new stuff, choose the gun during the school hostage scene and, after it loops, take Sam's bet.

**This was changed for new scenes for now. It will make its way to old scenes eventually.

About the game:

The game features a progression system in the form of attributes which persist through "loops". Each new iteration of the loop deepens the story as secrets are uncovered and new options become available. However, the burden of having to relive the same week over and over takes it's toll as the protagonist becomes increasingly twisted, morality and sanity giving way for pragmatism and madness. Overcome this challenge or succumb to the insanity, the choice is yours.

About the author:
The first visual novel I played was Fate/stay night. The story gripped me immediately and didn't let me go for almost 50 hours. By the time I got to the erotic content I had become so familiar with the characters that the whole experience became much more intimate than other forms of erotic content could ever be.

I believe the reason for this is that seeing a pornstar naked is completely different from seeing a coworker or friend naked. To know the person well enough in a non-sexual context, and then have them be presented to you in a sexual context, is much more stimulating.

This feeling is what I aim to recreate in my work.
