About
You play as a former firefighter turned private investigator, a man who once dreamed of being a hero—until he uncovered evidence of corruption within the fire department… and felt the pull to become corrupt himself. Unable to trust his own morals, he retired.
Until a mysterious young woman crashes into his life, begging for help finding her missing friend.
In exchange for your help, she offers you something impossible:
A stopwatch that can freeze time.
But the stopwatch may not be the only power in play. As your investigation deepens, you’ll begin to uncover signs that others may possess abilities that bend reality itself—such as reading and influencing the minds of others.
With time — and perhaps other forces — at your command, every choice becomes more dangerous.
Now you must investigate a city rotting from the inside, uncover a conspiracy that hides its crimes behind fire and ash—and decide whether you will remain a hero… or become the very thing you once hated.
This Time – Part One begins the story. Future parts will continue the narrative as paid standalone sequels, with full save and choice carryover.
Choice-Driven Adult Visual Novel – Your decisions shape relationships, character outcomes, and the story’s moral direction.
Erotic Thriller & Supernatural Mystery Narrative – A dark, grounded story blended with impossible powers and hidden forces.
Time-Freezing & Reality-Bending Abilities – Time is only the beginning.
Multiple Romance Routes & Outcomes – Each woman has her own personality, values, and reactions to your choices.
Naturally Integrated Adult Content – Erotic scenes arise organically from story and relationships.
High Replayability Through Branching Paths – Different decisions lead to different consequences, routes, and endings.
THIS TIME is not a lighthearted adult comedy. It is a serious, character-driven erotic thriller where absolute power invites absolute corruption.
When physics itself can be broken, the only real limit is your conscience.

Really good dialogue and story, a new develepor took over a couple of month ago, so more will come.
I'm not sure what is going on with this game, right now it seems like it's in a bit of a mess. On the one hand, it's got beautiful art, sound, excellent storytelling and writing. On the other, it seems directionless, slow to update and incomplete. It started out in Early Access. Now it's . . . not? But I would definitely not call it complete. The story ended in June of 2023 with promise of updates "every 2 months". As of December 2023, it is still in that state. Can't recommend this as it stands.

One of the better games available. Interesting and compelling story. Good characters and good artwork, much better dialog than most of this genre. Looking forward to seeing how they develop this.
Abandoned game, had promise and some of the scenes that are there are good but it's probably not worth the price tag when there's other finished games out there for just a little more.
[h1][b]🎮 Reseña de This Time - Part One[/b][/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] This Time - Part One es ese “combo imposible” que Steam ama venderte: una novela visual con drama y contenido sexual, pero maquillada con Acción, Aventura, Rol y hasta Simuladores… porque claro, si eliges una opción en un diálogo ya eres un “simulador inmersivo” (según la ciencia). La propuesta gira alrededor de decisiones tipo “elige tu propia aventura”, con manipulación del tiempo y finales múltiples, en un enfoque de ficción interactiva. En la práctica, vas a pasar más tiempo leyendo, eligiendo rutas y viendo consecuencias, que “jugando” en el sentido tradicional… lo cual está perfecto, siempre y cuando no vengas esperando combos, loot y un jefe final que no sea tu propia impulsividad. Primera impresión: se siente como una historia diseñada para que tomes malas decisiones “por curiosidad” y luego te castigues recargando partida con la dignidad hecha rompecabezas. Casual, sí. Inocente, no. Y definitivamente: no apto para oficinas (a menos que tu oficina sea un circo). [h2]Lo Sexy y lo Sensato[/h2] Lo Bueno: ✅ Decisiones y finales múltiples que invitan a rejugar (o a arrepentirte con estilo) 🔁 ✅ Manipulación del tiempo como gancho narrativo: útil para justificar segundas oportunidades ⏳ ✅ Subtítulos disponibles: al menos puedes entender exactamente en qué momento arruinaste todo 💬 ✅ Logros de Steam (5): pocos, pero sirven para documentar tus pecados en tu perfil 🏆 ✅ Steam Cloud: tus decisiones cuestionables te siguen a donde vayas ☁️ Lo No Tan Bueno: ❌ 0 jugadores actuales: la fiesta está tan sola que hasta el narrador se escucha eco 🥶 ❌ “Acción/Rol/Simuladores” suena más ambicioso de lo que suele ser en una ficción interactiva 🤨 ❌ 5 logros se sienten como “cumplí y me fui” para un juego con finales múltiples 😴 ❌ Si esperas gameplay profundo más allá de apuntar y clic + decisiones, puede quedarse corto 🖱️ ❌ El tono “realista + contenido sexual” puede dividir: o te engancha o te da cringe existencial 🫠 [h2]Tabla de Evaluación[/h2] [table] [tr][th]Aspecto[/th][th]Puntuación (0-10)[/th][th]Comentario[/th][/tr] [tr][td]Jugabilidad[/td][td]6[/td][td]Decisiones, clics y lectura: cumple, pero no rompe esquemas.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Dificultad / IA[/td][td]5[/td][td]No es “difícil”, es “elige y vive con eso”.

Si te gustan las novelas visuales con rutas y consecuencias, aquí hay material para picarte… y para juzgarte. Pero seamos controversiales: que tenga 123 recomendaciones totales y 0 jugadores actuales dice mucho del tipo de juego que la gente “termina”, deja una recomendación y desaparece como si nada hubiera pasado. No es necesariamente malo, pero sí sugiere que no es ese título que se queda viviendo en tu biblioteca. En resumen: cumple como historia con elecciones y rejugabilidad decente, pero su ambición de “Acción/Rol/Simuladores” se siente más como etiqueta de buffet que como realidad jugable. [h3]Recomendación de Compra (Con reservas)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 5.8/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 0 Descuento máximo registrado: N/A Veredicto: [i]Recomendado solo si vienes por la historia, las decisiones y el drama; no si esperas “acción” de verdad.[/i] Si buscas una novela visual realista con finales múltiples y un enfoque de “elige tu caos”, adelante. Si lo tuyo es el gameplay duro, sistemas profundos o sentir que el “rol” es más que elegir opciones de diálogo, mejor pasa de largo antes de que el juego te haga una manipulación del tiempo… pero a tu paciencia.
I am gonna say I didn't expect this game to bounce back once again in steam and leave a pretty much better experience after the latest update. Kudos to dev for making such a beautiful game. Thank you for fixing the achievement which is easy to achieve. The story build is phenomenal and story pace is good too, neither too fast nor too slow. The choice of justice or vengence and virtue or depravity is something new for me and I quite enjoyed it. I have a lot of expectations from this dev and I am definitely gonna recommend this game to each and everyone who plays games of this genre.
✅The Good: + Good Quality | 8/10 + Attractive Women | 7.2/10 + Story is interesting but could be better | 7/10 + Sex Scenes are goodish | 7.6/10 + It has Gallery ❌The Bad: - Few Sex Scenes - Not much content/Story - Few women - Is not marked as esrly acess https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3100586154 Score💙: 7/10 Goodish game, the story is interesting with time manipulation but could be done better, few women, sex scenes are goodish and few and there is not much content.

I think this is a really cool & unusual story. There have been problems with progress due to the original developer having health issues. However, the person he partnered with is now taking the work forward so we can now look forward to plenty more, plus the whole thing being a finished article at some point.
its an interesting game full of choice and consequence. So far the author has backed off any truly evil options or "its just a dream'd" it but ... you can only do so much if you sell on Steam
