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.

I was fustrated because this game hadnt been updated in a long time. Then ii read somethiing that the Dev was sick. I hope they are better. When i saw the uppdated ii got excited. Nut when I played the uppdated now im really excited to see what comes next. this game has alot of promise and i cant wait for the next update. its a recommeded for me
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

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.
Old dev disappeared, and a new dev has come in to save the game. Color me intrigued. You have my support for your dedication to seeing the story continued! Game's free now, with the story to be added onto in the future. No reason not to check it out now!
R.I.P. Shame it didn't see the finish line. :/
Having just finished the game, I can say that I am honestly looking forward to its continuance. The story takes the time-stop trope and actually manages not to make it as silly as it has been done before. This makes it far more of a special event than just having the character running round stopping time every other sentence in order to grope everything in a five mile radius. I would like to mention in particular that the writing is on a whole new level, not seen often in this genre. Not all the dialogue is punchy or witty, but especially the poetic quotes and several of the backstories are rather well written. This is very reminiscent of a film noir, it uses several of those traits to good effect in trying to explain a bunch of things which make it make sense at least. So this is definitely one to try if you are interested in AVN´s with a decent story which goes deeper (and darker, much much darker) than most others. Can´t wait to get the next chapters going as soon as they become available.
This was really absorbing/ engaging. The characters have a hint of depth. The non-lewd animations were really good. The soundtrack really set the tone well. I liked the whole gritty PI vibe. I liked that it felt like I had agency in the character make-up. I'm really hoping for part 2, but I know it is going to be a while.
Is a good game but sadly is no longer available. Hopefully someone else take over and continue the second chapter.
de momento no me termina de enganchar
