❤ Gameplay Overview

You take on the role of Teuta, a 21-year-old freelance journalist who can briefly leap into the bodies of others. This time-travel ability allows you to investigate crimes and help those around you. The game features an overarching mystery narrative as well as individual storylines and romance routes for five male love interests.

❤ Narrative Structure

The story unfolds in an episodic format, with each chapter focusing on a specific case or event that Teuta investigates. This structure balances the overarching mystery and the individual character routes well. You can freely explore different chapters and routes, and the choices made in one route do not lock you out of others.

❤ Time-Travel Mechanics

The core gameplay mechanic is Teuta's ability to leap back in time for a short period. You can use this to observe crimes or events, then make different choices to affect the outcome. This creates an engaging loop of observing, reflecting, and altering the timeline.

❤ Player Choices and Branching Paths

Throughout the game, you face numerous dialogue choices that impact the story and character relationships. These choices not only affect individual routes, but can also unlock different story branches and endings. The consequences of your decisions are often not immediately clear, encouraging thoughtful choices.

❤ Pacing and Progression

The pacing alternates well between dramatic crime/mystery elements and more lighthearted, slice-of-life scenes. The progression through chapters and routes feels organic, with the overarching narrative providing a strong throughline. You can choose to focus on a specific character's route or explore the story in an open-ended fashion.

❤ Technical Aspects

While the PC port has received some criticism for its control scheme and technical issues, the core gameplay experience remains solid. The visual presentation, with animated character sprites and backgrounds, is a notable highlight. The full Japanese voice cast adds to the immersion, even if some untranslated dialogue can be found.
