This game is adorable. Couldn't recommend enough. While it is short, it has an amazing storyline alongside beautiful artworks. I played this back somewhere in 2022 or 2021 (I believe, don't know exact date) and coming across it again was pure luck. Although it does get just slightly lovey-dovey (they kiss), it's something anybody can handle. 10/10. (By the way, if it keeps crashing, try reinstalling the game. I played fine, no crashes. May just not be compatible with your device.)

I reallllyyyy loved this game! The visuals and the storytelling were brilliant! This game took me a few days to finish, but each day I was constantly thinking about it afterward. This is truly a game I will never forget, and it might me my favorite on the play store. I love the LGBTQ themes, and all the characters personalitys. The game mechanics and the music were very excellent as well. <3

The most beautiful game play expirience I've had in a while. I had cried several times, finding myself relating to every character on such a personal level. I love everything about this game, to the story and to the art. Even the very premise of being able to rewind is brilliant and I understand the analogies (I wont spoil). If you're wondering if this is the game to get, it absolutely is. No ads, very easy to operate and follow, and a straight to the point yet beautifully illustrated story.

I absolutely love this little game, yes it was short but it was worth every second of my time. I'm a sucker for romance, and this was everything I'd hoped for. I love the art style, music, and the story of it all. I love how you incorporated the rewind and restart feature, there was never a dull moment. Also love how the starting screen changes, due to your decisions. This was made and put together very well. I honestly can't wait for future games like this one. Truly this was an amazing game.

(Edit, I didn't know this was the same creator as bad end theater wow. (Another amazing game you should play)) This game is beautiful. I downloaded it a while ago and didn't remember what to expect, so when I played through it I was completely blind. This is such a creative concept, and it being free with no interrupting ads is a very nice change. I wouldn't have even minded paying a few bucks for it. The art is gorgeous, the story is sweet and just so damn creative

Great idea, not what i expected. Cute and deep. I could really see this being a full game even beyond a visual novel, but time resetting games are really complicated and what you did here is a good amount of content without being crazy ambitious. Its managable. A perfect size for what it is, but a fraction of the size it could be (if you invested your entire life force in to expanding the game). Idk im tired.

I'm currently playing this and it's absolutely amazing! Beautiful story, beautiful imagery, and very emotional! (Spoiler warning!) I'm trying to decide whether I should reset to get the other ending right now or if I should stay with Nil. It's so hard, I don't want to leave Nil alone but, I also want to find Space again and get the other endings! It's very difficult. Truly a beautiful and interesting game.

I've played most of the visual novelsNomnomnami has to offer, and this has always been one of my faves. The utilization of the visual novel format and turning that into time travel was super creative, and the story, while short, is heartfelt. Character designs are lovely as well. Spoilers ahead!!! I genuinely love that Time isn't forced to choose between Space and Nil, and that she can choose to be with both of them. Visual novels don't often have poly rep, especially not in such a unique way.

I love the way this game breaks the fourth wall, especially how rewinding is a big part of the story. Even with the limited characters, this game manages to make it work! Space is adorable, Nil is absolutely badass, everything is just perfect; and there are plenty of places where you can put in your input. The choices change your game alot, I'd give this game 10 stars if I could.

I'm positive I've reviewed this on my alternate, but I have no problem leaving you an extra five stars. This game, albeit short, is just... immaculate. It's beautiful, poetic, and a touch heartbreaking. I love the endings, and the characters... everything is just lovely, and I'm probably going to download and play it again just from talking about it.
