idk if its just me but, time looks like homura, and space looks like god madoka
IM ON THE PART WHERE NIL IS VENTING SAYIN "But whenever it came, you would just rewind again to be with another new me!" AND ITS ACTUALLY GIVING MADOKA AND HOMURA
I’m crying 😭 (I am lesbian to :3)
I can't even play this please fix it, it takes forever to load i have been waiting 3 hours and it still hasen't loaded.
Maybe your internet's slow?
me and my friend spent like half of our day trying to load this game, and it was worth it
im actively crying andscreaming from this game i absolutely love this
Im going to love thiss
This game is a pure beauty done right, got all the endings and the overall atmosphere is more than lovely!
Kudos to you NomnomNami, Emmit and LydianChord!
this really reminds me of sana and kronii. i love it.
God. I think I first found this game on the Play store at least 3+ years ago. It's never lost my mind, even if I could never remember the name. A couple days ago, I scrounged around forever and finally found it! Just as good as I remember!! (And then while scrolling through itch.io for basically the first time, came across it on accident! Should've done that from the start, lol)
Anyways... My cousin just started middleschool and my uncle is getting her a laptop for xmas. I said I'd get her the art programs and stuff as my added presents but ALSO decided to toss her a flashdrive of an assortment of indie Whatnots(rpg. vn. clicker. etc) Bc when I was in middleschool a decade ago. Flashdrives were still on the supplies list yet were at that point just becoming obsolete in school bc of Drive and Cloud and stuff. Around 7th grade there was a game trading ring. I say trade loosely bc it was just kids sharing the games they had with others that didn't have them. So hypothetically, everyone would end up with the same library, it's how I got games like IB. Mad Father. Misao. Undertale. Crooked Man+. etc! I wanted to kinda pass that tradition along. But with more games! Bc while all the ones I had(and still have the “og” files to) ARE great games, they've been well played and covered and maybe she's seen them idk! SO new stuff on top of that!! AND I get a buncha new stuff for myself by proxy lol
And this is one of the games I will be gifting her <3
this game is so beautiful omg i can’t.. literally EVERYTHING ab it i absolutely adore!! especially the music it helps me sleep at night lol.
A sweet love story about space and time. The visuals and music compliment each other well. Love it!
A beautifully emotional story, with captivating art and a touching narrative about love and time!
Was playing this as a kid a sign of something... non-heterosexual? ͡•ᴗ͡•
Brooooo I love this gammeee
I actually felt so bad every time I reset an ending to go after another one. Especially the Nil ending, because when you go to reset Nil gets so sad and I felt so bad for resetting
I need to buy this version, but I get it for Android on PlayStore for free? What is that? Why don't you want money for the Android Version on PlayStore too?
the web version is also free. the difference is the paid version has extra bonus features. the reason for this is that steam doesn't allow you to give away the same game for free on other platforms, so i had to differentiate them.
On PlayStore free - Itch.io $3.00 USD.
I have BlueStacks! I play the Android Version on Windows 11! I have played the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft (Android only Version from PlayStore) on Windows 11 too! With the help of the free Bluestacks! You can't make me stop!
like i said, the android version is missing extra features the paid version has. please enjoy the story for free anyway, i'm happy when people play my games!
How can I get the third ending in the Android Version?
How can I get this two looked things?
Jast do all the opsons and test evrting out it work for me
loved it
this reminds me of escaped chasm :0
Replenish the steam key😳

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH CCHJCJCJC
GAHH THS IS SO COOL!! EVEN THO IM NOT PLAYING THE ACTUAL ONE I LOVE NIL AND SPACEEE AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TIME AGGGHH!!! :3
Hello. the question is, are the tears of space with dimensional? like of dimensional from physics, only each one is independent of the given ones.
I can't even replay this game to get more endings THAT MEANS RESETTING EVERYONE'S MEMORIES AND THAT'S TAKING AWAY THE HAPPY ENDING AAAAAAA
This game is beautiful by all means and respects, words can't describe how dear this game is to me!
I played the mobile version, so I was surprised when I saw the credits lol
Reminds me of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a great show.
Keep up the great work! 10/10
With Love nightowl8641
Thank you for making a wonderful game!
I was very surprised by the system, which takes full advantage of the rewind feature of Ren'Py!
I remember feeling a secret despair along with the main character when I couldn't rewind the dialogue any more because of the link to the story.
The illustrations were also very cute and I wanted to keep looking at the animation!
OMG I LOVE THIS AAAA
I need more games like this..I'm O B S E S S E D
Yes.
LESBIANNNSS >:D
YEAHYUHHHH
This has to be one of the most cutest lesbian couple I've ever seen.
Yes.
they are so gay
lesbian you mean
I use the two interchangably, as gay just means homosexual, which means attracted to the same gender, and I'm pretty sure they are all women.
this game makes me want to ball my eyes out but in a good a
ilost
