Timestamps: Lost Love is the second chapter in a choice-driven adult visual novel series, developed by Motkeyz. Players step into the shoes of a college student whose reckless desires have led to disastrous consequences. When a best friend unlocks the power to manipulate time, you’re granted a chance to revisit pivotal moments, rectify mistakes, and reshape relationships—or spiral into deeper chaos. With branching paths, mature themes, and a focus on consequences, this sci-fi-tinged adventure challenges players to balance lust, loyalty, and redemption across multiple timelines
Time-Manipulation Gameplay
1. Rewind and Redo: Central to the experience is the ability to reverse time at key decision points. Unlike linear narratives, this mechanic lets you undo choices like betraying a friend or pursuing a forbidden romance, observing how alternate actions ripple through relationships and outcomes
2. Butterfly Effect System: Every adjustment—no matter how small—can trigger cascading consequences. For example, avoiding one mistake might unexpectedly strain another relationship, mirroring real-life cause and effect while encouraging careful planning
3. Multi-Timeline Exploration: The game tracks parallel outcomes across different playthroughs. You can experiment with bold or subtle choices in successive runs, uncovering hidden scenes and endings tied to characters’ secret desires or unresolved conflicts
Narrative Depth and Characters
1. Complex Cast of Personalities: Interact with a diverse roster including classmates, love interests, and authority figures, each with unique backstories and motivations. Your actions determine whether they become allies, enemies, or something more intimate
2. Moral Ambiguity: Decisions rarely have clear “right” or “wrong” answers. Helping one character might harm another, forcing players to weigh selfish desires against ethical boundaries—such as choosing between personal gratification and a friend’s trust
3. Emotional Stakes: The story delves into themes of regret, jealousy, and vulnerability. Characters react authentically to your time-altered choices, with some remembering past timeline versions of events, adding layers of psychological tension
Adult Themes and Customization
1. Mature Content Integration: The game weaves explicit scenes—including romantic encounters and BDSM elements—organically into the narrative, reflecting the protagonist’s desires and consequences. These moments are toggleable for personalized play
2. Path-Driven Unlocks: Successfully navigating challenges unlocks exclusive CGs, secret dialogues, and bonus scenarios. For instance, achieving a “perfect” route might reveal a character’s hidden backstory or an alternate resolution to a conflict
3. Player Agency: Beyond major choices, subtle interactions (e.g., dialogue tones or gift-giving) influence affinity levels. This system ensures no two players have identical journeys, bolstering replayability
Technical Highlights and Accessibility
1. Cross-Platform Support: Available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, with language options for English, Russian, and Italian players. The prequel, Timestamps: Unconditional Love, provides foundational context but isn’t required to enjoy this chapter
2. Anonymous Analytics: Optional Unity-based data collection helps developers refine updates, though players can block it via firewall for privacy. The R11 PE version includes enhanced animations and bug fixes from earlier releases
3. Standalone Expansion: While part of a series, the story is designed as a self-contained experience, ideal for newcomers and returning fans alike. Its focus on time paradoxes and emotional drama sets it apart from conventional visual novels
