I had already played it once but unfortunately abandoned it because I didn't know what to do at one point. I'm very glad I gave this game another chance a few years later because I really liked it. I specifically liked the setting of this small German town. Visiting it in different time periods and seeing how certain buildings change and the town evolves was very cool. The voice acting also had a charm all of its own. Of course, the dialog is a bit cheesy and Eike as the main character is sometimes quite stupid, but I found it all the more likeable. The story is a bit confusing, typical for time travel, and doesn't make much sense if you think about it for too long. But I found it motivating and for the most part well written. The different endings definitely increase the replay value and I will definitely be replaying it a few times. Overall, a cool narrative game with a time travel theme and some really unintentionally funny moments. I fell in love with this game a little bit :D

it was good until later in the game when it gives you vague objectives you have to complete under a time limit (death suddenly being a game over with 0 explanation instead of having homunculus explain how you died and how to prevent it) which i didn't know was a thing until i read about it in a walkthrough (which i needed if i had any chance of finishing this last chapter). having time progress faster as you talk to npcs, something you will 100% be doing a lot if you don't know what to do next, is fucking stupid. i think i finished the last chapter with only a few minutes left until my death, which would have happened had i spoken to like only 2 npcs and exhausted their dialogue.
got ending D and have no desire to try for any others anymore, unfortunately.

himbo attempts to prevent his own death with the help of a demonic twink
Es tosco, se ve regular, los diálogos y las actuaciones dejan mucho que desear, pero es bastante único y tiene una atmósfera chula
An interesting concept, had a lot of goofy dialogues but the story and concept was alright
Ending D Playthrough (Watched others ones Youtube)
Really neato adventure game. Took me years to bother to go back and finish, but it felt nice to cross off. I liked all the endings other than what I got lol. Lots of little events to encounter too.
