About this game
Milan has it all. Caring parents, good grades, and friends (or acquaintances, as he prefers to call them). But everything he knows collapses when he becomes the sole suspect in the brutal murder of his parents, with every piece of evidence pointing toward him.
Milan must unravel the lies and secrets behind the murder. But the deeper he digs, the harder it becomes to trust anyone — even himself. Is he truly innocent, or is there an ugly truth hidden beneath the cracks of reality?
Time Crack is a mystery and psychological thriller visual novel about truth, trust, and doubt. Follow Milan’s choices, investigations, and discoveries in the search for the truth — and only the truth. Will you uncover it… or be destroyed by it?
· ~6-8 hours of gameplay (70-80K words) depending on your choices. Immerse yourself in a suspenseful narrative full of twists and dark secrets.
· Multiple endings and routes. Your choices matter in Time Crack. Which ending will you reach, and what sacrifices must be made along the way?
· Original, scene-specific CG illustrations. Time Crack doesn't hold back on depicting blood, corpses, and death.
· Interactive investigation segments. Search for clues and evidence in pursuit of the truth. Who killed Milan's parents? It's up to you to find out.
· Choose between Gameplay Mode and Narration Mode. If you prefer to just read, Time Crack can be played entirely without choices and investigations. Follow the canon route without additional branching!

New update on demo!
Happy New Year! :DThe demo for Time Crack has been updated with a new UI element. Now, you can choose between Gameplay Mode and Narration Mode! Gameplay Mode will keep all interactive elements, such as choices and investigation segments. But if you prefer to simply read Time Crack as a traditional visual novel and follow the canon route, Narration Mode is for you.Please keep in mind: Due to the change, some save files from before this build may not work (you might see a rollback error). For this reason, it's recommended to start a new game with this version. So sorry for the inconvenience! During choices, you can still switch to Narration Mode, however, you will have to complete the choice you're currently on. During investigation segments, you will not be able to switch to Narration Mode, and you will have to complete the investigation before switching.This version has been tested for errors, however, if you still run into bugs or strange behavior, please contact me on melthemel.dev@gmail.com - I'd really appreciate it! Thank you to everyone who has supported and wishlisted Time Crack. I wish you an amazing year ahead!- MelTheMelNightfall NarrativesRead full article on Community Announcements (MelTheMel)
