This Time [v2306] [ApocalypseToday]

How long before it all goes up in flames?

THIS TIME is an erotic thriller visual novel of a former firefighter-turned-PI, and his struggle with corruption without and within. All his life, he thought he wanted to be a hero. But when he finally got his hands on evidence that could expose the fire department’s corruption, he was badly shook by the temptation to commit blackmail. Unable to trust himself, he retired…

Until the day a young woman barged into his life, begging him for help finding her missing friend. In lieu of money, she offered him a stopwatch with an incredible ability: the power to freeze time. And, along with it, the power to act without consequences.

Now, he will need to use his newfound power to help the women in his life and to unravel a conspiracy who conceal their misdeeds with fire. But as he grapples with the corruption eating away at the city, this time will he be able to resist his own descent into corruption?

This version is the new STARTING POINT of the game. We have not yet caught back up to the story point in the old version but there is lots of new content in-between old scenes.
