What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Time For Changes is an episodic visual novel planned for four chapters. Releasing in Early Access allows me to deliver the first completed episode to players right away, gather community feedback on pacing and narrative choices, and refine future episodes based on player reactions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is expected to remain in Early Access for roughly 1 to 3 years while the remaining episodes are being produced, illustrated, and localized.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to feature all four complete story episodes, resolving all narrative arcs and character routes. It will also include additional music tracks, new CG illustrations, Steam achievements, and overall quality-of-life polish.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Episode 1 is fully completed and playable from start to finish. It features the complete introductory storyline, multiple branching dialogue choices, distinct endings, full English and Russian text localization, original art, and a complete soundtrack for this part of the story.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The price will be lower during Early Access to reward early supporters. As new episodes are added and the overall scope of the project expands, the price is planned to increase moderately.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I actively monitor discussions on the Steam Community Hub and social media channels. Player feedback regarding narrative tone, bug reports, pacing, and localization corrections will directly inform updates and help polish subsequent episodes.”

About This Game

Semyon's world is crumbling before his eyes: his parents' bitter divorce, failed exams, and a forced transfer to a “problem” class. It feels like there's no way out — just endless grayness and hostility ahead.

The new class has its own unwritten rules, where any slip-up can be turned against you. Time seems frozen, waiting for the inevitable disaster. Yet even at the center of personal collapse, fate offers a chance to change everything.

Semyon must not only survive in this unforgiving school but also realize that failures are merely steps on a much larger path. Will you break under the pressure of circumstances, or grow stronger before it's too late?

Every Choice Matters: Shape Semyon's personality and decide who to trust. Your decisions directly affect character relationships and route branches.

Living Characters: Build bonds or create rivalries with unique classmates, each hiding their own secrets and struggles.

Atmospheric Journey: A deeply personal coming-of-age story supported by expressive visuals and an immersive soundtrack.

Multiple Endings: Each episode features distinct branching paths and conclusions based on the paths you take.

Episodic Structure: The game features 4 planned episodes. Purchasing during Early Access grants full access to all future episodes at no additional cost.
