Hey everyone!
I’m happy to say that Chapter 02 is ready for Steam! I was asked to make a few small changes today after the review was done, but I’ve completed that, and now I’m just waiting to get the green light from the Steam team. Chapter 02 will be available to you shortly after that. The process has taken a little bit longer than Chapter 01, but we’re almost there!
As you all know, it did take extra time to get Chapter 02 ready for Steam, but the way that I’ve prepared the game now should make it so that going forward, future chapters should take significantly less time.
Comment Poll Winner: Ellie
Thanks to everyone who posted their choice for the wallpaper! Ellie won and I personally think her wallpaper turned out really well! Hope you all like it :)
I only realized this after making the post, but I may have accidentally skewed the results by posting a very sexy booty shot of Ellie as the picture for the post xD My bad if that helped with your choice! Next time there’s a comment poll, I’ll make the main image of the post ELVO in a bikini….Just kidding, it’ll be a group shot ;p
Incoming Updates
With Chapter 02 incoming, you’ll be receiving an update to Chapter 01. Chapter 01 is the base game and will contain all the assets that will be reused throughout Chapters 1 - 12. Things like character overlays, location images, music files, etc. Please be aware that because of this, the size of Chapter 01 will continue to grow. The info will be updated on the Steam page with each update.
With this being the case, you will also have the option to play any chapter without needing the previous chapter downloaded (other than chapter 01). I don’t recommend it as it would be kinda confusing in terms of storyline, but you can if you want :3
New features
Chapters Menu
For the most part, you'll just load up your save and continue the story. This feature is for players who want to replay certain chapters or even skip ahead.
On the main menu, through the new CH# icon, you’ll now have the ability to jump to a chapter you wish to play (as long as you have the DLC for that chapter installed). Simply click on the chapter you wish to play, and after answering some questions, the game will determine your progress, and what stats, items, extras, etc. that you have. The only thing you won’t get is Time Fragments and hidden items, but you’ll be able to get those again in a future chapter.
Note: This feature is hitting Steam first! I haven’t experienced any issues through testing, but please let me know if you notice any bugs. Thanks!
DLC
(A little preview of the Ellie wallpaper you're getting.)
The DLC icon listed both on the main menu and your in-game phone (to be added with the upcoming update) will link you to the available DLC for Time For You. DLC for new chapters will automatically be added when you open your game. Other DLC that you get will also automatically unlock when you’re in the “Terminal Between Chapters”, but you can manually unlock them by clicking on the DLC icon on your in-game phone and selecting “UNLOCK DLC”.
Additional DLC
Adding the DLC has been both fun and brutal in terms of coding, but at the end of the day, it’s pretty cool and I like the idea of more DLC to add to your playing experience. For now, I’ve created some more DLC that include things like in-game phone wallpapers for different characters, and the walkthrough. If there’s interest, I’d be happy to make more.
Note: These haven’t been approved yet, but I’ve sent them over for review, and hopefully Steam gives them the green light.

The official walkthrough for Time For You. This walkthrough will guide you to finding everything and lead you to the TRUE ENDING. You'll also get a new icon/app on your in-game phone once installed. Just click the icon and a pdf file will load up. I'm contemplating adding an in-game walkthrough that could be shown and hidden through a key-stroke (like clicking "9" or something), follow your progress, so when you re-open it, it's ready to help (or close), but I'm not sure if there's interest in something like that. If I do add it, it would be included in this DLC as well. Let me know if this is something that you would be interested in :)
(Sorry, I had to censor this for the community post. It's uncensored in the Wallpaper pack!)
Chapter 03 News
Making Chapter 03 has been really fun! I love reading the theories that people have posted so far about the story, and I’m super excited for when you’re able to play Chapter 02, and to read your theories about the future of the story as well!
One of the main locations in Chapter 03 is the Police Station. There are only a few more areas that I need to complete, but they’re pretty key to the story. All that’s left is the police storage, the captain’s office, and what I’m most looking forward to, The Vault, made by ETMI Corp.
So far the development to Chapter 03 has gone well, but it’s pretty clear that people want more Ellie. Trust me, there will be plenty of Ellie. In fact, there will be a point in Chapter 03 where you will actually get to play as Ellie for a little while in a story capacity ;)
More news soon and thanks for your support!
