The Lust Out of Time

Grace wakes up to a day that feels strangely out of place. Her morning begins with confusion when she discovers a note explaining that her husband has gone on a trip, something that wasn’t supposed to happen this soon. As she moves through the house, her unease deepens upon entering her office. There, she finds a number of unfamiliar items scattered across the room, most notably a small stack of floppy disks. Curious and unsettled, she examines them and discovers a series of suggestive images and even a video of herself, one she has no recollection of recording. Grace investigates further. One of the files contains a phone number, and when she calls it, she quickly learns that her life may not be as innocent or straightforward as she believed. Determined to uncover the truth, she begins searching for clues hidden in the disks, hoping to piece together what happened over the last month. You guide Grace through this process by interacting with objects in her office, especially the six floppy disks. Each disk can be explored in any order and contains images, videos, or text files. Viewing an image or watching a video unlocks a new fragment of memory. These recollections are accessed…

Right from the start, you’re thrown into Grace Anderson’s strange situation: intimate photos suddenly appear on her computer, and she has no memory of them at all. That mystery sets the tone as you step in to help her uncover how those images got there and why she’s suffering from amnesia. The gameplay has you digging through disks, making phone calls, and running keyword searches to piece together the truth. It’s a mix of thriller and passion, with a sharp script, gorgeous hand-drawn art, and yes, some seriously hot animated h-scenes. Add in a handful of fun mini-games, and the whole thing feels lively and engaging. Visually, this game is a treat. Nikraria, the dev behind it, has a knack for unique and striking art, and the female character designs are simply stunning. Grace herself isn’t just eye candy: she’s well-written, with personality and depth that make her more than just a backdrop for the story. And of course, the h-scenes are varied, steamy, and beautifully animated, making them a real feast for the eyes. It’s one of those titles where you catch yourself thinking, “Wow, they really went all out on this”. About the gameplay, it’s surprisingly engaging. You’re not just c…

The story follows Grace, a woman who loses her memory and starts discovering photos, videos, and contacts from sexual encounters she doesn't remember at all. From there, you help her piece together what happened by checking old diskettes, calling people, using a retro-style search engine, and unlocking memories. What I really liked is the aesthetic choice: all that '90s tech (diskettes, CRT monitors, instant cameras, old-school search engines) gives the game a special charm and makes the whole experience super immersive. Investigating through the computer, checking files, calling characters, and searching for clues feels great; you really get the sense that you're rebuilding the story little by little. It's all very well executed and highly engaging. I was honestly surprised by how well the game is put together and how smoothly everything fits: the minigames, the narrative, the retro tone, and the idea of uncovering the truth through old technology. It's not just aesthetic; it's part of the mystery and the identity of the game.

This is an awesome adult visual novel, although I did hit a stalemate trying to find the secret Arkhamwanted profile... any suggestions?
