This Time – New Version 2602 [ApocalypseToday]

Info:
A failed firefighter’s “fresh start” in the big city leaves him feeling not so fresh. After 5 years of drinking too much and not doing enough, his past comes back to find him. After being tasked with finding a missing friend, the discovery of a rather unusual stopwatch with the ability to stop time sends his life into chaos.

⚠ A Very Important Note Before You Play
I want to be completely transparent with you all: This is not a massive content expansion.
As the new developer, I only truly got the keys to the kingdom a few months ago. I have spent the majority of that time getting to grips with the code, understanding the characters, and performing extensive quality enhancements to ensure the game is stable.
Recommendation: Start a New Game While your old save files should work, I strongly recommend starting a fresh save. It has been three years, and this release serves as the bedrock for the game going forward. A fresh start ensures you see the rewritten flow, the visual upgrades, and the new systems working as intended. Plus, it’s the perfect way to refresh your memory before the next chapter begins!
(See the note on the Codex below for more reasons to restart!)

A Note on the Codex & Old Saves
If you decide to load a save from a previous version, the new Codex System will not work correctly.
If you start a new game: The Codex will function perfectly.
If you load an old save: The Codex may be buggy, however, once you transfer your save data to Part Two in the future, it will correct itself.
Minor Note: I didn’t want to delay the release any longer, so some Codex entries are currently missing images. These will be patched in very soon!
