Lost Times v0.27 - Free Edition [Parts 1-3]

Lost Times positions you as the last line of defense for Secret Refuge, a shelter struggling to survive in a hostile world. evelai's approach fuses survival strategy with visual novel pacing: you'll evaluate refugees at the gate, decide who gains entry, complete faction missions, and build relationships with NPCs—each choice rippling through the shelter's fragile ecosystem. It's less about binary good/evil and more about managing competing interests and the moral weight of scarcity.

Gameplay rotates between three overlapping systems. The gatekeeper section tasks you with inspecting arrivals and managing your roster of workers and bonuses. Faction missions populate the broader narrative, pushing you toward alliances that shape the story's trajectory. A relationship system tracks your standing with side characters, unlocking adult request events as intimacy deepens. v0.27 added a gallery system (handy for reviewing scenes), four minigames to break up dialogue, and 20 new NPCs to flesh out the shelter's roster. The pacing supports extended play—this is a progression title, not a sprint.

evelai integrates adult content as relationship payoff rather than spectacle. Unlockable intimate scenes animate for key characters (Zara, Ivara, the Maid, Harley) once you've invested in their storylines, and the body inspection mechanic adds a layer of consent-aware interaction. The tone stays grounded: sexuality emerges from character arcs, not arbitrary encounters. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android—useful if you prefer handheld progress. Be aware this is an active project; v0.27 is current but not final, so expect iteration on balance and bugs typical of ongoing development.
