StashlyVN Review
Lost Times positions you as the gatekeeper of Secret Refuge, a shelter cut off from a hostile world. evelai's ongoing project frames your role less as passive storyteller and more as decision-maker: you choose which NPCs gain entry, which factions earn your trust, and which storylines unfold. The premise echoes survival management games, but filtered through a visual novel's dialogue and relationship systems.
Gameplay revolves around mission cycles, faction reputation, and character interactions. You'll manage an inventory system, earn currency (called Vex), and unlock new scenes and NPCs as you progress through four story parts. The web-based HTML5 implementation keeps the experience accessible without downloads, though performance depends on your browser. At version 0.45, the game includes 11 new adult scenes in Part 4 alone, plus animated content for characters like Harley, Riley, and Zara. Minigames and interactive moments (binocular observations, glory hole sequences) supplement the branching narrative, and you can skip to Part 3 if earlier content doesn't interest you.
The adult content is integrated into character arcs rather than isolated—intimate scenes with named characters feel earned through relationship progression. evelai balances anime-style erotic visuals with actual plot stakes: your choices about who enters the refuge have consequences for available romances, missions, and faction alliances. This isn't pure porn with a wrapper; the gatekeeper role creates genuine decision friction. The game respects player agency while delivering explicit content for those who want it.
