Lost Time Sorrow

August 15th. Outside, the summer heat haze hums over the streets. For Shintaro Kisaragi, time stopped two years ago. While the world outside carries on, the 18-year-old shut-in spends his days staring at blank walls and his nights desperately trying to sleep. Despite knowing nothing can wash away the guilt, he still decides to confide in his dreams. There, if only for a while, he can forget. ...But how long can you outrun what you can't undo?

A Kagerou Project fangame based on the events of Route XX of Lost Time Memory. Kagerou Project was created by Jin (Shizen no Teki-p).

(cw: suicide/self-harm, mental breakdown,  grief, abuse, strong language)

NOTE: This game is best enjoyed if you have already experienced Kagerou Project, but it is not mandatory.  You may be a bit confused, though.

Please do not expect too much. As much as I love this series, my subpar skills (I barely know how to draw!) may not do Route XX justice. Still, I'll do the best that I can, so I hope you continue supporting me.

I also didn't get to implement everything I wanted to this time (ene sprite, my own CGs, UI for everything) so I may update this in the future.

Happy August 15th to you all. Let there be many more to come.
