The remake of the original Doki Doki Shattered Time and our most ambitious mod as of right now. A while back, my former coder and I were playing through the original Shattered Time, Captive Heart, and that third mod we don't talk about. I felt all three could have been done so much better, so the Dangerous Love Trilogy was started. However, time passed and things came up such as said former coder leaving the team with some rather hurtful parting words, losing all our progress when he took it with him and didn't allow us to have access to it anymore, or the passing of the girl who inspired Akane putting me in a depression I'm still recovering from...
While the Dangerous Love Trilogy was partially cancelled, two of the remakes were going to be started over and made as stand-alone projects. Shattered Time is the genesis of the Perfect World Anthology, so for sure, this mod had to be done right and given the proper treatment it deserved.
Much like the original story, it all starts with a loaded question Natsuki asks at the very beginning, followed by the revelation that she died the previous night. MC, who is struggling with the ghosts of his past, convinces himself that Natsuki's death doesn't mean anything to him. That all changes when Amy, one of Natsuki's friends, asks him for a favor: Go into the past, uncover the truth behind Natsuki's death, and save her from meeting a terrible fate. After some persuasion from Amy, MC embarks on a journey through time to not only figure out how to save Natsuki, but also grapple with his past and the ghosts that continue to haunt him.
In performing the ritual, MC has formed a pact with the wicked Terankos, who has the power to reset time should you go to him with a simple wish, but only once. MC realizes the hard way that he's gotten himself in over his head and that, despite walking a lonely road ever since losing someone special to him, he can't do things alone. Terankos is always watching, however, and MC cannot disobey or betray him without facing some dire consequences.
This mod is significantly longer than the original Shattered Time and expands the story into something greater. Gone are the multiple endings and choices, but in their place, is a longer story that pays tribute to the original while putting a new spin on things. This mod also takes a lot of music from past mods, further paying tribute to what came before it. Since this mod is literally the foundation of the Perfect World Anthology, we felt like we had to go all out on it as much as we could.
Lastly, one thing I'll mention is that a while back, someone compared the original Shattered Time to another mod with a sort of... infamous reputation, saying it was like a watered-down version of this mod. I kind of took this as a bit of a challenge when writing STR. Considering I lost the script for the original (although I have actually since found it as of 3 nights ago, so it's not lost anymore!), I started from the ground up and looked at how the original was structured. Then I studied what that mod did, what I liked, what I didn't like (which there was a lot of), and how I can pay tribute to the initial idea while also re-inventing it into something larger. The original ST, while I like the premise of the tragic love story, I felt had a lot left to be desired and was kind of bare bones. That is no longer the case here and honestly? This mod blows the original out of the water.
I hope you like it as much as we enjoyed creating it. After 2 years of delays, this mod is finally going to see the light of day as I hoped it would.
