Hi everyone. I just wanted you all to know that we're releasing a major update to Timecrest tomorrow, April 25, 2023.
We’ve rewritten Timecrest 1: Fated Connections entirely to bring it up to the level of adventure, mystery, and emotion that it has always deserved. With this update, we deepened the story and characters to the level of what we always imagined and wished they could be. There will also be some new Easter eggs since it’s the season. Lastly, we kept the structure the same so it will not affect the comprehension of future story for those that have completed their journey.
But for those who choose to take the journey again, a familiar, yet fresh new adventure awaits you.
This update adds around 120,000 new words. This brings Timecrest up to a whopping total of over 640,000 words. Timecrest 2: The Door also gets a fresh coat of paint as we’ve adjusted many scenes to match. This is also our biggest app update ever with over 50 new features and bug fixes, as well as adding animations and accessibility improvements for all to enjoy.
Ash opens the pocket watch, filled with hope. Will you respond?

Looking forward to it
I’m already after the trials, so I’m guessing I’m gonna miss out?
@Dominic Timecrest is…
@Dominic Timecrest is designed to maximum replayability. We encourage you to enjoy playing through the end of Timecrest 3 to experience the rest of the story. Once you're done, feel free to start a new game and you'll get to keep most of the items you earned throughout Timecrest, and you'll be able to experience the rewrite at that time, and explore new story and different paths from what you tried before!
I’ve already done part three
Next time, I’m choosing scarlet instead of loofah, I think… But I can’t wait for this rewrite.
I think I’m on chapter 7 or chapter 8, I’m up to the part where we choose where to go after she or he, I don’t know, let’s just say, after Ashae gives me the map
Timecrest rewrite has been released.
We wanted to announce that the update is now available in the app store!
This is our biggest app update ever with over 50 new features and bug fixes, as well as accessibility improvements for all to enjoy.
Here is a list of some of the accessibility focused-changed we've made to this update:
VoiceOver Changes and Fixes
- The Messages UI will now no longer scroll under the header and footer. It was confusing when the VoiceOver cursor could move under those UI elements.
- Made references to Red Message and Blue Message more consistent across the game.
- Improved accessibility labels for the last responded option.
- Fixed bug where sometimes a blank line would be autocaptioned as “outdoors.”
- Completely reworked “Music Follows Cursor” to be smoother and less buggy.
- Added descriptive labels to header images.
- Fixed a bug where the year would not display in the Memory Oracle.
- Removed the announcement on how much gold you have when gold changes, as it intrusive. Added text stating your remaining gold when performing actions.
- Collecting from Morty now automatically closes the screen.
- Changed “Suppress Ellipses” feature. Instead of replacing ellipses with dots, now it adds commas to simulate the character pause.
- Updated outdated text in descriptive help.
- Fixed a bug where ALRA Machines would not update after purchase/vend.
- Fixed a bug where highlighting the busy timer with the VoiceOver cursor right at zero seconds will announce the wrong timer.
- Fixed a bug where responses would sometimes say “dimmed.”
- Fixed a bug where purchasing one-time welcome pack would not update the accessibility label.
- Added Bunarfs to pronunciation mode dictionary.
