About Deadlocked in Time
Deadlocked in Time is a Ren'Py adult adventure by Neko-Hime, using 3D rendered and animated visuals. You play a boy whose life has turned bleak after leaving private school for public school. Classmates bully him, his grades suffer, and he often skips class. His closest ties are friends and a girlfriend who share his disinterest in school.
