Looking back is a choose your own adventure / braching novel that has been buzzing in my head for way too long. Finally, I was able to commit it to the page, the digital page that is. It's about Derek Danielson: party animal and casanova. A carefree, fun-loving, quantity-over-quality kind of guy. The kind of guy who is always in his twenties, until he is not.
Derek is now trapped between a messy and expensive divorce, an estranged son, and a job he hates but can't give up. He has by now surrendered to the fact that life has nothing left to offer him and he is now shambling on because that is all he knows. Until two mysterious women drop into his life determined to prove him wrong.
Looking Back is my personal spin on the Young Again genre, with a heavy focus on romance, deep heartfelt relationships, and hot steamy sex. There are three main mutually exclusive love interests, each very different from the others. It is a mostly linear experience, but there are several choices, some are insignificant but most are not. There are three endings, each with a significant variation, plus one secret and relatively well-hidden ending.
Last but not least: this is not a demo, not a season one, not the first chapter of a trilogy. This is a full story readable and playable from beginning to end.

v1.1 Final
Corrected 199 typos. Hopefully, that's all of them. I also made a slight correction in style, taking out several LModE expressions and rewrote them in PDE. This should give the game a more natural feel.

v1.0 Final
The game is fully finished. You may still stumble unto some typos and grammatical errors but no game-breaking bugs. It is (not counting minor variations of the same scenes) 258091 words long.

Short, sweet and complete. Many games on this site is one of them, some some of them and very few all of them, especially the third one. It really hurts to see this game having so few reviews so I'm making this my first one in this site. This is a text only game, well written and good plot to smut ratio. There are 3 main partners to choose from, each route is distinctive and targets different kinks so one will certainly fit the bill for you (I loved all of them). You can also act as a normal person or a filthy anime mc which determines the scene availability from the other 2 women. There are some typos in the later chapters, but once you're locked in it wont matter. All in all, if you are a: 1)text based fan, this is a must read. 2)text + image/clip enjoyer, you must try this. 3)others, you should give this a try, it may expand your horizons.

Man, it is a shame this game has so little reviews. I love text based games. Sadly most try to add real porn and in my opinion this never works. If I play text games I need text. This game is amazing. It is funny but also feels really real. I played the Sarah path and man it was amazing and really hot but also hard feels. Thanks for making this game.

Complete. Well Written. Serious execution of plot with some humerous or playful momments. No gameplay and no grinding. More of a story first game rather than seduce all the girls type of game or a click who to bang then next day choose who to bang again type of game. Good english. Review written while playing up to chapter 5 I really enjoy text based games that are story focused and well written or rather games where I feel like a writer takes their plot seriously and spends time telling the specifics of the plot and the events along with the actions of the characters. If you enjoy those types of porn games then I am happy to report that I felt that this was the case with this game. 40 something fat divorced club bouncer meets two women and gives him a restart at life Spoiler: spoilers Two Succubi that transport him to his younger body tasked with the job of seducing girls or finding love in order to be used for their purposes Characters actually feel like characters with their own opinions and thoughts and have some agency such as Spoiler: spoiler mc being mentally 40 refuses to sleep with highschoolers despite player choice . As of ver 1.0 there are some typos

Well written and, more importantly, complete. That puts it easily in the top 10% of adult games because most are shameless cash grabs that will reach completion or get some disappointing rushed ending when dev is called out. Fully text based, but excellent vocabulary and vivid imagery. In short, a well written gem, for people who love reading.

I think I'm in love now, Wonderful well written story. I only read the April path and that was great. Only reason i can't give this the full 5 stars is because there are some odd sentences here and there but not so many its distracting.

Excellent game even without images. The different routes are very well written with interesting and unique love interests. The main character is consistent across the different routes. The sex scenes are well written and each route hits a different kink archetype.
