This mod takes over 1 minute to load on a modern PC equipped with an SSD, because it's an absurdly long level.

The gameplay is high quality all the way through and the new mechanics are very cool and allow for some creative puzzles, but it's just too much of a good thing and by the end I was completely exhausted and skipped the last layer (red forest) as I already had more than enough pons.

This really should've been broken up into smaller stages with a hub. Still one of the best mods for the game though.

thank you so much for the nice comment!!! I'm glad you enjoyed the vibes of the map, which were a big focus for us. You can listen to the ost on youtube! https://youtu.be/sKZXwziByJI

i will be very very honest
this is THE BEST ahit mod ive ever played or seen
i installed it because i was like yeah its cool to see their story BUT NO THERE IS MORE?
the gameplay feels so fresh and new stuff fits the vanilla
i hate and love how emotional it made me! the vibe on the beggining is so chill? the music the town is so happy and alive with all the dwellers
but then it all just shits itself.
in a very very good way
iplease hell me i can listen to the soundtrach somewhere :steamhappy:

Such a well done mod from start to finish. One of the best I played. Would have been great in the real game and also love the backstory and ambiance. 10/10

loved the puzzles in this one; didn't skip a single one!
not being able to pick up the timepiece or seeing the storybooks was a little disappointing though... great mod nevertheless!!! :HatHealth:
(also, don't think I didn't love that secret outside layer 1's window <:)

this mod is quite the abomination in terms of load time. Unfortunate it didn't work for you
godamnsteemsux Dec 30, 2023 @ 6:20am 
This doesn't work. It just crashes my computer during the loading screen. I had to power-cycle it. I've never seen any other mod do this.
Werti100  [author] May 25, 2023 @ 4:18pm 
same 9 pages! This was originally proposed as the purple rift to snatcher and vanessa's story. Also sorry about the time piece
Selbi May 25, 2023 @ 3:54pm 
On that note, would the 9 book pages include anything original? Or are they just the same 9 pages from the original Vanessa timerift?
Selbi May 25, 2023 @ 3:53pm 
Time piece didn't spawn... I mean I technically beat it, but it feels underwhelming to close the level by exiting to the hub,
Ender Feb 24, 2023 @ 1:18pm 
The new color beam mechanic is brilliant, but the level goes on too long. I can't help but wonder if this would've benefited from being broken up into several levels instead of being a single purple time rift.

Great.
But it's way too huge as a rift map

Translation to what Alone said: The storyline is touching, and the map is fun and beautiful. It's just that some places are too difficult, it's rare to have a hard time playing, and you can't pass the customs without a little IQ. I hope it's more simpler

故事情节打动人心、地图好玩也好看。只是有的地方太难了,难得有点玩不下去,没点智商通关都过不去,希望再简单点一些

it does take a smidgen to load, and the end time piece does not spawn but the background story telling is amazing.
LBrett Oct 3, 2021 @ 4:26pm 
I didn't have a problem with loading but the time piece is still bugged sadly.

Any chance I can get the vanessa and prince models? I am looking to do a music video with them. With admiringly some of the map itself as it's perfect for the song i am working with. (will credit/link in the end result)
Werti100  [author] Apr 25, 2021 @ 10:55am 
ok
Jahargull Apr 25, 2021 @ 10:41am 
esta bastante rotillo colegas, cuando rompo la esfera ni sale nada, tengo todas las paginas del librito pero nada, no se puede terminar el nivel, una decepcion la verdad, por lo demas el mapa esta bastante chulo
Werti100  [author] Mar 22, 2021 @ 11:41am 
this mod is terrible with loading times, some people manage to load it and some don't, apologies!
I'd have to optimize the level to load better...
mizu Mar 22, 2021 @ 11:17am 
I cant load in, whenever i try playing it says A hat in time is not responding, does anybody know how to fix?
Kachopper9 Mar 18, 2021 @ 7:50pm 
The ball is there, the hourglass just doesn't show up after it's gone.
Werti100  [author] Mar 17, 2021 @ 8:05am 
must be bugged, there's supposed to be a time rift ball
Kachopper9 Mar 16, 2021 @ 8:51pm 
Is there not supposed to be a time piece at the end?
Rikikuchi G Jan 14, 2021 @ 4:44pm 
@Werti100 so its a concept?
Werti100  [author] Jan 14, 2021 @ 4:44pm 
ty mang. this is based on the tale of vanessa
Rikikuchi G Jan 14, 2021 @ 4:37pm 
@Werti100 u make one of the best mods!
Rikikuchi G Jan 14, 2021 @ 12:00pm 
@Werti100 is this a concept of the tale of queen vanessa characters?
Werti100  [author] Dec 19, 2020 @ 12:49pm 
ty!
wkknutson Dec 19, 2020 @ 12:30pm 
Wow..So nice.. Keep it up!:steamhappy:
8-BitBoy ;P Sep 27, 2020 @ 6:55am 
It has long loading time. Just wait... It will load.
Screaming Engineers Sep 4, 2020 @ 3:36pm 
I think I can run doom eternal better than this mod (this is a great mod worth the load please fix)
christinarrubio May 8, 2020 @ 1:29pm 
level keeps crashing ma game! u nuuuu
Kannali Apr 2, 2020 @ 6:03am 
i removed some other mods, but i still can't go in the level, no matter how many tries i take, it just freezes and crashes.
Waterwool Feb 22, 2020 @ 3:52am 
If you do make a new one that is better, please tell me.
Waterwool Feb 22, 2020 @ 3:50am 
I mean I don't have a gaming pc I have a hp laptop :GDNormal:
Waterwool Feb 21, 2020 @ 1:38pm 
Well one of the problems is I don't have a "dedicated gpu" and I don't know what it does or means.:summer2019city:
Werti100  [author] Feb 21, 2020 @ 12:57pm 
yeah sorry for the long load time, this mod has a lot of bad stuff in it that makes it load very slowly. this was back when we were still bad at asset creation. If we re-made the mod it'd be much more performent.
Waterwool Feb 21, 2020 @ 4:04am 
I had barely any mods and it just loads and when I click it say a hat in time is not responding.
Anti Feb 17, 2020 @ 4:53am 
It ended up loading (it just took a REALLY long time, probably around 20 minutes? to get into the level) and what I was able to play was really nice, but... When I got to the "shift the camera around to see multiple angles of a puzzle" thing it wouldn't let me, like. Leave the camera thing.
Werti100  [author] Feb 10, 2020 @ 12:46pm 
try uninstalling mods if you have many installed
Werti100  [author] Feb 10, 2020 @ 12:46pm 
it loads for me, dunno what's the problem
DudeTheNinja Feb 6, 2020 @ 2:22am 
Dang, this mod looks really cool, but sadly, as with others, the game freezes upon attempting to load this.
Eli Jan 27, 2020 @ 3:17pm 
this mod is awesome, though i dont know if there arent any time piece or if it glitched in the wall :/
Grampa Walker Jan 9, 2020 @ 8:25am 
So, unfortunately I'm in the same boat as Magikoopa, every time I try to load this level the game stops responding. I've waited upwards to twenty minutes to get this to open, and absolutely nothing. I don't know if this is on an individual basis, or not, but either way I feel this should be looked into given I've been hearing good things about this. I'd hate knowing something reportedly this good wasn't able to be played by more people.
magikoopaambassador Nov 29, 2019 @ 6:27pm 
I’m concerned with how come the level keeps crashing on boot.
VSVoidSpartan  [author] Nov 21, 2019 @ 9:44am 
To anyone concerned about the soundtrack being privated, don't worry. It's only temporary until this whole thing blows over.

If anything, I'm thinking of uploading the soundtrack to Soundcloud soon.
