Another Chance [v1.59] Download for PC/Mac/Linux

If you have ever wished you could go back to high school and fix your mistakes (but with the “experience” of an adult), Another Chance explores exactly that fantasy. Developed by TimeWizardStudios, this game stands out with its unique hand-drawn art style and complex RPG mechanics.

We tested version 1.59 to see if this time-travel adventure is worth the grind.

The Story: Reliving the Glory Days

The premise is a classic “loser gets a do-over.” You play as a 20-something guy going nowhere in life who is mysteriously sent back to his high school days.

• The Goal: Fix your past mistakes, improve your stats, and romance the girls you missed out on the first time.

• The Mystery: Beyond the romance, there is a sci-fi/mystery element hinted at regarding why you were sent back and what is happening behind the scenes at Newfall High.

• The Tone: The writing is witty and often funny, balancing high school drama with adult themes. It features a diverse cast of over 20 characters, from the “mean girl” Kate (a fan favorite) to the goth artist Jacklyn.

Gameplay: More Than Just a VN

Another Chance is not a linear visual novel; it’s a full-blown Sandbox RPG.

• Free Roam: You navigate the school and town map freely, managing time and energy.

• Quest System: The game relies heavily on quests involving item crafting and fetch tasks (e.g., combining a lollipop with a fork).

  • Critique: This is the most polarizing feature. Some players love the depth, while others find the “fetch quests” and constant backtracking tedious without a walkthrough.

• Stats & Skills: You must improve stats like Intelligence and Strength to unlock new dialogue options and scenes.

• Minigames: There are plenty of minigames (drinking, fighting, studying), though thankfully many are skippable if you prefer the story.

The QA-APK Verdict

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (3.8/5)

What We Loved

• Art Style: The hand-drawn aesthetic is unique and charming, separating it from the typical 3D render look of most AVNs.

• Character Variety: The girls are diverse and well-written. The “Femdom” route with Kate is widely praised as one of the best-written mean girl arcs in the genre.

• Complex Mechanics: For players who like “gamey” elements (crafting, stats, inventory), this offers way more depth than a standard click-through VN.

What Needs Work

• The Grind: The gameplay can feel like a chore. The constant need to find random items or wait for specific times of day can be frustrating. A walkthrough is almost mandatory.

• Gallery Issues: The gallery UI is clunky, making it hard to find specific unlocked scenes.

• Pacing: Some players feel the updates are slow and the story gets bogged down by the sheer number of side quests required to progress.

Final Word: Another Chance is a high-effort game that rewards patience. If you love RPGs with dating sim elements and don’t mind using a guide to navigate complex quests, the story and characters (especially Kate!) are well worth the time.

FAQ

Q: Is there an Android version?

• A: Officially, the developer lists Windows/Mac/Linux. However, many users play it on Android using JoiPlay. Performance may vary due to the complex RPG mechanics.

Q: Do I need a walkthrough?

• A: Yes. We highly recommend it. The item combination puzzles (like the “dead beaver” quest) are very specific and hard to guess on your own.
