What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Immerse yourself in the unfolding saga of Having a HARD Time, an episodic visual novel currently in active development. With each episode, you'll delve deeper into the narrative, witness characters evolve, experience the repercussions of your choices, and enjoy erotic animated scenes featuring your favorite characters.

Crafted as a passion project by a sole developer (Quadruple-Q), this game is a labor of love. Achieving the desired level of rich content and quality demands time. However, each standalone episode already provides a satisfying experience within the Early Access phase.

As a valuable player, your feedback and excitement hold the power to shape the game's destiny. Join us on this exciting journey and help mold the future of Having a HARD Time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will remain in Early Access until the story reaches a gratifying conclusion. That is to say, it will not be rushed nor abandoned. A full episode takes around 6 months of development time. Currently, the full game is projected to contain a total of 8-10 episodes, which means that the full game is roughly estimated to be available by 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to contain a fully fleshed out narrative, incorporating numerous branching paths and diverse endings, each accompanied by a fitting epilogue. Additionally, the gallery is planned to be filled with a lot of lewd scenes that can be easily revisited.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current early access version contains the full first 4 episodes. Together, this version has over 6800 images, 248 animations, 171 songs and 37 achievements, with much more to come.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During the early access phase, the price will be set lower to align with the current content volume and to express gratitude towards our initial players. Following the game's completion, the price will be adjusted upward, reflecting the substantial content it will then encompass.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“All feedback and discussion is welcome, both here on Steam and in the official Discord server.”

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game graphically depicts sex, alcohol consumption and violence, including themes of incest, non-consensual sex and futanari content. The story covers mature and difficult topics, and is therefore not intended for players in a dark period of their lives. If you are easily offended, or just looking for a fun game only, this game is not for you.
