Same Time Next Tuesday
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Same Time Next Tuesday follows Joe, a sleazy mechanic in the process of working out his issues and becoming a better man, recounting an incident that shakes up his life to his therapist, Horacio.
The story jumps back and forth between discussions in Horacio's office, which examine and develop Joe and his hangups, and flashbacks that showcase Joe's recounting of events, occasionally interrupted by the pair to give commentary as literal talking heads.
The office scenes use a blend of 2D character sprites and a 3D-rendered background, with camera movement and sprite animations adding visual interest, while the flashback scenes are seen in first person from Joe's point of view, with plenty of stylistic flair to sell the motion comic look.
Same Time Next Tuesday is split in three therapy sessions, with Joe updating Horacio on the events as they play out, plus a 10-15 minute long excerpt from one of Joe's sessions before the start of the story (dubbed session 0), which establishes Joe's goals in therapy and recaps events of the previous comics to put newcomers up to speed.
Speaking of which...
Same Time Next Tuesday is a spin-off of the comic Boomer's Big Date and its sequels, which you can read by clicking on the comics below (arranged in chronological order). I recommend doing so before reading STNT (although sesion 0 acts as a serviceable introduction).

I'm in awe of this excellent VN. The 3D presentation of the therapy session alone is seriously impressive. I love it!
What a tremendously done VN! Such well-made details, behavior, animation, and a very interesting story. I went through the 2 available stories and, although I got through them quickly (anxious mind), it was so delicious I didn't even see time pass! Very very impressive.
Gotta support you on Patreon soon. Also, if you need help on translation to PT-BR, I'll be glad to help on it.
Honestly the presentation is top-notch, I didn't even know it was possible to do 3D environments in Ren'Py. (If it's not a native Ren'Py feature that's doubly impressive). Really good, love the down-to-earth writing here
Hay español?
Me está encantando está VN más de lo que pensaba, el arte de los escenarios, el dinamismo que tienen los personajes que se sienten vivos, la música, los movimientos de camara, todo me encanta.
I really love the your stories. Boomer, Miles and everyone are great and fun characters. I can't wait to see more of your work. 😊
Ay tengo muchísimas ganas de ver a Bommer y a Miles jejejej los amo, OwO.
0.2.2?
0.3.1 very soon
is there sex scenes?
There will be one in 0.4.0!
I really like it... I've been following your stories since a few years ago and it is great to have this actualization. Please keep doin'!!
I have to say i like your comics, and your art style in general, but- I'm at a loss for words with this VN, as far as I'm aware this is your first time doing something like this, but it just... immaculate, I've seen VN's that have been in the works for years that are less refined then this. from what I've seen so far, you've truly utilized the unique aspects of telling a story through a game engine like renplay while keeping the charms of comic book story telling. This is just... amazing, I can't wait to see more, this VN and otherwise.
I do remember reading the comics long ago and twitter.
Just when I started to read visual novels every night before sleep.
id say im surprised you made a game but im even more surprised its not strip poker based off your last comic
Huh. Now how didn't I think of that?
idk but its a great idea, any idea involving large guys undressing is a great idea to me tho
A poker hand evaluator that works with real random cards would be a deep loop in ren’py. But I am an old hand at logic, if you’re really interested in coding that I can put in my two bits. Heh.
Wait, Nanoff your back 🤣
Very nicely done so far. For just a prologue it was engaging and as some who enjoys your comics and stories it was a nice refresh of the past that lead to this point as well as the newer things that were brought up!
I'm a simp for character development so a therapist office already has me eager for more. I look forward to seeing what more you do with the story and helping this poor pig out!
Oooo it’s 3D. I wasn’t sure this was possible in ren’py. Such nice sounds too. This is some nice work.
And it runs well and isn’t full of stinky bugs and shaders and you went after the Chinese market I’m coming blahhhhh
This is so well done, even the main menu is just beautiful, the attention to every detail shows, I'm having a blast playing this, just got 10 seconds of the game and had to minimize it to write here, thanks for the hard work everyone, it really shows, love you all 💕
The game has been out for only an hour and I really enjoy this first build!
I remember reading all of the comics a few years back, and the summary of events from a different pov made them feel refreshing. I really enjoy the animations and 3D perspective, which I know must've taken a lot of work to write script for and you hard work stand out among the other vns I've read so far! Can't wait for the next release
