Game Mechanics

Many of the standard Ren'Py interface items and mechanics have been changed in order to improve the experience and immersion in Deeper.

Rollback
Rollback has been disabled to force the player to consider their choices more carefully, however the game auto-saves each time the player makes a decision allowing the player the ability to "cheat" their way through if they so desire. The limit of 10 auto-saves has been applied

Game Time & Sleep
The game uses an hourly clock on a weekly calendar. Every interaction takes a certain amount of time, and some Events only take place at certain times in certain locations.

The player must sleep every day, for 6 hours, this be initiated any time between 11 pm and 3 am. If the player attempts to stay awake past 3 am they are automatically sent to bed.

Multiple branch story-line
Deeper is specifically designed so that you cannot experience 100% of the content in a single play-through as some of the story branches are wildly different.

Quest System
A quest system has been implemented but there are no plans to make this a reward based system. Quest objectives are purely there to remind the player of their current goals.
