The Interim Domain
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
The world did not end with biblical brimstone and fire. Or with a bang. Or an asteroid smashing against the Earth. It came with a flash, and when that bright light faded, everything ceased to be.
The main character (of your own naming) awakens to find himself in the Interim, a realm that exists between the old world and the new. Before long, he runs across Mira, an Entede--a metaphysical being sent to aid him. From her, he learns that he's there to assist those who've yet to properly move on. As these lingering humans desperately hold onto memories of their former lives, he must help them come to terms with their existence, all the while learning about the reason for his own situation.

im looking true the points, but when Robin gets "released"the points are not added to the Qi points
so imo a thing to look into, prob a programming thing which got missed
Thank you for posting this game. I'd like to report two bugs that I caught. One is that the option to hang out with Kaitlin disappears right after you meet Woden. Also, even though you reject Anya as a lover, she has a line where she says that she and the MC had sex even though it never happened and you get an unwanted sex with her right away (titled Anya: Rockin the Bed). In any case, have a great day and grats on finishing yet another project!
a good way to end off the game <3 thank you ILSProductions for The Interim Domain such a great story ! cant wait to see what you come up with next or if this is the end of your adventure then it was worth every second of it ! hope to hear from you soon take care ! PS: always will have Now and Then as your top game ! :)
Is this game finally done or will there be another update ?
I think dev is still doing individual endings for all girls
thanks Buds for letting me know :)
希望加入中文
Found a bug, does the dev read this forum? Spoilers ahead:
There's a variable marisa_anita_met and even though in my save Marisa and Anita have swum in a pool together and gone to the beach together, it is set to no. I noticed in Kara's "zero" story an if and the dialog inside didn't happen. A cursory look through the code shows the variable is not set until Anita's story 12 runs. And that make no sense.
Will there be impreg?
That would make no sense in the context of the story.
Hey there. I am enjoying this game immensely. Thank you for such an original story and some great characters.
I have been playing this on a free website, but decided to download it here and flick the developer some money. i think it's only fair given how much I am enjoying it.
I do have an issue, though. I have tried to use my exported saves from the free website with the downloaded version, and I keep getting an error when I try to load the save. The game runs fine and I can start new and save and load those new games perfectly. The issue is with the saves from the free site.
I have used this method before with other games from the same site Itch and I have never had an issue. Is this something that can be fixed? Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this?
I assume you know this already, but your game is chock full of sequence breaks. This is most obvious in chapter dialogue that assumes you are at a certain place with different girls (e.g. referencing Mina being missing and I have to find her after I have already finished her story) when you have passed that, or haven't gotten there yet. Something to think about fixing in future versions. Maybe just don't allow the player to get past certain points until the next chapter happens, and other points they need to hit or the next chapter won't fire. Oh also, do you have a discord? Most developers do, but I haven't seen a link anywhere to anything.
Hy dear dev, will it contain Harem? Also I read the comments many are asking for all girl's storyline.
Also what about threesome & group H-scenes with MC & girl's? Will it be in game?
The game is a harem only in the sense that there are multiple LIs who the MC pursues and they don't seem to mind him doing other LIs. There are threesomes.
Mina's role in the story has ended, right, because I don't see any updates about her Or what?
mina the store girl, yeah you have to finish her story coz if you don't selene will do
I did it, there is no need for Celine's intervention 🙂😹
that's good bro
Thank you my brother
spoiler:
I hope there’s a way to bring Edd back to life; I want to know more about him and his struggles and he deserves more.
Sorry but I have a problem when I want to check out the selfies. I don't really understand but it went error when it was running a code. Yeah I don't really understand. What should I do
How do I get past the stage of the store girl? Will she remain unavailable for a period of time after having sex, or am I making a mistake in choosing, I don’t know?
I skipped the BJ and sex. After that, I could continue o
She disappears for a while. As long as you haven't seen her turn into a remnant, you should be okay
Update today or not?
Today's new update is correct
Hey man, love the game so far! Overall, what do you think the percentage is of completion? Just wondering how much is left before the story concludes. Thanks!
I'd say we're in the last quarter of the game. I'd expect based on the current status the final version to be around 0.28 and be done by around mid autumn next year, sans any bug fixes. Could be wrong though.
Excited and disappointed all at the same time. It's a very interesting story. Are you planning on making another game afterwards?
Also, I've notice the story events outpace the girls' events. I have plenty of events left but I'm at the end of the story so I can't continue. Is this by design?
Yes, and one of the bigger faults of the game as there's not enough time to go through all girls and all storylines. Pick 3 or 4 and stick with them or you will run out of time.
I'm not the dev.
nice update!!
Played a bit of this after "Now & Then" and really enjoyed it. At this point though I think I'd rather wait for the full release (however far away that may be) and enjoy it all at once. Great work and good luck ILSP!
regarding 0.19, the one public on patreon, with two small logic issues:
story_other.rpy:6627: this should be "if marisa_end_bad_seen == "no":", otherwise the text makes no sense
story_combo.rpy:18: the two conditions blocks separated by 'or' are identical. in my game the scene triggered but you should take a look at the long list of and-chained variables
very nice release, thank you!
Just to let anyone thinking of playing this know, you absolutely have to download the fan mod from f95zone. It allows you to go through all the girls' stories. Otherwise you arbitrarily have a limit on the number of actions you can take before the story advances; you cannot see this limit, and you will receive scenes which imply you've advanced with girls you haven't had time to visit. Until the dev fixes this, the mod is necessary.
:-( such a waste of potential after Now & Then :-(
A little harsh no? The concept is novel.
not harsh, just as it is.
It'd be better for you to shut up. if you don't like the concept of the game just leave, there's other people who enjoy the story.
Damn, how many accounts do you have?
all of them of course :D
The comment section is also kind of a review section, negative comments matter too lol
dm69 was kinda harsh, and didn't give us any sense of why he felt it was a waste of potential (all ears for this, btw if dm can help me decide whether or not to download), but it's not like complaining is against the rules
Your comment was a little out of pocket tho, which is where the dislikes are coming from. fwiw. I'd be surprised if a bunch of alts were involved
thank you for information .,l,.
Stick with it longer.
There a way to finish the character stories without getting the end of version scene? I want to see the rest of the story for the girls....
A couple of bugs/issues.
When you allow Mina to become a remnant, her icon still lingers in the selection menu allowing you to keep pursuing her in the convenience store. The same scene plays each time she is selected after turning. Though nothing happens in this scene, it still costs you the day and can be repeated over and over.
Also, during Marisa's intro she is named Allison more than a couple of times when talking to the MC.
Does this game have any connection with your other game? I noticed that there's that character from the clothing store in both games I liked it 😁
Thanks for the update. Even if this game is still free when it's finished, there is no way I am not paying you money for it!
thank you for the update! love the story line so far
Why is the MC not curious about the weird physics of the place? Go on top of the highest building, throw a stone up and see if it falls down again or up to the other down tacked on the sky?
Hi dev is possible a harem ending??
....they are dead.
There could be something , but this is a good ways off before ending content is locked in. There are plans for threesomes, but that's some time before we get into that.
ok i tryed it and must say that i did not expected so boring game from this dev...
if i will avoid cliches like stripper doesnt want be stripper and need be saved...or girl blackmailed by her sex tape, it is practicaly mix of short stories where u r forced to constantly hearing about other problems practicaly all time in game. after some time it started to be annoing.
After all if your will power is not decreased to zero by playing and hearing others bitching about their life, u will realize that u r hearing all that only to get rid of girls cause, well world ended and they r there only cause they need move out.
Little lost on 2 scenes in the gallery. Scene No 4 and 8 (both on the right side of the gallery) is locked and don't know how to unlock it. Anyone has the solution?
Great game btw, ILS. Loving the story.
4 is Tina in the bathhouse and 8 is Marisa going back to her apartment after going to the bar. If you mean the far right of the gallery, with 5/10, that's two scenes for Mina if you avoid her bad ending.
There is a walkthrough you can check that's regularly updated on our Patreon.
Sorry, I mean scenes 5 and 10. Thank you
I see, so as long as you think with your pants, you can proceed with Mina's scenes.
Can I assume the next update will be 1.0 and be the full game? AVNs don't always follow the normal game genre system....
No, the next update will be 0.10.0. Much like Now & Then, this will have 24+ content releases.
Thank you for the info. Merry Xmas and a prosperous new year! Thanks for all the hard work! Now and Then is a fantastic AVN, by the way!
enjoyed now and then, but this one looks like no "room mate" "landlady" content or am i wrong?
There is no "roommate" / "landlady" stuff in this one. There will be some unexpected "step-/ half-family" stuff later.
ok, will play later than, thank u for answer.
Would love to see more Elsewhere scenes, showing the weird bits of the world - not for plot reasons but just to experience more snippets of the strangeness.
It's always funny to me to see what parts of the game people like. The Elsewhere parts were meant to give players content if they didn't want to play one girl in particular. We add a new one with every release. I may see about sneaking a few smaller ones in as we go.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i really like this vn game and the other one that you made ILS ( now and then )
love the story line so far.. 💙
any femdom in this game and character name, please?
or dominating personality female character name
Great story!!👍🏻👍🏻😉😉😉😉👍🏻👍🏻😉
Just played through the whole game in one sitting, can't wait for more XD
You're doing it again, ILS! A strong. engaging plot with characters and relationships which feel real. No 2D stereotypes to be found here, and no boring mc. Just as in Now & Then, the mc and his story are central to the narrative, making the game so much more enjoyable by giving it real meaning. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
However, I was moved to leave a comment because there are two glaring issues that I think need to be addressed. The first is that you can't complete all the girls' events in one run! Obviously the player will want to see all the events - they are central to the game - and obviously you want the player to, so why would you prevent that? It's not like you are expected to do an X run and then a Y run for each girl or ending, like in Now & Then. On the contrary, the dialogue seems to expect you to progress with all of the girls! For example, the mc was talking about visiting Roe's home even though I hadn't had "time" to do so. After reaching the end of the update and realising I had been forced to miss a number of events, I had to load up a previous save to play them, in which I hoped I was far enough back that I still had "time" to do them all. But this didn't feel "canon", because in my head the mc would of course progress them all. Please consider rectifying this.
Secondly, the mc is again cracking awful jokes and references during the sex scenes. This was easily the worst part of Now & Then, which was otherwise a brilliant game. Jokes during sex are almost always a turnoff; they pull you out of the mood, and I find myself trying to quickly skip through them so I can enjoy the scenes. There aren't many sex scenes yet, so this would be a great time to change the writing here.
what do u mean each girl ending? u literaly are there to get rid of them :D ending is that they will move out or fade no romance there for MC :D
