Explore a new world and meet a well-known stranger in this visual novel.
The visual novel about saying goodbye comes to the Switch.
Once Again, developed by RB Wolf Games, first launched for PC via Steam, iOS via App Store, and Android via Google Play in October of 2022. Amata K.K. now announced a Switch version of the game that can be purchased via Nintendo eShop for $5.99.
While so far only the launch for the Switch has officially been announced, the recent rating of versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in Taiwan might be a hint for more ports coming soon.
If you could travel through time, who’s the first person you’d meet?
During a boring summertime birthday, teenage boy Sia makes a wish and when he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in an unfamiliar time in front of an unfamiliar being that he feels like he wants to spend time with – time they should have had before.
Together, they start forming a bond through photos while recapturing the time they never had with each other, while the player is confronted with the question who this person could be and what journey awaits the star-crossed duo.
Once Again
The stylized visual novel features:
- Immersive interactive gameplay that lets you control Sia’s actions in simple, yet satisfying gameplay mechanics like scrubbing, writing, taking photos and more.
- A stunning illustrated art style that weaves the narrative and gameplay into a beautiful, nostalgic journey.
- Photography-inspired gameplay mechanics such as focus, exposure and more serve as the perfect introduction to a timeless art form.
While it is possible that other ports will also come, so far, only the Switch version of Once Again has been officially announced. The game is available via Nintendo eShop for $5.99.
