About Once Again
Once Again is a story about parting.
One summer, a boy growing up crosses time and space to meet a certain person. The moment they meet, the boy’s summer turns into an unimaginable and mysterious summer.
Reclaim your life’s regrets in Once Again the most moving indie game of the summer, about a journey through time and space.
If you could cross time and space, who would you most like to meet?
In the usual boring summer, when the boy Natsu blows out the candles on his birthday cake, something unexpected happens. He crosses time and space and meets the person he has wished to see most in his life, but has never met. In that time-space, not only did Natsu meet “that person,” but “that person” taught him how to take pictures and capture lost time in the frame. Which “that person” made Natsu want to stay here the most? What was the process that Natsu and “that person” followed? Is “see you again” a promise to meet again, or does it mean that they will never see each other again? The ultimate meaning of this will only be known by participating in this journey.
