by

The visual novel about saying goodbye comes to the Switch.

For the second time, “Once Again” was created by RB Wolf Games and initially released on PC through Steam, iOS via the App Store, and Android via Google Play in October of 2022. Now, Amata K.K. has announced a Nintendo Switch version of the game, which can be bought from the Nintendo eShop for $5.99.

Although Nintendo’s Switch is the only platform with an official release confirmed thus far, the recent classification ratings for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions in Taiwan could possibly indicate that additional adaptations for these platforms may be on their way soon.

If you could travel through time, who’s the first person you’d meet?

On a monotonous summer birthday, teenager Sia has a sudden wish and wakes up to find himself in an unrecognizable era, standing before a stranger who stirs within him a longing for companionship – a bond they ought to have formed earlier.

As they exchange photos, they begin to create a connection, reminiscing about moments they missed in their past, and the game’s protagonist is left pondering over the identity of this individual and the adventures that lie ahead for the seemingly fated pair.

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.

To date, only the Switch edition of Once Again has been formally confirmed for release. You can purchase this game through the Nintendo eShop for $5.99.
