Once More

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34294631/] Follow Far2close - Visual Novel Playthroughs Curator Page [/url] Once More Developer: Malheur Games Publisher: Malheur Games [b]Pros:[/b] [b]1.[/b] I found the plot to be quite interesting utilizing the memories of Mima holding back Felix and how with the Library of Alexandria being a stepping stone in order for Felix to move on. Just the way it handles grief, depression, and how to get out of it is done well. Both endings handle it properly with the good ending going with [spoiler] Felix being happy that he can start with Nia and he can put Mima to rest, even if will be a challenge during the relationship. The same goes for the bad ending when Felix can't properly move on and the surrogate being extremely similar to Mima, eventually driving Felix to the deep end. [/spoiler] [b]2.[/b] The characters are great even with the supporting characters such as Shifa and Mr. Merganser being extremely important in Felix's development. Without Shifa, he would not have the driving force to move on, without Mr. Merganser, he would not have developed a better understanding with Cami. Nia's character is that usual childhood friend theme, but it also makes her a well written character involving not only her insecurities but also Kavy's worries towards both Nia and Felix. [b]3.[/b] The design is cute with each character possessing such fine details that make them stand out such Mr. Jital's cultural attire and upbeat attitude, Felix's mundane look on life and maintaining an appearance that doesn't stand out, and Nia's hyperactivity regarding programming or video games. The voice acting is also great to hear, all the actors and actresses did a fantastic job. The kid screaming in the counseling room? Fabulous. Kavy's unpredictability and pure feelings during her explanation? Excellent. I truly enjoyed the voice acting. [b]4.[/b] I like the music, the music does help an extensive amount in setting the tone of the scenes whether it be Tsuzurarenai Kotoba fitting the wonders of the Library of Alexandria, Sad Event to a somber moment of Felix chatting with Nia, and Ethereal Horizon for a rising conflict that may lead to a broken friendship. [b]Cons:[/b] [b]1.[/b] The good ending for Nia is a nice end, but it does lack the resolution where it doesn't show much of The Library of Alexandria after you've [spoiler] gotten in a relationship with Nia [/spoiler] there just isn't much regarding Shifa or Boss' reaction, or a proper final action with these two characters. [b]2.[/b] It would be beneficial to have individual volume sliders for each voiced character, in case you dislike a character's voice, you can disable it but keep it for the others. For my situation, AI's voice is cool for the first few times, but as it keeps going it does get tiring and annoying to listen to, prompting me to read her sections as fast as possible. [b]Conclusion:[/b] Even though it is not fully finished, Once More is definitely a promising story surrounding grief and moving on. It possesses great characters and fantastic voice acting, with some hiccups here and there. [b]Score:[/b] 8/10 GREAT + EARLY ACCESS

[h1] <-- Review written for [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752/] 3 Point Play [/url] --> [/h1] "Write the ending you've always deserved in life" Once More is a western VN featuring high quality assets, professional voice acting (in english) and a pretty unique story. I feel like I'm using the word "unique" a lot lately in my reviews, so let's expand a bit on what does "unique" means for Once More's story: [list] [*] It features a blonde reaper as a potential love interest. [*] The bear guy from Full Metal Panic Fumoffu (and Amagi Brilliant Park) is a character and he runs a library. [*] It features a library. [/list] I'm not sure how much could I explain about the story without spoiling it. But you're bound to find out about this like 15 min into the game, so, the argument is based on our main character no-clipping into the Library of Alexandria, a place in which there are (obviously) a lot of books (yet they're not scrolls but actual modern-day books as we know them today) which allow their reader to experience something based on their contents... in exchange for the pleasure, you'll be paying with time of your life based on the amount of time you've experienced in the book (and time, for that matter, is freezed outside of the boundaries of the library, so it is something like that planet in Interstellar: 1 week spent in the book can mean like 1 hour in the real world, yet you'll lose 1 week of your total lifespan in order for you to not be able to reach inmortality by book-hopping) Overall, it's a pretty interesting concept. Feels pretty much like real life after all: We do spend a lot of time in other worlds as our lifespan runs out by an equal value; a wise man once said: "The most important thing in life is to spend as much time in your computer as you can, as you'll have no access to it once you're dead". Going back to the story, the main character is tasked with developing a relationship with a potential love interest, and to write about it, so the library can have once and for all, an authentic love story. All of this while the main character deals with the ghost of his ex-girlfriend and school life. Pretty hard if you ask me. As for my own thoughts, I reckon it's a pretty nice VN, it has a lot of potential, and the english voice acting kinda makes it stand out... don't get me wrong, I'm a massive weeb and I love japanese voice acting, but it feels great to listen to something you can actually understand while you're reading, if anything, it's a valious resource to us english-as-a-second-language speakers as it helps with listening comprehension. I'm working through Cami's route, the photographer girl, but I found out (by reading the Early Access info) that it is actually not complete yet. Only Nia's route is finished at the time being. She's cute as well, but Cami appeals a bit more to me, specially considering the little sub-plot the author introduced related to her, which reminds me once more to never take anyone for granted, be them either a fictional or a real person. I recommend you pick it up if your favorite character archetype is a nerdy girl, you know, the kind of pastel nerd (an e-girl?) archetype that's pretty popular nowadays. She's also a programmer, and loves playing videogames. And she's also the MC's childhood friend. They really went all out with her! But if you're more interested in the blonde reaper, the photographer/filmmaker girl or the piano tsundere girl, you'd probably want to wait a bit more until more updates arrive. Or not, after all, getting involved with the project can surely help the devs keep working on the overall development, and you'll see new stuff for your favorite girl soon enough. As a side note, I'd recommend they investigate libraries a bit more hehe, bit of a pet peeve of mine (since I'm a librarianship student) but libraries do actually have electronic supports and PCs and the like. Libraries are a constantly-growing organism.

The story was filled with twists and turn hyping up player till the end of each route, during the time i played this it made me question if i took the bad end or good end which was both exciting and stressful. The visuals, script writing and ost were beautifully made its suites the characters and scenes, my only complain is that some times the music overlaps with each scene if you play next part a bit to fast. Also as off posting this review ( April 26, 2024) the Yuria route is a bit bugged some text lines are doubled or missing some words and letters. Some of the characters also mysteriously disappear if you load a save file. Over all i love the rich story would recommend a play thru <3.
