Once Again

Once Again is a simple yet engaging casual game. After dying, the protagonist unexpectedly travels back in time by a year, gaining a mysterious power in the process. Will you wield this ability to indulge in a blissful life—triggering a chain of "butterfly effects"—or will you exercise restraint to minimize your impact on the world? Your choices will steer the story in different directions. In the town, you will encounter various beautiful women, each with a unique personality; by building rapport, you can go on dates, trigger specific storylines, and unlock intimate scenes as you learn their personal tales. However, as the game progresses, the cumulative impact of your actions will place an immense strain on the world. Ultimately, will you succeed in saving both the town and the world?

Hey Loopers! Apologize for being so late on the devlogs, things have just been happening at such a sparse rate that its felt hard to truly come out with a devlog of any kind. However, we've made decent progress, so I'm here to share with you all! (Also I'm writing this while sick so be warned, my head is messed uppppp)

In terms of art, we've managed to get 3 or 4 scenes done since the last devlog I did- I really can't remember when I last did the devlog right now haha. Krash has been pretty absent from home due to work, so he doesn't have 2 of the scenes that he finished available for me to post, however I have 2 from Farmer- a Haru and Harper scene. I said it somrwhere else, but futa/trans fans- you're gonna be very happy with this next update!

When it comes to writing, almost every one of MY scenes is done- I'm not sure about Krash. I have to finish one optional scene and then be on to, IMO, the most important scene in the history of the game. For those wondering- YES, this scene will involve Winter, and will begin her true inclusion into the game. I hope you guys are as excited for this as I am!

I apologize, Once Again, for all the waiting you guys have had to do for this update. It was supposed to be a smaller update and somehow will probably take us just as long as last update. There's been so many disruptions but I promise you guys will be happy with the next update and more. You guys keep me going. Thanks for the support, Loopers!

Player Comments of Once Again:

Super underrated game. Good story, beautiful LI's, decent writing, high quality renders, good animations, cool MC. This game is the full package. It's definetly S tier. I recommend everyone tries it out.

4.5stars but rounding down in this instance. Characters are well written, plot isnt anything unique but executed well. There are just way too many characters. Chapter 1 and theres already over a dozen LIs, its just far too many and it results in most of the characters not having a lot of screen time. Overall it seems a little too ambitious, and I dont see a viable path to finishing both the story and the character routes.

Good stuff! Love how the characters are showcased! Looking forward to seeing more of your guys story! Great character design as well. All the women are beautiful. Trying to write a review is like writing an essay lol I can see why rating and views on games has such a massive difference. I wish you all the best of luck!

An interesting story. Funny dialogs. The pacing is good, only a few times there's a bit too much clicking.Some of the models are not attractive. E.g. Haru: long nose on a face like from a fantasy, hair of dirty crimson color, greenish skin, bad quality renders (her face is often grainy in the cafe /Prologue/)... She might be a nice kawaii personality, but I don't like her looks. Faye has greenish skin too, at least in the Prologue. Are they lizards or something?.. Other models, like Summer, are pretty, but she often had displeased facial expression which doesn't look good (Not "You're kinda cute when you're angry" at all).Erotic scenes are short and not all that sexy, e.g. the first one (with Cleo). And I'd say the 2nd one too (with Elara - seems too short and unimpressive).

Final Thoughts:

Will you embrace your power recklessly or tread carefully to preserve the fabric of reality? Your journey will test your resolve and impact the fate of those around you, including a pivotal character whose destiny hangs in the balance.
