Once More

Once More is a story-driven game about Felix, who makes a deal with Shifa, a reaper in the Great Library. The library’s books contain the worlds their authors imagined, and Shifa has trouble distinguishing fiction from reality. Felix must show her how romance in those fictional worlds differs from romance in real life. In return, she will let him add one book to the library: the diary of his late girlfriend, Mima.

Felix explores the lives of students at Lilia Matsumoto University and builds relationships through his choices. He hopes to find love and recover the happiness he lost, but whether he moves on or seeks the ending he has always wanted depends on the decisions you make. He can also trade his lifespan for all the knowledge in the universe.

Characters

Felix is subdued and unlucky, and his future depends on whether he can move on and meet the right people. Mima, his former girlfriend, was always smiling and had a great impact on his life. A tragedy separated them, and Felix makes his deal with Shifa in the hope of seeing Mima again if he cannot move on.

Shifa categorizes every text written throughout history in the Great Library. She tends to act like the main character of the last book she read, drawing on fiction as her only understanding of Felix’s world.

The other students include Yuria, who grew up playing piano and pushes people away despite being caring beneath her cold exterior; Cami, an upbeat film student motivated by her passion for film, who shines in front of the camera but prefers to stay behind it; and Nia, Felix’s game-making childhood friend. Nia jokes at Felix’s expense but becomes serious when something or someone matters to her. Her current AI project has left her overextended.

Story and features

The game includes multiple endings shaped by impactful choices, professional voice acting, and an original soundtrack composed by contemporary artists. It also features character art, backgrounds, GUI and CGs, along with a Music Room, CG and Background Viewers, and Scene Jumping.
