About START AGAIN: a prologue

✦ AI summary

You're trapped in a time loop as the only one who remembers, forced to hide your unraveling sanity while repeatedly fighting the same enemies and boss with your oblivious allies. This story-driven turn-based RPG explores the psychological toll of temporal entrapment through tactical combat, branching endings, and the painful gap between your knowledge and your friends' ignorance.

✦ TIMELOOP RPG IN STARS AND TIME'S PROTOTYPE. ✦

START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN: A PROLOGUE (or: START AGAIN: a prologue) is a story driven turn-based RPG where you, Siffrin, are stuck in a time loop for no reason you can find.

The country is frozen in time, and together with your allies you fought your way through the castle and fought the King to put an end to this curse… And you died and found yourself right back at the entrance. Again. And again. And again.

But you’re the only one who remembers it; your allies are none the wiser. And there’s no end in sight.

You're fine though! Hiding your knowledge from your friends is easy! Fighting the same enemies is easy! Dying to the same final boss over and over again is easy!

You have to make sure your friends don't find out about the super fun time travel times you're having though.

They can't know.

They can't.



FEATURES:
  • A story all about how time loops would affect someone and their relationship with their friends!
  • ATB based gameplay! Utilize rock-paper-scissors style weaknesses and strengths to tactically take down your foes!
  • Four "endings" depending on your choices (as in, as in, four different ways the battle against the final boss can go)! Including one True Ending!
  • 3-5 hour playtime!
  • Your friends having fun conversations about crabs while you're in the corner on the verge of a panic attack!



"HOW'S THIS RELATED TO SUPERCOOL INDIE RPG IN STARS AND TIME THOUGH?"

START AGAIN: a prologue is the first installment in the START AGAIN series, but this game is complete and you will not finish it feeling like you only read Chapter 1 of a 1000 page book! This prologue is more akin to a side story, a prototype for In Stars and Time, and stands completely on its own.

Also "prologue" is just a cool word.

For such a short amount of playtime it made me feel so much. I really felt Siffrin's pain. Many tears shed. I'll be playing In Stars and Time next and this has very much made me look forward to it.

Welp, I played this after like a year of having played In Stars and Time, and I must say the improvements are Severe, that being said, I absolutely loved this game, it was a fantastic experience, and it allowed me to get a peak on the ideas behind In stars and time, and I asume, one of its characters. In any case, this game is very short, but it is very much worth buying, I heavily recommend ISAT if you liked this experience, I for one Loved it
