About Winter's Symphonies
The winter never fails to bring surprises... haven't you noticed, Sophie?
"You once uttered these words with such sincerity―it pains me to admit that I really hadn't. Looking back, though... winter's symphonies certainly carry many connotations to me. The nasty surprises. And all the wonderful things along the way, too; with you, Charles, and Jenny by my side. My past goal of paving a road for myself, tainted by ghosts of the past lurking in the dark... those sure were the days."
A regretful past, a confusing present, and an unclear future. After shutting the door to a life many would envy, the protagonist of the story, Sophie, returns to her one and only hometown. The town is just as she remembers it. She, however, is not. She can't help seeing herself as empty―as empty as the barren trees around her. One calling abandoned, with no clear path ahead: what is her true purpose in life, now that time has faded the malicious spell of vanity? Furthermore, how will she deal with crippling regret and guilt she carries?
When the wonderful symphonies of winter season sound over the city – as they do every year – will the powers of supposed miracle "fate" steer her life in a predetermined manner?

Before staring Winter’s Symphonies I was very curious about the story it has to tell. This game looked simply gorgeous to me and since I am a huge fan of Visual Novels, due to their storytelling, I was very eager to find out more about Sophie’s story. Sophie returns to her hometown after leaving a lot of things behind. She just desires a quiet and peaceful life after everything that happened. One day she meets an old friend on the train. Later on, he even moves into her house. Although she doesn’t want him to find out about her past it’s unavoidable. Both of them are starting to get closer and figuring out their dreams. I have to admit, I expected Winter’s Symphonies to be another light-hearted Visual Novel with a touch of dramatic moments, yet this game managed to totally threw me off by its unexpected events. Although Winter’s Symphonies does contain a few light-hearted scenes, it deals with very serious topics and I ended up totally sympathizing with Sophie. She really has one of the worst luck and while the story is nothing really outstanding, I ended up getting hooked until the end while hoping for Sophie to get back her confidence. The story might get very depressing at tim…32 found this helpful
The story of a woman struggling to find happiness and leaving her sad past behind her. It will resonates with everyone who had to face loneliness in their life, and hopefully help them find their way too.2 found this helpful
