What is START AGAIN: a prologue?
This top-down RPG follows Siffrin and their party through a castle as they fight turn-based battles and try to defeat the King, ending a curse that has frozen the country in time. When Siffrin dies, the journey restarts at the castle entrance, but only Siffrin remembers earlier attempts.

What players say
96% of 681 reviews are positive · 91% of 12 in the last 30 days
Players praise the emotional story and the chance to see early ideas later developed in In Stars and Time; many recommend playing it after that game. The most common complaint is that its short length does not justify the price.
