Junya, who is grieving the death of his brother, is confronted by a mysterious girl who says, "You should have been the one to die." As Junya is plagued by his tragic past but is surrounded by people who wish to help him, he begins renovating a traditional Japanese manor house. This is a task that is so large that he will not be able to complete it by himself.

The game is a successor to the celebrated Memories Off series and takes place 10 years after in a modern setting. SINce Memories: Off The Starry Sky is a familiar coming-of-age visual novel that is filled with growth, love, and healing, according to NintendoEverything.

Key features of the game have players trying to uncover the mystery behind the death of Junya's brother as well as the girl who first spoke to him. It also has branching routes where players explore different character routes as they build up relationships with the five heroines; Chihaya, Hinata, Chunyu, Yuriko, and Azusa.

The character designs were made by U35, which is an acclaimed character designer that was able to bring exquisite production values and unique creations. SINce Memories: Off The Starry Sky also features a remarkable story.

The characters in the game are also fully voiced in Japanese, which brings their personalities and interactions to life. This allows players to immerse themselves in the game and experience their raw emotion and heartfelt reaction, said Gematsu.

An Unforgettable Story

On top of the story and character designs, the visual novel game also has an amazing soundtrack. This is thanks to Takeshi Abo, who is known for his works on Steins;Gate, Chaos;Head, and the Memories Off series. His soundtrack transforms the game into a beautiful cinematic experience.

SINce Memories: Off The Starry Sky mixes breathtaking artistry, amazing production values, and a beautiful soundtrack to create an unforgettable story. Players taking control of Junya will have to work together with the character's childhood friend, Chihaya in rebuilding the Hojo manor.

The mainline games in the series currently have eight titles, seven of which are available in the two-volume Memories Off Historia compilations for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The latest non-re-release game is Memories Off: Innocent Fille, which was launched in 2018.

For three years since then, there was no movement in the series until the release of SINce Memories: Off The Starry Sky in 2021 in Japan and Asia for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC, according to Digitally Downloaded.
