I just finished all endings and unlocked every CG. What a beautiful journey. The story is engaging from start to finish and constantly manages to keep your interest with several unexpected twists and emotional moments. Despite being relatively short (around 9–11 hours), the pacing is excellent and there was never a point where I felt bored or wanted to skip through scenes. Some moments hit surprisingly hard emotionally, especially during Normal Ending 3, which left a strong impression on me and ended up being one of the highlights of the entire experience. The chemistry between the characters is well-written, and the game does a great job balancing romance, mystery, and drama. The atmosphere, soundtrack, and visuals all contribute to making the story memorable. There are quite a lot of H-scenes, but unlike many eroge, they feel relevant to the narrative and character development rather than being simple fanservice. Because of that, I would definitely recommend playing with the R18 patch installed. Overall, this is a touching and memorable visual novel that exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely keep fond memories of this story for a long time. Highly recommended.
I cannot overstate how meaningful this story is. This game dares you to stop and take a look around at the people in your life so that you can cherish them while you still can. The things you take for granted today may disappear one day. You only get one chance at life and a finite amount of time to make cheerful memories, after all. The game also tells you that it's okay to make sacrifices; just don't forget to respect the wishes of the people who have made sacrifices for you too. Even if you want to throw away your own life for the one you love, you must realize that it may not be what they want. Don't be rash, communicate, and strive to build futures together. One's life doesn't necessarily have to come at the expense of another's. And finally, don't lose hope. Even if things don't work out perfectly, even if your life is filled with goodbyes, stay strong, keep struggling, and live on. Live on for the people you may meet in the future and for those with whom you may be reunited. It's a beautiful game. It has a great story, good voice acting, well-made CGs, and it conveys an important message through all of its endings (whether good, bad, or true ending). Highly recommended if you're a fan of visual novels with elements of mystery, suspense, and romance.
This is my 1st time trying titles by purple software. After clearing it I find the script really solid. It has strict logic n pulls off a great suspense vibe. The mc has a thirty year old mindset n rarely does dumb stuff so the experience is pretty good. It’s just a bit overpriced for a short game. All in all this gal is definitely worth your time.
I’m always down for a good time travel story, but sadly they’re pretty rare, and even when they do exist, they often end up disappointing. You need look no further than Chrono Clock, also by Purplesoft, which had a fun time-travelling clock gimmick but didn’t use it particularly well. Thankfully, Nice to Meet You, Again takes much better advantage of the time travel concept. I’d even go as far to say... Purplesoft's Version of Steins;Gate Yes, that’s right, I think it reaches the same level as Steins;Gate in terms of having a super engaging and well-thought-out time travel plot. In many ways, it feels like it took Steins;Gate’s plot structure and adapted it to Purplesoft’s modern storytelling style. Sure, it doesn’t explain the "sci-fi technicalities" of the time travel on the same level as Steins;Gate, but for the parts that mattered more to me: a well-paced time travel story that follows its own rules, clever twists, meaningful use of real history and science, and strong emotional resonance, it delivers excellently. To better explain, the game starts strong. Within the first 10-15 minutes, you get the core gimmick: the MC gives blood to a magical life form called Laplace and travels back roughly 13 years to escape his boring 30-year-old salaryman life for about a week. What begins as a simple story about figuring out a mysterious girl he doesn’t remember (but who clearly shares mutual affection with him) quickly turns into something much more complex. It’s not so much about the mechanics of how the time travel works, but why it happens and why the MC can’t remember what was supposedly the happiest week of his life. Unraveling that mystery and watching the MC gain deeper motivation to return to the past (beyond just escaping boredom and seeing a cute girl) is constantly entertaining and engaging from start to finish. There’s almost never a dull moment. It gives you just enough slice-of-life to breathe and get to know the characters while steadily feeding you new information. Small but Mostly Likable Cast Given that this is a roughly 10-15 hour visual novel, it wisely sticks to a smaller cast (less than 10 named characters with sprites). Thankfully, they’re all pretty likable. None are likely to become all-time favorites, but they fit their roles well and generate enough emotional investment. The main character, Yumeto, is noticeably above average for a plain guy protagonist. Having the mind of a 30-year-old salaryman in a high schooler’s body gives him a more mature and proactive mindset. This helps both in tackling the mystery and in his interactions with other characters. His narration reminiscing about high school life compared to his 30s was also genuinely amusing. There is only one main heroine, the only romanceable girl, Sui Choumai. While she’s not the deepest heroine ever, she feels three-dimensional enough, like a real person with her own issues and agency. Given that her and Yumeto were already close to becoming lovers before the time travel, she can be surprisingly bold and assertive in expressing her feelings. She’s a mature sweetheart who’s canonically smart and loves reading to satisfy her curiosity. Even when she learns the MC is time traveling, she takes it in stride, which fits her open-minded personality. I’d say the romance works well enough, better than the average Purplesoft true heroine route, largely thanks to the inferred chemistry they already had before the time leap. Even though the “time traveling” Yumeto doesn’t remember her, it’s easy to see why he would also fall for her. Later reveals about Sui make the romance even sweeter. The other named and supporting characters are solid too. Almost none feel wasted. If a character has a sprite (or even just a voice), they tend to have real purpose in the story (outside the two "bro" characters). That’s impressive for a ~10-hour linear, time-travel-heavy VN. Linear Story but with Multiple Endings Despite being mostly linear, the game actually has multiple endings. Most are bad endings unlocked through semi-obvious choices. However, some endings are either required to progress or are unlocked through not-too-obvious choices. Most bad endings send you back to the title screen with a hint, while others are so blatant the game more or less just tells you to load a save. Overall, the bad endings are worth seeing, many have unique CGs, emotional weight, and interesting “what-if” scenarios. Personal Issues (Mostly of the Lewd Variety) As much as I like the characters, and love the storytelling with its excellent pacing, engaging mystery, and hard-hitting emotional moments, there are some issues that stop me from calling it a masterpiece. The “30-year-old salaryman in a high schooler’s body” premise is a double-edged sword. While it makes him mature and proactive, it also gets pretty uncomfortable at times. Lines like “There’s no way a young girl like her could make me do or feel X” just don't feel right when he’s mentally 10+ years older than the main heroine. The pre-established bond with Sui kinda justifies this issue, but it still gave me pause. More importantly, the H-scenes. Purplesoft is known for silly, over-the-top H content, even tending to throw them in pretty early on in their VNs. I can usually laugh at them, which I did in stories like Amatsutsumi and Aoi Tori. However in Nandomeka, when there's so many H-scenes in a otherwise well-paced 10-hour time travel mystery, some of these scenes were so ridiculous that I genuinely felt like I was losing brain cells. Examples include pointless choices that basically boil down to “which silly magic gimmick H-scene do you want?” or the plot device character Lapla being forced to have H-scenes in very dumb ways (thankfully not in cat form). The middle third of the story especially suffers from these H-scene interruptions. I wonder if the All-Ages version would actually improve the experience unless you specifically want the COQ (artist) H-scenes. There are also some mild nitpicks I have: like a few twists could have been handled better, occasional exposition-heavy narration, and slightly more romance/character development with Sui would have been nice. Oh, and Sui’s absurdly large chest size, though she’s a strong enough character that I could mostly ignore it. Conclusion: A Very Fun, Dark, Emotional Time Travel Mystery As long as you can overlook the silly H-scenes and the potentially uncomfortable mental age gap, Nice to Meet You, Again is one of the best time travel mystery stories I’ve read. The time travel itself may just be non-scientific magic, but the story otherwise smartly uses real science, history, and well-thought out developments to enhance the plot. The characters are likable with solid motivations, the mystery feeds information to the reader at an almost perfect pace, and the emotional moments hit very hard. Strongly recommended if you want a ~10 hour dark, emotional time travel story, as long as you can tolerate some Purplesoft lewdslop silliness.
Oh damn this game is good. The common reaction is to see the heroine's absolutely monstrous milkers and think it's just a horny kinetic novel, I wouldn't blame you. But this game just does it differently. It's much longer than listed, has a rather complex structure, over 5 endings, and some of the best time travel I've seen in media. It is very compelling and shares great similarities with other Purple software works. Essentially, this game is an absolute sleeper. Boredom sure sucks, but don't take it for granted. I feel as if this game communicates that very well. It makes the reader think deeper even about their own past, and we see Yumeto's struggles laid bare. It offers a mystery that was a pleasure to uncover, and characters that have more to the story than what is on the surface. I don't want to say too much, but those who love time travel stories and magic will adore this game, because it really is fantastically done. Furthermore, this is a great Purple software game to start with, coming from someone who has read over 7 of their games. The art...It's COQ's, of course it's incredible. I have immense respect for someone who can depict extremely erotic scenes like Purple is famous for (the game has really good H) and at the same time tender romance, and heartbreaking situations. It's really impressive. The shading and color choice is just phenomenal. Like said before, I don't think there is a weak part of this game and I can almost guarantee everyone will enjoy it. I certainly wasn't dissappointed in the slightest.
