Evaluation
BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light launched on November 8, 2021 and received a burst of post-launch support over the following few months. All 15 DLC items — including the Season Pass, two costume sets, two additional maps, a crafting function, and a school facility pack — were released between November 2021 and January 4, 2022. The developer also shipped four patches between November 2021 and February 28, 2022, adding Photo Mode improvements, a new difficulty level, and bug fixes. The last official communication from the developer was the February 28, 2022 patch (Ver 1.04). No further updates, announcements, or developer posts have appeared since then. There are no unreleased DLC items, no roadmaps, and no developer statements about future content. The game appears to have launched as a complete, self-contained RPG with a focused DLC season that fully shipped within roughly two months of release.

With gorgeous translucent designs by Mel Kishida, as well as a story that depicts the youth of lifelike girls, based on a theme of human identity and bonding, a new title in the BLUE REFLECTION series is here!
Story
Under a piercing blue sky, surrounded by crystal clear water, the sun scorched Ao Hoshizaki's skin.Gazing at the summer scenery, it seemed as if the girl was left behind in a world that she had wandered into.
At a school adrift in the distance, there lived three girls who had lost their memories.
The only thing they could remember was their names.
Ao, shrouded in confusion, begins to lead a strange communal life with the girls as they seek clues about a way to return to their original world.

One day, in this world where the school was surrounded by nothing but water, a path that led to new scenery suddenly appeared.
At the end of the path was a mysterious location, where familiar things existed inexplicably.
In order to grasp the situation, the girls decided to venture forward, but as soon as they took their first steps, they encountered a monster they had never seen before.
But just when they thought things had become hopeless, the girls obtain a mysterious power.
In a world that seemed to be trapped in summer, young girls have lost their memories.
If the girls solve the mystery, what will they obtain?
