Evaluation
Sounds of Her Love is a free-to-play visual novel that originally released on March 9, 2017. It received one paid DLC — "Sounds of Her Love ~We'll always be together~" — which launched on July 25, 2018, rounding out the game's content. The developer also issued a minor bug-fix patch in May 2020.
From 2023 onward, the developer's communications shifted entirely to announcing and developing a standalone sequel, Sounds of Her Love 2. This sequel launched on June 20, 2025, as confirmed by the developer's post on June 13, 2025. The developer described it as the culmination of "the last 8 years" of the franchise and expressed gratitude for the journey — language consistent with a sense of completion for this chapter of the series.
The original game's content — base game plus one DLC — has been fully released since July 2018. No new content for the original game has been announced or suggested. The sequel is a separate title on its own Steam page and does not represent additional content for this game. The game launched as a complete product and has remained so.
Evidence
Developer announced Sounds of Her Love 2 launching June 20, 2025 — a separate, standalone sequel on its own Steam page. The post reflects on the 8-year journey of the franchise, indicating the original game's story arc is concluded.
The sole DLC, 'Sounds of Her Love ~We'll always be together~', was released on July 25, 2018. This is the only post-launch content for the original game.

About this game
Story
In the midst of their hearts, something is blossoming between two students. Both of whom go about their daily lives at an international school in Tokyo.
Just what is flowering? Of course, it's love.
Starting your new life after transferring into an international school, you find yourself dismayed when it turns out to be the same as any other. Except for one thing... or person, rather. As your newly founded relationship increasingly tightens with the girl you just met, find out what there is to learn about each other as your lives intertwine with one another, discovering things about her stashed away behind a veil of timidity.
Characters
Ceridwen Erwood (CV: Amber Barile)
Ceri, a student of the Welsh International School of Japan (WISJ) is a warm-hearted girl, prone to being found immersed in the pages of a novel or the strings of a classical celtic harp. She has a desire to study literature, though she had been known to have had a large period of time away from school due to an illness. As stated by her.
Of Welsh origin herself, Ceri's a lot more readable than her language. Or so it might seem. Timid and docile on the outside, nobody can really tell what surprises she might have in store. As you get to know her however, the truth about her becomes much more clear to you. Learn about her past, be with her in the present, and join her in the future. That is, if she opens up to you. She's an extremely shy person, so getting her to open up isn't going to be easy.
Protagonist (Player Named)
You "play" as a half Japanese, half English transfer to the WISJ.
His second week at an international school has just started. Many students seem to be pompous in his eyes. It costs a lot of money to attend, after all. Within his first week, he has managed to make a grand total of zero friends. Socialising isn't easy, at least that's what he thinks.
Unlike his father, a well-regarded owner of a publishing company, he wastes his time daily doing nothing productive. Things change however, when he meets "someone" who piques his interest.
