START AGAIN: a prologue launched on August 18, 2021 as a self-contained, complete game. The store description explicitly states that "this game is complete and you will not finish it feeling like you only read Chapter 1 of a 1000 page book," and frames it as a standalone side story and prototype for the full game, In Stars and Time. The artbook DLC released alongside the game on the same day, and no other DLC has been announced or listed. The developer's subsequent news posts have been focused on promoting In Stars and Time — the follow-up game in the series — which launched on November 20, 2023. The most recent post (June 6, 2026) announced a demo for the developer's next project, Truth Scrapper, confirming the developer has moved fully into a new project. There is no indication of any additional content planned for START AGAIN: a prologue. It launched as a finished product and has remained so.

START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN: A PROLOGUE (or: START AGAIN: a prologue) is a story driven turn-based RPG where you, Siffrin, are stuck in a time loop for no reason you can find.
The country is frozen in time, and together with your allies you fought your way through the castle and fought the King to put an end to this curse… And you died and found yourself right back at the entrance. Again. And again. And again.
But you’re the only one who remembers it; your allies are none the wiser. And there’s no end in sight.
You're fine though! Hiding your knowledge from your friends is easy! Fighting the same enemies is easy! Dying to the same final boss over and over again is easy!
You have to make sure your friends don't find out about the super fun time travel times you're having though.
They can't know.
They can't.
FEATURES:
A story all about how time loops would affect someone and their relationship with their friends!
ATB based gameplay! Utilize rock-paper-scissors style weaknesses and strengths to tactically take down your foes!
Four "endings" depending on your choices (as in, as in, four different ways the battle against the final boss can go)! Including one True Ending!
3-5 hour playtime!
Your friends having fun conversations about crabs while you're in the corner on the verge of a panic attack!
"HOW'S THIS RELATED TO SUPERCOOL INDIE RPG IN STARS AND TIME THOUGH?"
START AGAIN: a prologue is the first installment in the START AGAIN series, but this game is complete and you will not finish it feeling like you only read Chapter 1 of a 1000 page book! This prologue is more akin to a side story, a prototype for In Stars and Time, and stands completely on its own.
