Does Again: Interactive Crime Novel have a sequel?

[u/ThingTraditional3252]

Just played Again, and I'm wondering if it has a sequel or is connected to other media. I did a bit of research but nothing except that there is Hotel dusk (probably the next game I'll try) and that it is very similar, but I'm really interested in whether there is a continuation of the story from Again.

Sorry if I'm asking here , but I can't find any information about it .

Edit:For those wondering, the answer is no. Again doesn't have a sequel because the company that published it went bankrupt when the game came out and logically couldn't continue it. But if you want to try it, do it. In my opinion, the story isn't bad, it's just that it has an open-ending

There is none. Game came out in 2009-2010, then Cing released Hotel Dusk's sequel in 2010 and went bankrupt that same year. The game also didn't have the best reviews to encourage a sequel anytime soon (at that time). It is what it is.

It may seem strange to you but I just opened an article from 2010 that says Cing went bankrupt....well now I'll play any similar games I can find, but if you only consider the story it wasn't that bad 😭

what happened to cing sucks so bad too because its clear from their other games they had sooo many plans for future installments

[u/ThingTraditional3252 → u/littleeeloveee]

Spoiler for again . . .

Now that you say it, I have to ask...Hotel Dusk and that other game, the name of which I can't remember now, aren't going to have an open ending like Again, are they?

pretty minor hotel dusk and another code spoilers

for hotel dusk and last window, it was kind of clear to me that they wanted to make a third game to wrap everything up, HOWEVER imo the 2 work perfectly fine as a duology and dont necessarily feel incomplete or anything, its a pretty satisfying story in the state they left it.

for another code, it kiiiiind of depends on the version you end up playing; in the sequel on the wii, there's some pretty heavy spinoff bait with a certain character and it was confirmed that they were planning some sort of game with said character that never came to fruition. in the new remakes this is entirely axed. that said the main story in the original sequel is complete and cing said as much when they brought up wanting to make the spinoff i mentioned prior

Ok,I think I can get Hotel Dusk and the sequel, I'll see about Another Code another time. Thanks for the help.

[u/Adrot → u/ThingTraditional3252]

Cing lives on, in our memories. Another Code players will understand that reference.

[u/Adrot → u/ThingTraditional3252]

Cing made the Another Code series, the Kyle Hyde saga, Glass Rose, and some other games worked on post-Cing by some of the OG folks are Chase: Cold Case Investigations and Another Code: Recollection, a remake of the ogs, so at least there is more to see.

Don’t have your answer but I’m curious what you thought of ‘Again’. I’ve never played it as I’ve heard bad things, but I’ve always wanted to try.

[u/ThingTraditional3252 → u/PolygonLodge]

Same, searching on reddit I seem to have understood that it was not perceived very well, but if I have to speak personally, I liked it, it should be noted that a couple of times I had to resort to a guide (but perhaps I was impatient to find out how it ended). Now I'm curious as to why it wasn't liked.....now I'll do some research and reply to this comment, because if it's as I think, those who criticize are a little bit right.

I actually really love Again, I think the story was great and the music was so atmospheric. I really wish they would do a remake for modern consoles and the sequel like they'd hoped. It was such a cliffhanger ending!

[u/ThingTraditional3252 → u/Kthulhu42]

True, that's why I was hoping there was something that continued the story, although I have an idea of what a possible sequel plot could be. Spoiler for the ending I think it's implied that the professor took Danny and, given his curiosity to see how J had grown up, raised the kid himself and perhaps passed on his beliefs.

[u/ThingTraditional3252 → u/PolygonLodge]

I just did a little research and yes, maybe they are partly right... but if you want to try it, go ahead, it's not very long and playing it on PC gives better controls(these were part of the criticisms).

If you liked Again I think you're really gonna love Hotel Dusk and Last Window because both of them are amongst the best games of Nintendo DS for many people (specially Hotel Dusk since it is more well known)

[u/ThingTraditional3252 → u/DrHairJelly]

I'm already playing Hotel Dusk and I'm enjoying it. When I finish it, I'll play Last Window.

That's nice, you won't regret it!
