Description

Sepia Tears is a romance visual novel. It's about a memory that a boy named Mark tries very hard to forget, and a girl named Myra who unearths it. Together, they search for a storybook romance and realize that love doesn't always bloom as neatly as it ought to. The DLC remaster includes includes three extra chapters (with four new CGs), new background art, and a remastered soundtrack.

History

Originally a hobby project between myself and a few internet friends, Sepia Tears was first released on December 24th, 2013. Eventually it made its way to the Play Store and Steam. But, as the product of a few part-time hobbyists, the original game was a little rough around the edges. Reprise Edition was conceived as the definitive edition of Sepia Tears, featuring three extra chapters, new background art, a remastered soundtrack, and an improved UI. The remaster contains the full story, so you can play it with no knowledge of the original.

Features

  • A heartwarming, 50k word story about the darker side of youthful romance.
  • Vocal ending song.
  • Handdrawn background art.
  • CG gallery containing game CGs, chibi CGs, and promo art.
