Mages has revealed the main characters for Memories Off Sousou: Not Always True. The new title will appear as the ninth mainline entry to the long-running visual novel series.
The player will assume the role of Itsuki Kusumegi. The second-grade high school student is already assigned an unknown fiancee by his parents. The storyline will have a specific focus on Sae Sunomiya, a part-time worker at the Ressac restaurant and cafe who also attends the same school in the third grade. However, the story’s early parts will have Sae harboring a negative impression of Itsuki due to a terrible first encounter at the restaurant.
Itsuki’s childhood friend Nene Amaha will support him in building a relationship with Sae, although she also harbors feelings towards the protagonist. Other heroine candidates will include fellow light novel enthusiast Kazune Kitakata, the delinquent senior Setsuka Nakamori, and the half-German soccer player Marie Akira Forster.
Memories Off Sousou will also have several other supporting characters. The list includes Itsuki’s best friend Arata Otani, the class teacher Tsubame Minami, the Ressac restaurant’s chief trainer Shin Inaho, and Marie’s teammate Hikari Kurauchi.
Here is a gallery showing the official art for all of the characters:
Mages will release the new ninth mainline entry to the visual novel series simultaneously on the PS4, Switch, and PC. The company had previously brought all prior mainline entries to the same platforms. That means when Sousou has come out, every mainline Memories Off entry will be available on those platforms.
Memories Off Sousou: Not Always True will be available for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in 2024.
