Again is a noir‑inspired detective adventure for the Nintendo DS, developed by Cing—the studio known for atmospheric mystery games like Hotel Dusk: Room 215. You play as Jonathan “J” Weaver, an FBI agent with the rare ability to see past events by touching objects at crime scenes. When a series of killings mimicking a notorious serial killer resurfaces after 19 years, J must use his unique gift to uncover the truth behind the “Providence” murders.

The game uses a mix of live‑action‑style visuals, dual‑screen storytelling, and exploration‑based gameplay. Investigations revolve around comparing the past and present versions of environments using the DS screens: the top screen shows how the crime scene looked at the time of the murder, while the bottom screen displays its current state. Players must spot differences, find clues, and piece together what happened to progress the case.

Interview suspects, gather evidence, and follow a twisting narrative filled with psychological tension, red herrings, and dramatic revelations. With chapter‑based pacing and an emphasis on logic and observation over action, Again delivers a grounded, story‑rich detective experience perfect for fans of mystery adventures.
