We'll be working over the next few months to finalise the game ready for release. This'll be our final post in this devlog series, so thank you to all who have joined us along the way. Further updates on the release itself will be made available on our usual channels (*cough* social media).

As the release is only a short while away, as you'd expect we have been working on adding the finishing touches to the game. It's been a pleasure working with everyone to get all these aspects complete and I'm glad we'll be able to share them all with you soon.
One aspect I've really enjoyed working on is the 'extra' touches to the game. One of these will be our 'quiz' mini-game used to unlock the guest art gallery. Our mock-up below gives some idea of what this will be like!
Big emphasis on mock-up. We'll be improving the visuals and clarity of the screen before release to make sure that everything functions properly, but the idea is to be tested on your knowledge of the Sounds of Her Love lore in order to unlock special artwork from a variety of talented artists.
Other additional features include adding in 'NVL' menus for certain scenes to improve the flow of the script. NVL menus present multiple lines on the screen at a time, in a window that takes up the entire screen.
In terms of remaining updates, we will be working on saving those for the full release. I have always held the belief to keep the sweetest moments of the game unspoilt, so expect to see the fullest of our custom artwork, voice acting and music on display once Sounds of Her Love 2 releases.
Thank you all so much for joining us on this journey! As we approach the 8-year anniversary of the original game, it's no surprise that this universe and these characters (especially Ceri) have a special place in our heart and it is always heart-warming to hear how many people discovered the winder visual novel medium/genre through SOHL.
Please stick with us as we now focus on the full release! Thank you!

- Sounds of Her Love ~We'll always be together~
Story
In the midst of their hearts, something is blossoming between two students. Both of whom go about their daily lives at an international school in Tokyo.
Just what is flowering? Of course, it's love.
Starting your new life after transferring into an international school, you find yourself dismayed when it turns out to be the same as any other. Except for one thing... or person, rather. As your newly founded relationship increasingly tightens with the girl you just met, find out what there is to learn about each other as your lives intertwine with one another, discovering things about her stashed away behind a veil of timidity.
Characters
Ceridwen Erwood (CV: Amber Barile)
Ceri, a student of the Welsh International School of Japan (WISJ) is a warm-hearted girl, prone to being found immersed in the pages of a novel or the strings of a classical celtic harp. She has a desire to study literature, though she had been known to have had a large period of time away from school due to an illness. As stated by her.
Of Welsh origin herself, Ceri's a lot more readable than her language. Or so it might seem. Timid and docile on the outside, nobody can really tell what surprises she might have in store. As you get to know her however, the truth about her becomes much more clear to you. Learn about her past, be with her in the present, and join her in the future. That is, if she opens up to you. She's an extremely shy person, so getting her to open up isn't going to be easy.
Protagonist (Player Named)
You "play" as a half Japanese, half English transfer to the WISJ.
His second week at an international school has just started. Many students seem to be pompous in his eyes. It costs a lot of money to attend, after all. Within his first week, he has managed to make a grand total of zero friends. Socialising isn't easy, at least that's what he thinks.
Unlike his father, a well-regarded owner of a publishing company, he wastes his time daily doing nothing productive. Things change however, when he meets "someone" who piques his interest.
