Development Team

The creator behind Something’s In The Air Redux is the same mind that contributed to the early series entries and the Date Ariane projects; the original Something’s In The Air was notable as one of the first Renpy visual novels to use 3D renders, and the Redux was produced in part because the remastering of Date Ariane inspired a revisitation and reworking of the original material.
