''Blue Reflection: Second Light'' is a JRPG from Creator/GustCorporation. It was released in Japan for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation 4 and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch on October 21, 2021, with a Western release for [=PlayStation=] 4, Nintendo Switch, and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on November 9, 2021. It makes the third entry in the "Blue Reflection Project", starting with ''VideoGame/BlueReflection'' and ''Anime/BlueReflectionRay''.

Ao Hoshizaki and her friends are a group of schoolgirls attempting to live a peaceful school life...a process made more complicated by the fact that they and their school have been transported to the middle of a realm known as the Heartscape that seems to be a mish-mash of several different environments. It doesn't help that none of them can remember their lives before this either. Still, with the power to transform into magical defenders known as "Reflectors", the girls attempt to make the most of their lives and figure out what's going on.

But this task is not easy. Creatures roam the land that can challenge the girls even with their powers. The sky seems to be cracking as our heroes get closer to the truth. And that's something not quite right about those two blonde girls who keep showing up, seemingly knowing more about the situation than they're telling...

!!Tropes:

* ActionizedSequel: Combat is a bit faster this time around. There's more of an emphasis on dealing combos and certain fights can allow you to go one-on-one with the enemy.
* BagOfSpilling: [[spoiler:Hinako lost a lot of levels between the last game and this one.]]
* HeroesPreferSwords: Three of the girls use blades in battle: [[spoiler:Hinako, Shiho and Hiori]]. Averted with Ao, Kokoro and Yuki, who use a scythe, gun and ring, respectively.
* AnInteriorDesignerIsYou: You can actually add new things around the school for your personal use.
* ItemCrafting: Plays a bigger role this time around. In addition to items, you can also build new facilities around the school to use.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: None of the cast can remember why they were sent to the Heartscape in the first place.
* LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: Subtly done. While getting the heck out of there is obviously the most important goal, the girls also attempt to enjoy themselves and find ways to keep happy while doing so.
* NostalgiaLevel: [[spoiler:Late in the game, you revisit the Common and traverse through the four areas based on the four emotions they represent.]]
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Even more so than last time. Spending time with the other is straight-up called dating and you can progress relationships to the point of HoldingHands.
