Here is an overview of the game, via Koei Tecmo:
About
The Blue Reflection series depicts the emotions and bonds of teenage girls across a variety of mediums, with character design and series supervision by famed illustrator Mel Kishida. Blue Reflection Quartet contains all four of these emotional stories in a single collection. New features make the series more accessible than ever before, with a more detailed look at the setting that will help newcomers understand events and provide a deeper look for returning fans.
Blue Reflection
A console game which told the story of an injured former ballerina as she used her powers as a magical Reflector to form bonds with others and fight off the looming threat to the world. Textures have been updated to high resolution versions, and new visual effects such as glistening water add to the world’s atmosphere. New features such as autosave have been included, offering a more enjoyable experience than ever before.
Blue Reflection: Ray
An anime that tells the story of magical Reflectors clashing with each other over their conflicting beliefs and emotions. This game tells a condensed version of the story, with the major characters rendered in 3D. Follow Hiori and Ruka as they explore the Common while re-experiencing their memories on their way to confront a girl trying to recreate the world. New short stories expand on the anime’s story, and a new prologue and epilogue connect this entry to the other works in the series.
Blue Reflection: Sun
A mobile game that told the story of a team of girls living in a dying world as they hold on to hope for the future. Sun‘s story has been remade as a console game using the systems of Blue Reflection: Second Light to recreate the memorable battles of the original game. 24 new character events have been added alongside the main story, and the prologue and epilogue from the original release connect this entry to the other works in the series.
Blue Reflection: Second Light
A console game that tells the story of a group of girls with no memories who find themselves in a strange world. Through their adventures, the girls must look deep inside their hearts, regain their memories, and discover the truth about the world they are living in. This entry in the Blue Reflection project first came out in October of 2021. This release for Blue Reflection Quartet features eight additional characters from Ray and Sun who can join you in battle. These new characters also join Yuzuki and Lime as new additions to the Photo Mode! New features such as increased battle speed, faster movement speed while exploring, and event fast-forwarding have been included, offering a more enjoyable experience than ever before.

GOTY 2024 #8 - BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light
BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light is a game that came out in 2021. At least A Highland Song came out in December of 2023, so it almost counts as a 2024 game. However, you will increasingly discover in my GOTY list that I do not care about release dates. I only truly care about when I played the game.
BR:SL is a sequel to the first Blue Reflection game made by Gust, a game studio with a really fascinating if often shaky track record. Although the Atelier series is by far their most popular and successful franchise, my introduction to Gust was via Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia, a game that blended a pretty standard RPG plotline with VN dating sim elements and a pretty cool and unique combat system. The writing was...okay at best, and often far too heterosexual for its own good, but it was a style of RPG I had never seen before, so I appreciated Gust's moxie even if I felt the end result was kinda mid.
BR:SL reminded me a lot of Ar Tonelico as I was playing through it. The story is certainly better than Ar Tonelico's, but still nothing I'd classify as "great". It's way too grindy and a bit long in the tooth (I still haven't actually finished the game, but I got very close). It is, however, an audacious game in all the ways I adore.
It throws you into an ATB-esque combat system where combo chains matter, you can interrupt enemies (and vice versa), and every action you take causes you to move back into the turn order by a different amount. It trusts you to learn on your own when to go for the big but slow hit, when to delay acting at all so you can guard just when a boss unleashes a powerful attack, and when to push for just one more chain attack to stagger an enemy. And then once you've gotten comfortable with that, it reveals that there's ANOTHER combat system layered inside the first one, where a party-member can go one-on-one with an enemy to really do some damage.
It introduces a crafting system where you can make new items (beds, vending machines, martial arts training dummies, takoyaki stands, etc.) with all the other magical girls trapped alongside you in a weird, liminal dimension that consists solely of a high school building and it's immediate grounds. You can then take each of the girls on dates to these points of interest you've crafted out of bits of abstract material dropped by emotion demons.
And by god does it have yuri. The player character--Ao--is an absolutely relentless yuri warrior, taking every opportunity possible to flirt with the other girls. Once Ao's affection with a girl is high enough, they'll hold hands when they wander around the school. The whole game was a parade of new things that made me smile and/or shout "really?!?!" at my screen.
It's just delightful.
I'm so glad it exists.
