MY FAVOURITE GIRLS ARE FRIENDS! MY CEMETERY QUEEN AND MY TRASH QUEEN ARE FRIENDS AND I LOVE IT!!!
Sorry I just had to get the Mary and Maggie love out of my system first because I squeed so hard seeing these two together, please let them be friends in future works too.
This game is a delight! I had so much fun working through Lucky Rabbit Club, it's easily one of the best murdersims I've ever played. You never fail to make games I adore and this one is no exception. The art is gorgeous as always, loving the designs of new and old characters alike, and the setting is absolutely fantastic. I love how much personality the club has, both in it's upper level and the section we get trapped in. Exploring each room and using the comments and visuals to solve the puzzles felt very satisfying. Speaking of puzzles, amazing job with these! Some of them took me longer to figure out then others (got very confused by the initial clock puzzle because I was looking at the time on the painting, not the wine!) but they were the perfect balance of challenging and logical. My desk is currently covered with notes I was making as I went along, it's been a while since I've been that invested in puzzles. And the fact that some solutions are randomised actually adds a good bit of replayability, nice touch.
As usual the story and characters are brilliant, I think at this point I'm running out of words to explain how much I adore your storytelling. Nina is fantastic, loving her design and her attitude overall. She didn't not take any shit and had plenty of badass moments even when fighting to escape alive (and the way the true ending flipped the script with her? AMAZING!). Playboy also kept stealing the show, I was quite happy hating him at first but of course you had to keep adding cute moments to make me like him in the end, and now I want to see him return again. I still want to know more on his backstory and his whole operation, as well as his friendship with Mary and Maggie (I just need more of those two together, it's perfect!). The scientist had a great design and I actually really liked the bartender's look as well, even your side characters are always so memorable. I also absolutely loved the little cameo of Nova and Twyla, did not realise how much I missed those lunatics until seeing that picture.
Amazing game, so glad I finally had a spare moment to play it and I definitely will be playing it again.
