My saga of reviewing begins 2.0 [ehehe, I have no idea if this will spam your inbox, Royce]
THIS GAME. I had already played all your other games to date when I first played [and playtested] this game but the entire game and the buildup it has to the final scenes are absolutely heartbreaking. I went in expecting silly thieves but this wrecked me on a level unimaginable. In a good way of course. I actually played this game in full for the first time with my platonic partner so it was 2x as heartbreaking near the end. Of course, this game as a whole was just pure fun, the dialogue, the game’s mechanics, the artwork ESPECIALLY made the game pure perfection. The fact that you were able to replicate a certain somebody’s artstyle is also highly impressive, for a second I thought it was just clean manga rips! I have and will continue to replay this game as well, the message from it only becomes clear as everything comes together at the end, which I greatly enjoy as well.
[And maybe, just slightly, very slightly maybe this inspired me to start working on a Lupin III VN of my own]
