About this game
Right, so the topless toggle button. That's a thing now. For the ten dollar plus crowd, which, you know, fair enough. I spent a good five minutes just flicking it on and off in the middle of a fight with Misty. The boss fight, I mean. Not... anyway. They fixed her damage counter thing so she actually takes the right hits now, which is good because before it felt like slapping a brick wall with a wet noodle. The whole game has this deliberately crusty RPG Maker look, like it was dug up from a 2003 hard drive, but then someone slapped these surprisingly detailed hentai CGs on top. The contrast is jarring in the best way.
The new questline with Joyce. You get her as a summon and then there's this whole thing. The reward CGs are in her special window, seven of them, and the viewer now gives you a little hint if you're missing one. Which is helpful because I was definitely missing one. The geek and cosplay tags are doing a lot of heavy lifting here, it's a convention setting so everyone's in some kind of outfit. Felicia's candy gram quest used to be a nightmare but now the receptionist on the first floor actually tracks your progress. Pills are easier to spot too, which, thank god, I was going blind squinting at the floor textures. Oh, and Michelle has a summon now if you finish her crab sidequest. Crab. Sidequest. I won't elaborate but it's exactly what you think and also not at all.
The battle backgrounds are a nice touch, the lava gym and pirate room ones especially. Gives the fights a bit more flavor than just a blurry void. Sticker sets are in there too, Ivy's by some artist called Chicken, which is a great name. The whole thing is unpolished in a way that feels intentional, like a zine you'd trade at a con. The writing is dumb and knows it. Sometimes a character will say something and you just have to pause and stare at the ceiling. The discord link is right there in the description if you want to yell about it with others. I might.
