March 2026
Ever since I played The Silver Case, its unique atmosphere and overall presentation of the story kept lingering in my mind, hence I was excited to finally continue with this game, which I really enjoyed for the most part! The aesthetics are great as always, I love how this game's style leans more towards pastel-colored UI designs in contrast with monochrome art. Additionally, I found the music and ambience wonderful and immersive. I also must say that the gameplay elements and pacing felt considerably less tedious compared to the prequel, yet could still feel somewhat frustrating and unnecessary occasionally. The most memorable part is certainly the writing; that combination of a linear plot revolving around an enclosed character cast and simultaneously being a commentary on various abstract and broad concepts didn't disappoint once again. I surprisingly managed to keep up with the story quite well at the beginning but sadly got completely lost eventually, however reading interpretations helped a lot (T-T). It's funny how despite mostly not being an emotionally-driven story, it still somehow managed to ruin me mentally lol. Something about the writing, even despite being filled with silly jokes and absurdity, truly got me; I like how the goofy aspects of it didn't even feel particularly immersion-breaking for the serious parts to me. Although it's unfortunate how easy it is to get lost in the plot, it's honestly a genius story that encompasses plenty of interesting and contemplative themes. I certainly lack the competence to fully grasp the story, however definitely adored the experience a lot, it felt very special!

Suda, for the love of God finish the trilogy on steam and add Flower Sun and Rain. Now for the 25th ward review. The writing is great, art is top notch, although I miss the TSC art style a little more. Matchmaker was definitely the best part of the 25th ward, wish it was longer or expanded upon. Artstyle for all storylines are amazing, and the soundtrack is super catchy and sets tone very well.

Pay the guy who made No More Heroes to laugh at you while you knock on every single door of a 75 floor apartment complex. Twice.

I don't care that I don't understand the latter half of the story, I don't care if I had to pull out multiple guides to beat it. The art direction, dialogue, music, and vibes were too peak.
