The twitter drama on a dmc 3 remake is like. I would like one for the sole reason of seeing more Vergil and Dante however if it’s like dmc5, I will cry.
Things I accept from remakes: fixing the camera
I don’t even want a graphical update since I actually like the ps2 models more than the re engine ones
You know, it’s been a long time coming, but after playing the game twice, I think it’s appropriate to say.
Danganronpa fans: You should be playing Return to Shironagasu Island!!!!
Seriously.
Okay, this is a two dollar visual novel on Steam currently that is also being ported as a fully voice VN to the Switch as well.
What’s it about? Well, to put it simply, this game follows a detective named Sen Ikeda and his neurotic assistant, Neneko, as the two are called to an island to investigate why an invitation caused a man to take his own life. Upon arriving to the prestigious island with other eccentric and questionable guests, Ikeda and Neneko soon realize that the place is steeped in one hell of a bloody history and that they won’t be leaving anytime soon.
Okay, but for realsies, this game is great to play for lots of reasons. But the first of them is Neneko. She was pretty much made for the average Danganronpa fan to sink their teeth into, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A TOKO FUKAWA FAN!!!
Neneko is like the creator of the VN played DR THH and kinned Toko Fukawa so hard that he had to make an entire mystery game around her and also give her a rich bitch girl love interest (sort of) to actually like her back:
The characters are incredibly fun, the story is alluring, comedic, frightening, and it all comes together for one hell of a dramatic and heartwarming ending for the main characters.
However! A few trigger warnings: Occasional Jumpscares (they’re very mild, but it does have horror tones), human trafficking, violence, blood, guts in jars, the worst men on earth die some pretty violent deaths, torture, and a partial crossdressing plot point (honestly it didn’t come off as transphobic or anything since the main character assumes the character crossdressing is either possibly trans or just enjoys it and is like “Oh hey that’s cool. If you ever have any problems, just talk to me. I’ve met all kinds of people in my line of work.” But I am not trans so I can’t make that call for any of you, so be aware). Oh and some times sequences… but they’re pretty inconsequential. There are a few anime tropes here and there that get a tad “Ughhh…” but nothing too overbearing.
It’s just really done well as a small game and it has everything I love. OH AND ITS TWO DOLLARS ON STEAM!!!!
GO! GO PLAY IT! I’ll stream it often enough if ya can’t, but seriously this game is a total Diamond in the Rough and deserves more attention!
Imagine being on your death bed, surrounded by those you love, looking back on your life and being ready to embrace the sweet hereafter your belief system (or lack thereof) describes and you time loop back to being a preteen or something. Most death loops are restrained to specific events, but this one just restarts whenever you die of old age.
I imagine it would be less bothersome and frustrating than a conventional time loop, since it’s a pretty large breadth of experience. Just the concept of that happening freaks me out a bit. Like, this is all you will ever do for eternity, like a really mundane hell or heaven, depending on your perspective.
how sometimes a game will create what feels like replica’s of your alive brother and your dead uncle and your great grandmother, so when you have to send them off it makes a feeling way worse then it should be, so you spend hours praying to a god that you don’t even believe in because you miss your family????
