Jacob I find your closing statements to always be entertaining xD You guys do such a good job getting out more review content than 99% of channels, while also fully reviewing it without being padded, and the different voices and styles of the reviewers is a great touch :)
My problem with this game isn't that our protagonist has to be saved, it's that she herself literally makes outright dumb decisions that put her in those situations to begin with, making her the prime definition of the "too stupid to live" trope sadly. I also thought this game would be way more intriguing and action packed since we're dealing with the mafia and I'm kinda disappointed the majority of what happens in the first few chapters is just characters sitting around talking, sometimes about pointless things. Idk if that changes later or not, but I had to put it down because I was pretty bored with it overall.
that´s an overstatement. tbh I did wish that Liliana would have stood up more for herself in certain scenes but still she has inner strength, too. I think it is kind of unfair to throw all mcs who aren´t either physically strong or "super assertive" in this category...true though, she does get kidnapped a lot :p
Thank you for this review. A person whose taste I trust really didn't enjoy the game, but I kept seeing recommendations for it everywhere, so I was starting to think that I should give it a shot. This review convinced me that the game really isn't my cup of tea at all. Thank you for helping me save a lot of frustration and money. X)
Thank you for the honest review! I fully appreciate that some people enjoy the game for the boys, but personally I'm more in for the stories so this helped me decide in not getting the game because it wouldn't be my cup of tea
I don't have problem with dasmel in stress girl or crazy dark love interests BUT I am more interested in the guys and the story Does the story have any more depth to it?
Pio Fiore love interests are very good, they're not the type than you see usually in a otome game, mainly because they're multishades characters. They're personnality change depending with who you side on and that fit well with the mafia universe.
I got the game but quit because the MC Liliana was just too naïve for my taste. I thought her birthmark was going to bring an interesting plot point but I was wrong.
I seen this game on ebay so I was looking online trying to find what type of game this is, but couldn't find information, so I watch this review and it dosn't mention the genre either, from the video it looks like a visual novel but maybe mention the genre at the begining of the review.
Main story done, few good and bad ends too, not interesting to continue just to complete CG (!). I am disapointend that one end is missing (you'll understand if you played it, I do not want to spoil, what would happened if...) Lots of futile blabla which gave me headache, I used a lot option to switch dialogues. The plot is good, well the game could be better with a smart girl ... Usually Aksys make things better. Sorry but a 6/10.
I only like Orlok in the game...His soft spoken voice, demeanor, characteristics and art style (love his hoodie), makes me fall for him. Unfortunately, his route suffers from a crappy plot and lack of romance. The damsel annoys me further when she kept wanting to visit the church, eventhough she is well aware of the fact, it would put dear Orlok in danger. Foolish really... His short story is joke! Yes, he is a disciple but that does mean he should be portrayed as an 18 year old who does not know what love and sex are... Emilio had to sort of 'guide' him... Seriously Aksys? If, there is sequel, I hope they come out with a better romantic scenes for him...or as someone who had spent money on the game, I would not be impressed... Dante - needs to loosen up more. Nicola- a hypocrite...all he does is tell lies, yet a high honesty is required for a perfect ending on his route. Gilbert- Boring and too soft to be a mafia. He should be the Mayor of Creta instead... Yang- Has no respect for women, no regards for the people in his life, plus his own. He should be in a straitjacket and tucked away on a deserted island...
I deadass cracked up when you said Gil should be Mayor of Creta. It just fit so well! I think he gives people more money than he does extorting locals for money like an actual mafia boss would do lolol. The whole time I was waiting for the dudes to actually do something that would make me believe they were organized crime groups, but the only one that seemed to have the awfulness of their business highlighted was Yang and Lao-Shu. Yang straight up was just a Villain no matter what route he was in, which was pretty funny to me personally. He doesn't turn into some likable dude in his own route, you're just dating a villain, so he actually ended up being the most consistent character in the entire game.

Going to give it a try. On sale for € 35 now. Hoping to support more otome games to come in english to the switch.
I wish there wasn’t damsel in distress. I hate that

And thank you for taking the time to watch :)
I so agree with this. And I'm only on my first route. Cant play daily cuz of Lilliana
I don't have problem with dasmel in stress girl or crazy dark love interests
BUT I am more interested in the guys and the story
Does the story have any more depth to it?

He mentioned it's an otome game. And that in a way has become a genre with in of itself.

Nothing is worse than a weak ass protagonist. Can we stop this damn trope already? I love VN’s but this is so old.
