He’s always going to have that air of obfuscating stupidity to him, and he’s always a total pervert.
Unlike some games, you have no control whatsoever over Haru’s personality or appearance. This brings me to another reason I’d recommend it to AT fans, and that’s the relationships between the characters, especially Haru and whoever you pick to pursue (I went with Hiroyuki first). Personally these are the kind of stories I like. I have the feeling this is the sort of ending that a story like Acid Town could have: not necessarily a happy ending, but one that fits. Some characters’ fates are totally up to you, but it will always take account of who the characters are and justify the ending no matter what you pick. Some characters in the story die no matter what you do. The writers had enough respect for the characters not to twist them into endings that don’t fit them. Life is dark and complex and things don’t always end happily. There’s a few things that would make me recommend this one for Acid Town fans, and one of them I’ve already mentioned: the endings. Luckily there’s a “skip” mode that will skip over already read text if you’re like me and want to dump a bunch of time into seeing all the different outcomes. Some cases are left a bit open-ended, and the way they turn out is sometimes better or worse depending on what character you chose to pursue. Each time the story’s completed it also unlocks a “spoiler mode” that shows more of the characters’ thoughts and what’s really going on behind the scenes. There is a lot of inherent replay value, because not every character is involved in every aspect of the story, and the only way to see everything is to play through the game several times and make different choices. If you’re the type of person whose idea of a good ending for a BL story is that the two characters end up happily ever after, you might be very disappointed by this game (that’s how I got it my friend got frustrated with constantly running into bad endings and dumped it on me last year before I moved away). Often the best result is just that everyone escapes relatively unscathed from the story path. There is only one “true” ending for each character, and notice, that’s “true” – not “good”. Each character path has a number of “bad endings”, usually resulting in the death either of the main character or the pursued character. It’s not immediately clear whether to push the button or not, so it’s easy to make the wrong choice. The cases they take on often cross over with yakuza matters despite the colorful artwork, this is actually a very dark game with a story that delves into the worst things humans will inflict on each other.ĭespite being a “game” there is actually very little interaction, and most of the story plays out fairly linearly with the only choices being which character you want to pursue, as well as the occasional pop up of the “No, Thank You!” button. Many of the other staff members of the bar have experienced things in life that either make them unsuitable for a normal, respectable life, or are pursuing their own cases. The man he saved gives him a job at a jazz bar, and Haru quickly becomes involved with the owner’s real business: a sort of detective agency that takes on cases that the police won’t touch. As a result of the accident, Haru develops a temporary amnesia for his entire identity. You play a character dubbed “Haru”, who saves one of the main characters from being hit by a car in the beginning of the game and gets hit instead. The game is almost completely voiced in Japanese with English subtitles. No, Thank You!!! is a pornographic (and totally uncensored) BL game, with an English release by Manga Gamer. Now that I’ve dumped a bunch of hours into this game lately, I thought I’d share some of my thoughts on it, partly because I think it’s a game Acid Town fans might find interesting.
