Finished the game, and ngl, this is probably the best game I've played in a while.

There's some minor graphical bugs here and there, but girl, Hunter might just be one of my new all time faves. I won't spoil it, but the twists and turns the game makes are so exciting.

Definitely need to play more.

That's not a bad thing! Hunter is a good person, nothing wrong with a bit of idealism

I hope you like the game! I can see from your YouTube channel you like Persona inspired games, which is what I usually do, but hte structure in this one is more inspired from the Yakuza games. Hopefully it works out!
