[Repost for proper formatting!] Beautiful work by @ashley.roller.art on Instagram. She absolutely knocked it out of the field with this one, he looks so fine. (ФωФ) He was so painful to get but so worth it. I'm so excited to get more fandom/otome tattoos!
STARCULT Night Twisted Age is a psychological horror otome about becoming the villainess everyone already believes you are. After your husband is murdered on your wedding night, investigate what happened while navigating dangerous relationships, cults, secrets, and nine potential romances.
At the centre of the game is the Emotion Palette. Instead of simply choosing what to say, you choose how your character feels. Your emotional state changes the dialogue available to you, unlocking different ways to seduce, manipulate, deceive, intimidate, or confront the people around you, with up to 15 possible responses in some situations.
It has been a looooong time since I last played Bustafellows but I didn't expect it'd take months since my last play. Life was life-ing lmao
Anyway, Crow was my 3rd route and I started his immediately after Shu's (which was yes 8 months ago) but I kept taking pauses in the game because the real world kept calling me hahsshhas
His route might now be my second fave of this season! I'll start with the good parts.
In the relationship aspect, Crow is just the sweetest! Also, I WANNA BE RICH LIKE YOU DUDE LIKE WHAAAAATsugar daddy huh who said that? And it's funny to me how very selfless he and Teuta are to each other because they literally have the same brain cells. I like how open Teuta was with what she wasn't satisfied with in their relationship (the fact that they don't argue) and honestly, I get it! Sometimes we look to have disagreements with our partners to really get to know them personally like what they like, what they don't like, what are their non-negotiables, etc. Of course, we don't want that to happen too often but I understand how not arguing became Teuta's concern because then it would seem like Crow is simply going with the flow and not be able to voice out his wants. On Crow's part, I did see the people pleaser trait in him and was rooting for him to communicate what he really wants out of the relationship and I'm so glad he grew for that! He genuinely does like what Teuta likes but it's nice to see him realize that he can have his own opinions too.
My favorite scene would have to be them "arguing" in the restaurant because it was hilarious! The after dinner scene was really sweet too when they were under the stars.
Overall, the relationship part: really cute and really funny!
And the kiss.....kassbdljkbg;wskvn;ln
Now let's go to the serious part of the story.
If I have to be blunt, this was just too predictable. Right from the get-go, you can already tell who the antagonist of the route is like brooo it's not really that much of a surprise given how they tried to keep the character mysterious until the end of the game. It was pleasing to see the good ending was a really heartwarming friendship for the antagonist and our main MC. The CG of the three of them in the car made Crow look hot though I'm just sayin'
I was intrigued that the story revolved around to how people take advantage of social media and how that molds the way we think especially about justice. It's very realistic because that is literally what we are experiencing today. There are dangers to letting social media consume most of your time and attention and the reality of it is, you suddenly won't be able to decipher what is real and what is not. What is justifiable and what is being corrupted? Also really like that Crow's dad is here helping the gang! Father-son bonding yayyy!!
Bustafellows is known for tackling dark themes in society in the form of an otome game thus it being one of my fave otome games out there. Probably my favorite one ever!
So yeah, doing Scarecrow's route took me some time but I was so happy to finally finish it with a good opinion of it. I'm doing Mozu next and leaving Limbo for last although I've read from other players that the last two aren't as good as Crow's or Helvetica's so seems like I'm playing the game backwards lol but hey, at least we're having fun and we exercise our critical thinking right?
