my favorite game in the nmh series &, in my opinion, one of the best grasshopper manufacturer games ever!! it's rare to see a game dive into the pain & stress that goes on in game development but i think that's what makes tsa feel all the more special, u rlly get to see all the sweat, tears, & blood that go into games & how that can affect a person

overall i think the game's theme of self identity & finding purpose in life is strangely touching in a way. yea they may be assassins but in the end, travis & badman are just two men trying to pick up whatever shards of their broken lives still remain. u can't move forward w/ regrets holding u down, u have to let go & accept that life goes on, w/ or w/o u

my favorite game ever of all time in the whole entire world!!!! from it's art to it's music to it's story & characters p3p is a never ending source of inspiration to me, seriously, i can't imagine my life w/o it. p3p truly does mean the world to me

the game's message of "yes, one day u will die, but the time u have in this world is precious. the world may be cruel & unforgiving at times & make it seem like death is the only way out but, as long as u have a reason to keep on living, u can fight for a better tomorrow" is heart touching. maybe it's a little silly to say but it gives me the courage to keep on fighting too

i'll stop myself here b4 this becomes an essay but rlly, if ur interested pls check it out! it has it's flaws ofc, no game is perfect after all, but p3p rlly is such a shining star of a game, i think everyone should play it at least once :]

This review contains spoilers

this game's ending makes me SOOOOO mad. it has a pretty good setup w/ the brother keeping secrets & being a genuine threat but as soon as it's revealed that the main girl (idr her name it's been years since i've played this game) was behind the murders it all just went down the drain. the whole plot stops making sense after that & i still don't understand how or why one of her victims survived & helps her cover her tracks. also maybe this is just me but after that reveal i feel like the game just kinda turns into "oooOOo mental illness scary OOooOOoo"

when i was like 7 i got stuck in a part of this game & it made me so mad that i bit my ds & broke it

tsubasa should've been the protag. like literally the entire story is about her becoming an idol, why is itsuki even there...... he's genuinely one of the most milquetoast protags i've ever played as u could get rid of him & nothing would change

i think this game counts as a form of psychological torture, u literally could not pay me to play this shit again. music goes hard tho i'll give them that
