Bustafellows is an excellent game, for longtime otome game players and people who had to google what an otome game is before reading the rest of this review.

You get an intense thriller, a heart melting romance, and an easy breezy slice of life all in one game!

The love interests are extremely endearing, even in routes besides their own, and their deep bonds with each other permeate the entire game. It's ruminations on grief, justice, and the nature of a true self are deeply compelling. It gets surprisingly dark and violent, for anyone who likes their romances with a little more stakes.

There is some issues. Such as the noticeable typos through out every route, text going outside of the textbox a few times, the game not wanting to decide how to spell a couple names (Zora/Zola for example) and the lack of subtitles for the videos is kind of an egregious oversight. There's also some pacing issues, as the common route is extremely long and a lot of the big endgame twists and turns are run through as fast as possible. But even with all of that, it's not enough to make me hate this game.

I think everyone who is even mildly interested should give it a try. And, the more money they get for the first one, the more likely they'll be to localize the sequel!
