A mediocre mystery adventure game with Sakura Taisen characters in a supporting role.
While the character banter between the Paris girls is decent enough, the majority of the game focuses on its original characters which quite frankly aren't too interesting. The actual narrative is acceptable for the most part but nothing I was too invested in. What makes it a bit more frustrating is that the game doesn't clue you in on where to go most of the time which means you gotta click through the entire map once again until you find the next event. For some reason all the new character designs look really amateurish and ugly, they've all got really desaturated coloring to them with no contrast that makes them look really cheaply drawn. Most of the assets are just taken from Sakura Taisen 3 from the sprites to soundtrack. Ending is shockingly abrupt too, and some of the tail end plot twists were kinda stupid. Since they wanted to make this a sub-series of its own the game DOES have some loose ends too. The only nice thing about the game is that the majority of it is fully voiced and when the girls are bantering about it is entertaining. There's also a decent amount of bonus content but with the main game so weak I'm not exactly excited over it.
It would've been much better if they just made a slice of life story with the Paris girls, maybe starring Erica as the lead or Oogami again, just change the timeline around a bit. This one just sucks.
