This is a story of love, learning to love yourself, and owning your identity. It's a welcome message in a world that so often feels filled with hate and obstructions to people who just want to be themselves. It’s not an overly pushed political or social point, but you can’t help but smile as you see underdogs get their chance to overcome and thrive. Weirdos make the best people, after all.

Promise Mascot Agency's Kaso-Machi is an unforgettable setting packed with mysteries, mascots, and chaos. It somehow crams together almost any genre you might care to mention, from management sim to open-world RPG, and it does it all with style and heart.

This game is proof to me that game reviews don’t always make sense — it deserves a much higher score than the one it’s been given here. To briefly describe it: it’s a management game centered around running an agency for “mascots” that you collect from all around the game’s world. Speaking of that world — let me just say, it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. It’s a magical world, and simply driving around in it is a joy on its own. You drive an old car that you can keep on upgrading (to move faster or even FLY), roaming the world in search of mascots. Once you find them, you send them on jobs to earn as much money as possible. You also need to take care of them and maintain good relationships with your employees. The dialogues are engaging and often hilarious, and the companion character, Pinky, is one of the funniest video game characters I’ve encountered. You might not enjoy this game if you’re not into driving or management titles, or if you find dialogue-heavy games boring. But for me personally, the story and its dialogues were top-tier, and the game’s enchanting atmosphere makes it one of my favorite games in recent years. I definitely recommend this game, especially if you're looking for a unique experience.

Promise Mascot Agency is bizarre, hilarious, stylish, and incredibly fun. It gets its hooks into you with its brilliant world-building, wicked sense of humour, and thrilling narrative, then delivers a blend of gameplay systems that combine into something truly unique. There are a few quality-of-life bugbears, but these pale in comparison to the wealth of content that this game has to offer.

Promise Mascot Agency’s a good time. Uniquely charming enough that it doesn’t fall into the trap of being as dry as Michi’s ideal Saturday night, but with enough rough edges that it’d need to work on itself a bit before it could run for mayor of whichever cursed town all of the truly great games inhabit.

It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those looking something unlike anything else out there, Promise Mascot Agency offers a bizarre flavor of storytelling that feels inventive and fresh. It doesn’t have the staying power to keep its repetitive gameplay interesting throughout, but the richness of the world and unapologetic insanity more than make up for its excesses.

There's genuine charm in Promise Mascot Agency that will definitely appeal to audiences already into Japanese culture and crime drama. Just be prepared to wade through the busywork of the management sim side to enjoy it.

I love a ridiculous game straight forward mechanics and plenty to explore, this hit the mark.
I can’t really summarise what genre this is but chances are if you watched the trailer and thought “this is a bit of me” you probably won’t be disappointed.
Only drawbacks is it’s a little easy and a smidge repetitive.
