“He pulls me around, lifting my arm above my head and drawing the blade to my neck.” “I try to see if he’s all right, but Rafael grabs my arm. One flick of his wrist and the Cubi is sent sprawling against the ground.” “Before I know it, Paris is darting in front of me. “I look over to Paris, wavering briefly in my decision, and then Rafael moves towards me.” I can’t do that… I can’t just let you walk into the castle to assassinate someone.” Eventually I decided to keep the flow of the story more linear, but here’s how chapter 5 would have started if you disagreed.Īsh “…No. You could choose whether to agree to help Rafael or not. So originally there was going to be a choice at the end of chapter four.

One important final note: although you can expect very sweet and creative romantic scenes and an overall cute story, there are some sad topics, mild violence, brief nudity, description of intimacy ((¬‿¬)) and strong language, so be aware of that! That’s pretty much it! I genuinely love this game and think it’s totally worth a shot. The writing is pretty good, there are a few surprises in the plot, but nothing too intense, since it is essentially a not too short, but short story.Īlso, for once, my main LI isn’t the “difficult-to-deal-with” guy! Well, not in the jerky kind of way, at least haha Rafael is pretty socially clueless and blunt (which is often hilarious), but a highly-skilled warrior. The MC’s sense of humor is very.hers lol But it’s part of the experience (I enjoyed it a lot!).

The MC and the LI’s are adorable and have personalities that, if not at first, you’ll probably grow to like eventually. When it comes to the story, I think “fun” sums it up really well. Also, all of the visual changes you make will feature on the CG’s! How is this game even free? (To be fair, I could say that about almost every game that I’ve reviewed so far (❁´◡`❁))

The game is fully voiced up to chapter 2 and you can choose a masculine or feminine voice for Ash, having two options for each (they can be high or low pitched).
#The pretenders guild skin#
You can choose her skin tone, species, eyes/hair color, gender of birth, pronouns and, mind you, voice tone. Something that blows me away about it, though, is how much you can customize your MC: This game is a light, somewhat short story that takes place in an alternative world with different species. What follows is an adventure that features schemes, comedy and romance! Of course none of them are actual warriors/escorts, and the guild they are going to present for the job isn’t exactly. In need to make money to survive, they move to a bigger city in the kingdom and end up seeing an advertisement for an escort job that pays really well. In The Pretenders Guild you become Ash, a person who’s recently had to close their restaurant alongside Paris, their best friend, due to absurd tax fees imposed by the king. Is lack of customization options for your MC a deal breaker for you when playing visual novels? HOLD MY REVIEW, I have you covered in this one.
