Only to realize too late that I’d missed some key Adam events and that I’d been raising the stats for Benito. So, for my first playthrough I attempted to romance Adam. LOOK AT THAT CUTIE!! Friendzoned on the First Playthrough with Benito But, I’d be lying if I said the cute megane TA didn’t also catch my eye. However, those routes are merely subsets of the main romance paths. Of the main romance options I was most interested in Adam and Matthew. There are different types of relationship options for folks looking for a non traditional romance experience. Including one asexual character and a female character.

You can also achieve friendship ends with some of the side characters. While those are the only “romanceable” options. There are four pursuable characters: Adam, Sian’s Best Friend 4 Lyfe and an up and coming musician Benito, a jail bait cutie young street magician that hangs around Sian’s school John, a famous actor currently moonlighting as Adam’s music producer and Matthew, a shy model with an overbearing mother and a secret fear of women. On top of that there are a whole host of mini games, events, and wardrobe options that also add a bit more substance to the overall gameplay experience.

The opening and ending themes I could live without, the vocalist is just a bit too upbeat for my tastes. But the opening and credits scenes were animated by Studio DEEN and boy are they crisp. I must say, this is a huge step up from their first game in terms of content and quality. Not only does the game feature a full English voice cast, some of which have worked on some pretty big anime voice over gigs. Though there are a few Easter eggs here and there, for anyone who played the first game. The funny thing is Backstage Pass has absolutely nothing to do with RE: Alistar. So when I saw that they were working on a spiritual successor to RE: Alistar I was over the moon. I played SakeVisual’s first game, RE:Alistar ages ago, and I absolutely loved it.
