I’m not sure what to say about this game. With most games I’m calling for more jank…with Promise Mascot Agency, I think…I think it has more than enough jank. I’m not exactly going to ask it to dial it down though. It can toe the line just fine. Probably due to the fact that your mascot partner in crime is a uhh…severed toe mascot named Pinky.

Pinky is probably the weirdest of the bunch in the demo, which also includes some wet tofu, a burial mound or something, and uhh a cat really into adult videos. As Michi, you’re an ex-yakuza, sent off to a town that is cursed and kills yakuza…somehow, to earn back money for the family or die trying. You run this mascot agency out of an abandoned love hotel, and as you work to get more mascots, complete more jobs, you can upgrade it’s facilities and your mascots stats. Also, there is some sort of thing where it sounds like you’ll take on the mayor as well? It’s a lot of driving and minigames and weirdness.

The demo is sadly a time limited deal, so there is only so much driving around and exploring you can do once you’re past the tutorial. The game itself releases in a few days on April 10th if it does grab you, which, if you’re weirdo, it probably does.
