I am not even like 15 minutes in and I already absolutely love this game haha. The custom names for everyone is such a nice touch. As a wrestling fan this is just a good time. Do the choices matter though? I don't want to make the wrong choices.
Thank you, glad you're enjoying it! Choices DO matter to an extent, but they mostly influence how certain people act towards you, rather than affecting the overall story. For example, if you're constantly mean to Mirai, she's going to remember that going forward, and will act differently than if you were more affectionate. That said, you'll always be given a chance to correct things later if you find your relationship with anyone going in a way you don't like. There are no 'right or wrong' choices, just play it how you feel is right for you, and you'll be fine :)
Appreciate the reply! One last question for ya, if you choose "hate" with Saki does it lock you into that for the rest of the game? Curiosity may have killed the cat on that one haha.
Also I appreciate all the actual hidden wrestler names in here. I guess my mind could be drawing conclusions where there aren't any but my brain associates Sunset Manami with Manami Toyota, Jumbo Tsushima with Jumbo Tsuruta, ect ect. Iron Head feels like a strange cross between Mitsuharu Misawa, Minoru Suzuki and Tully Blanchard (mostly because Tessa) aswell lmao. Good stuff.
No, you won't get locked in to any particular fetish, you'll always get the option to choose whichever one you want :) And good work on those names, you're spot on with both Sunset and Jumbo, haha! With Iron Head, I honestly didn't write him with any particular wrestler in mind, he's more of an amalgamation of lots of shady promotors, but the Tully comparison makes a lot of sense! There are a lot more of these kind of 'easter eggs' in the game, so let me know if you find any more :)
Found tons more, or atleast think I did haha. Obviously Kenta Misawa is Mitsuharu and Kobashi, and I believe Outback Mac is a play on Thumbtack Jack? and more I just can't think of now. I'm a bit new to japanese wrestling and joshi in particular (mostly familiar with the 4 pillars, Hayabusa & Jinsei and a few women from FMW/AJW) so some are a tad lost on me, Manami Hokuto is Akira Hokuto i believe. Finished the game, it's incredible and there is such an insane amount of content. If i can ever afford it I will deff join the patreon. This is genuinely one of the best games i've ever played on this site and like might be up there with the headmaster for me. I cannot give it enough praise.
I do seem to be missing 2 scenes though. #7 on page 2 and #1 on page 3. I don't think I skipped over anything, mind filling me in on what they are?
Thank you so much, it's always great to hear that people are enjoying the game! :) You are, again, right on the money with your name catches there, haha! As to the 'missing' stuff, I'm guessing you mean in the replay gallery? There are a few scenes where choices can add or remove a scene, for example, there's Saki's cosplay scene which is one of the ones you're missing. If you choose the 'Ann' cosplay, you miss the 'Tifa' one, and vice versa, and there's another choice with Mirai that works out in slightly different ways depending on how you've been treating her. There aren't a lot of scenes you can lock yourself out from, but I'll try to work out some way for everyone to unlock anything they've missed for the next vesion :)
