The premise is straightforward: You take care of an unknown, seemingly amnestic girl whom you stop from committing suicide. Depending on her attitude towards you, the living conditions in your apartment or her stress levels, she may try to take her life again. The game revolves around you trying to discover her background while keeping her from harming herself. You do this by buying food and books for her, purchasing furniture for your room, interacting with her either by talking about what she is currently doing or playing a console game with her.

The world map has several locations, though most serve only their purpose in few specific routes – your trips will mainly be to the convenience store, the pawn shop and the aquarium.

You enter a route by choosing specific options in the context menu (such as selecting 'investigate' at the police department), exploring the mountain, purchasing a specific piece of furniture or a set of furniture, having her stats above a certain level or a combination of the above.

Now, some routes can be obvious in regards what to do next, as they disable interactions that were previously available (like at the aforementioned police department), or explicitly tell you what you should do next. Others, on the other hand, might require a little bit of experimentation to reach and complete.

The game has around 20 endings. Completing at least one unlocks NG+ options that can either increase the difficulty or make the game easier. This also adds the credit CG for that ending to the gallery. The gallery also serves the purpose of giving a hint on how to reach each ending. However, as I already mentioned, some routes are not as straightforward as others, and the hint may not be enough to reach an ending.

One of my gripes is that the locations on the map feel underused. There are locations like the park or the creek, but they serve no purpose except in an ending or two. Why can’t we go on a picnic, or take a hike to the top of the mountain? Options like these would make the game feel more open.

I really enjoy the visuals and the style this game went with. The music, while simple, complements the overall PC-98 aesthetic that the game aims to emulate. Each ending that I reached was interesting, though it was obvious that some had more effort put into them than others.

Hooked me pretty good, dunno even why, as I never really was into CRPGs. There were some issues that I had, small and large, but not something which would make me unable to recommend the game.

Overall a downgrade compared to both the first and second game. Such downgrades off top of my head include but are not limited to:
"Lobbies" running on servers instead of being P2P
Little to do in said lobbies
Little to none preplanning
No chat before the heist
Having to wait 60s after the end of the heist to stay with your party
Not being able to change your loadout after the start of the heist, even after a restart
UI not showing how much ammo your teammates have
Progression being tied to challenges instead of loot from heists
"Online only" (There is an offline mode baked in game accessible through mods)
Matchmaking being the only way to find a game
Servers not working half the time

Great story, great characters, great soundtrack, good combat (for RPGmaker) and some good porn scenes.
I noticed it being shilled in one certain place for multiple days which prompted me to check it out. And now, I can without any sense of doubt say, that it indeed is KINO ROOTS.

yes

I remember when this game came out from beta, it was in sale too so I bought it. When I dowload it I didn t think it would be something special,man how I was wrong.

+Gameplay
+Dificulty (tho some just people play 2nd game cuz it is easyer(I am not counting OD))
+Graphic (on when it was relesed it is not bad)
+Comunity (2nd game: Lvl 21 joins hard dif. get kicked intantly if host is infamy 1 1st game: lvl 10 joins normal heat street with host being 135-haha you guess it!! (How I said, 1st game is harder: PTH Normal=PD2 Overkill (With skills of corse)))
+-People playing this (Most peoples plays 2nd game and thats ok,but it is sad how almost nobody plays it
-Maps (there really is no problem with it,just that there are 8 maps(2 of them are from DLC but that is ok))
-Overdrill (It is nice to have something like OVD in game,gives you easy level up,problem is that it can be done on every dif. that means easy and everybody will ask: Overdrill? If you say no 50% of time they will leave.On opiside side in PD2 you will never hear OVD,why? Cuz it is on Dw but that is ok, tho you have to move all 60 bags of gold that will take you about 30 mins(if everyone disconet then 3h))

So is it a good game?
YES-But i rocemend to buy it at sale if it is possible if not it is ok but it can be 90% off

10/10 Would Cheeki Breeki again

Don't listed to those reviews with 50 hours a max, those are just newbies that got a game for free and now are trying to complain about something else, even if you given them every DLC, every event Mask, even a Completly Overkill Pack (was limited edition, now it might cost over 100$) they would still complain, hell, there is sale where you get content worth of 200$ for 45 (25 if you own the game)
Gameplay-A tactical horde game where comunication is cruisal 8/10
Player Base-After the "5 mil free copis" there are about 200k players online (3rd steam highest) community is pretty solid, tho you can get kicked if you join higher games (50 hours joins DW/OD) 8/10
Playstile-With having a 5 skilltrees and bout 15 and more Perks you can make pretty good decks orientanted for diffrent thing. Most popular would be: Dodge,Heavy Armor and Stealth 10/10
Drop sistem-Every time you complete a mission you go to end screen where you can select between 3 cards, the cards can have: A mask, mask color, mask pattern, Weapon Modification, stat modification, cash or XP.
The create (safe) sistem works pretty well, every 7 days you get one safe if you have minimally 8 hours (saves can be sold for 0.50 cents) 9.5/10
Costumazion-Payday 2 has some good costumazion with masks, tho some look better withou them 9/10
DLC-Bout 60%of the contet is locked behind the DLCs, witch after the UE will be only 25€,tho there are some usless ones 4/10
8/10
