SPOILERS AND PERSONAL OPINION

This is a short mobile otome game where you are free to romance sushi ingredients such as egg, tuna, salmon, and more.

The game is designed in a format of a visual novel. As the story progresses, the protagonist can choose to react or reply differently in certain situations, which affects the affinity level for the characters. Depending on the choices made, a happy, normal or bad ending can be reached for the characters.

Even though the game is no longer available now, I still want to make a review of this game as it was one of the earlier games I have played with a yandere character featured. Perhaps it is due to the uniqueness of the plotline, I have never forgotten about this short and simple game; the overall atmosphere of the game, and the temperament of the yandere character is still clear in my mind.

I think this is an enjoyable game, even though game is not heavily packed with content. Overall, the storyline is lighthearted and straightforward. I especially enjoyed the bickering between Yuu (the tuna) and Kei (the salmon).

The yandere’s traits was also exhibited amply throughout his route. His possessiveness and extent of obsession with the protagonist was obvious in the gameplay. Even though the game was short, I can say that the yandere trope was done well.
