At some point, my quest to own every true blue, dyed-in-the-wool traditional Japanese dating sim morphed into "let's buy as many retro console galge as humanly possible (that have mechanics of some sort and aren't just visual novels)," a mission that continues to this very day because guess who just spent 5000 yen on the mahjong spinoff of D3's Dream Club series. 🥹
I'm pretty sure this is the only full-on console mahjong game released in the 2010s that goes to the trouble of rendering the players as polygons like it's the height of games of this ilk on the PS1 (we're not counting Yakuza games here) and I'm a sucker for games that go to that sort of trouble for better or worse, so money well spent just for that alone?
I dunno.
But it's finally in my life now and that's what counts.
