Definitely looks charming and it captures the style of the show well, but what a bizarre way to approach doing a tie-in game for it. I'd think it'd be like more of a stealth game or something.

Not the SpyxFamily game I expected, yet it surprisingly works!

I was expecting they'd give you chances to play as Loid and Yor with their own gameplay styles...but that might be a bit too much.

I wonder if you use Anya's telepathy for more than just cheating at cards.

Also, no dub?

Funnily enough, I do think this approach fits SpyxFamily more than a stealth game would and, if I'm going to be honest, there are a lot of really good stealth games and franchises out there already, plus messing up a stealth game, is very easy.

If anything, while SpyxFamily got some action in it sometimes, it's at heart a more slice of life comedic franchise, and even the sections with Spywork wouldn't mesh well with the tone most action stealth games go for. Lloyd's work reminds me more of something like Through the Darkest of Times/This War of Mine than something like Dishonored/Thief/Mark of the Ninja.

Hell yes! Was just about to check since I recently sold my Switch and now do all my gaming and visual novels on my laptop. Definite buy!
