So I mentioned the other day that I'm writing about Prison Princess for Nintendo Life… I thought for today's post (or perhaps one of two posts today — I still need to catch up some more) I'd share a few screenshots that will perhaps give you an idea why I, rather than Angry Scotsman, was recruited to cover this one.

The two princesses are pretty awesome. I believe each was designed by a different artist; they contrast nicely, and in more than just looks, too.

The game is a point-and-click adventure, which is actually quite unusual to see these days, particularly from Japan. Rather than having fully animated sprites, though, the girls simply "appear" in various locations around the room in various poses according to what they're doing or looking at.

If you like bums, you'll enjoy this game.

I mean, really enjoy this game. These timed puzzle sequences where the princesses are attempting to accomplish something are fully animated with the full glory of Live2D.

I love Live2D. Whoever invented it needs a knighthood or something.

Lewd bits aside, the game is actually pretty good. I'd say it's quite short, but it's a point-and-click adventure, so 4 hours is actually quite long when you consider you can blast through a King's Quest or equivalent in 90-120 minutes in most cases. Assuming you know what you're doing.
Anyway, I'll refrain from talking too much about the game now as I have to save something for the review! Thought you might want to see some screens, though.
