Anyone else remember how sexy Joanna Dark was in that two page advertisement?

Did she always have spiral pupils and a weird scar on her cheek?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Yes. The pupils were generally only visible in the pre-rendered videos.

Amicus.

I never really crushed on VG characters before or since. And it's not even really a video game (it's a VN). 🤷‍♂️

Dustin Broke from The Sims 2. He tried to help his family while her stay-at-home mum is pregnant and her husband drown from a pool. I was rooting for him, even if he was a getaway driver.
