Kaizen Game Works, the studio known for the success of Paradise Killer, has recently announced its upcoming game titled Promise Mascot Agency. This new project promises to be a blend of open-world exploration, mascot management, and crime drama, all set in a quirky and surreal Japanese setting.
The premise of Promise Mascot Agency is unlike anything seen before in the gaming industry. Players take on the role of an exiled yakuza lieutenant banished to a cursed Japanese town. Their mission is to restore a rundown mascot agency that caters to Japanese mascots in need. These mascots, often quirky and misfit characters, have their own hopes, dreams, and desires that players must navigate to recruit them.
As the sole operator of Promise Mascot Agency, players work alongside their rotund mascot sidekick Pinky to recruit and manage various mascots. From a cube of tofu named To-Fu to other eccentric characters, each mascot comes with unique challenges and abilities. Players must train, manage stress levels, and help these mascots overcome obstacles using Hero Cards with stat-boosting effects.
Beyond mascot management, players can explore the town of Kaso-Machi in a beat-up but upgradeable flying truck. Along the way, they encounter a cast of wacky characters, earn new Hero Cards, and immerse themselves in the surreal world created by Kaizen Game Works. The addition of an onsen allows players to take a break from the chaos and unwind in the midst of the madness.
