“I didn't know what to expect with this game but I absolutely loved it, it may not be for everyone but for me it's a 10/10. Heartwarming, silly and very fun to play. The characters are lovely, music is great, the world…”
“Finally a Yakuza game that gets rid of all the tedious crime and leaves only the offbeat sidequests and unreasonably well developed business management simulation.”
“Loved the game, felt like I was playing an elaborate Yakuza business mini game in the best way possible. But it did feel like the devs had ideas that they didn't implement fully, hoping they do with any sequels they may…”

“This is one of my favourite games, its just so unique. It feels like a cross between a yakuza minigame and a fever dream. The graphics, the story, the soundtrack? Incredible. I really would recommend this”

“TLDR - Great if you're looking a bizzare and quirky open-world-mystery adventure. There is so much to do, and everything is amazingly weird. And odd. Hidden gem! Long version: Ever since Paradise Killer, I was wondering…”
“It's rare that I consider a game "perfect" but I think this one warrants that title. There are zero things I could complain about. I have nothing but praise for it. I'm not saying that it is the best game or that…”

“This game is fun but the mini game with the macots needs to be updated so I can skip the repetitive dialogue. If I've read it once, I've read it a hundred times. Literally.”

“Driving and upgrading the tiny truck is absurdly fun. Visual design is excellent across the board and I ended up loving a lot of characters. It's funny which mascots I felt drawn to, especially when they weren't really…”
“In Promise Mascot Agency you're an outcast yakuza who's meant to make some money by running the local mascot agency placed in this small town that seems to be stuck in the past. The gameplay isn't all that challenging,…”
“I really enjoyed this game a lot. Towards the end I felt like the story was dragging a bit but it felt like it was trying to tie up any loose ends that the story introduced so I wasn't mad about that. Now that I'm RICH…”

“I want to marry Ichigo Love That aside, this game scratched a very, very deep and old itch that Yakuza once did. It’s silly, it’s sleazy, it’s heartwarming, and it’s a masterwork of dialogue and characterization—plus…”

— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“Promise Mascot Agency is best described as a story-heavy management game. You'll be collecting mascots, sending them out on jobs and driving around the map to complete objectives, talk to people and find collectibles/helpful items. The gameplay is pretty simple, as far as…”
