The story follows a protagonist-default name Teuta-with the mysterious power to jump back a short amount in time into another person’s body as she is inevitably swept into the undercurrent of crimes, corruption, and cover-ups that plague New Sieg. As a visual novel, it features an underlying plot that reaches across the fictional New York-esque city of New Sieg. Yet the misses compile, drops in a bucket that form a wave at once spectacular in its ambition and tragic in its fleetingness.īustafellows is fairly ambitious for an otome game. These concepts are tough targets to land, and as Bustafellows rushes headlong into these sometimes painful truths, it’s impressive how many bulls-eyes it makes. But it’s tragically complete all the same. But that would be too perfect, wouldn’t it? And this world we inhabit isn’t at all perfect-it’s ruled by power, which is granted by wealth and propagates greed, and there are oftentimes things that are entirely out of our control that we simply can’t understand. Naturally, we seek completion in our lives, every exchange a give and take, excess spilling over to fill in pockets of emptiness. Our actions define our lives and touch others in ways both perceptible and not, resulting in complete existences in a complete world.
