How far will you go to help your family? Would you lend them some money? Help them to build a business to secure their future? Get exiled to a cursed town to turnaround a failing business while slowly dying? If you chose the last option, then you may have to check you have not transformed into Michi, the main character of weird and thoroughly charming Promise Mascot Agency.

Promise Mascot Agency is a weird, flawed experience. You spend most of your time driving around this tiny town, chatting up a series of total weirdos. You’ve got a short list of tasks to complete, a lot of money to make, and a lot of fires to put out. But all of it is so engaging, so charming and fun, that you don’t mind one bit. This town is a complete, well-crafted world full of compelling characters and fascinating stories. Plus, the core gameplay loop is addictive and butter-smooth. I don’t know exactly how to recommend this game, but I...

Thanks to its genuinely intriguing narrative and collection of quirky characters, there's a lot to love about Promise Mascot Agency, and some players will simply adore it. This open-world adventure pretty much revolves around collecting items, however, and some elements of the game quickly become nothing more than a chore.

Driving around a spooky and mysterious Japanese town in a souped-out Kei truck is a surprising amount of fun. The business management is simple but deep enough to keep players engaged, and the gripping, mysterious story of the town will keep you engaged from start to finish.

Promise Mascot Agency's oddball, sometimes grotesque characters are actually incredibly charming, and the town of Kaso-machi is great to explore. These yakuza-managed living mascots can be messy mechanically thanks to poor balancing, but I'm won over by its truly immaculate and bizarre vibes. It's hard not to love the result, even if it could be a lot tighter.

For the myriad of things that Promise Mascot Agency sets out to do, I never felt like it was overreaching or losing its sense of self. Every aspect of this game feels tailored to a curated experience that feels equally inspired and trailblazing its own direction. Everything comes together in an almost flawless symphony that I can’t help but love.

The least amicable city council meeting you've ever attended and probably the best game you'll play this year.

Promise Mascot Agency has the energy of a long-forgotten, experimental PS2 game that may have only been played by 12 people, but those 12 people would defend with their lives. Its combination of story and design is unorthodox to say the least, but somehow, this open world crime drama management sim makes it all work.

Promise Mascot Agency's Kaso-Machi is an unforgettable setting packed with mysteries, mascots, and chaos. It somehow crams together almost any genre you might care to mention, from management sim to open-world RPG, and it does it all with style and heart.

Promise Mascot Agency blends driving, money management and talking blocks of tofu to create a gleefully weird game that demands your attention.

Promise Mascot Agency excels in precisely the areas you'd expect from the folks behind Paradise Killer – it's a phenomenal aesthetic piece and a genuinely gripping, off-kilter crime drama. The management gameplay at its core proves to be a bit surface level, sometimes even intrusive, but there’s an undercurrent of beautiful weirdness here that makes even the iffiest contracts worth signing.

Promise Mascot Agency does a lot of things, and does most of them rather well. The result is an unusual genre mish-mash that takes a little while to get going, but once it does, is quite hard to put down.

Promise Mascot Agency is a delightfully bonkers blend of Japanese crime drama, business management sim, card-battler, and open-world collect-a-thon. No aspect of the game goes very deep, but developer Kaizen Game Works has threaded the needle here, creating an engaging “lite” version of several video game subgenres.

Come to Kaso-Machi for the Yakuza intrigue, stay for the gang of weirdo workers in costumes you’ve actually got to treat pretty decently.

When I first arrive in Kaso-Machi, it feels like I’ve stepped into a ghost town. The Japanese island at the center of Promise Mascot Agency, the latest game from Paradise Killer studio Kaizen Game Works, is awash in a brown haze. It’s eerily quiet, with no bodies walking through its streets. I assume it’s fully abandoned, but that’s not the case. It’s simply been run into poverty by a mayor who couldn’t care less about the well-being of his constituents. For the next 15 hours, I make it my personal mission to right that wrong, bringing life back to a...

Promise Mascot Agency offers the most unrealistic power fantasy for today's day and age; owning and running a successful business

What if mascots were real, living beings? What if you could hire them for promotional events? What if a giant block of tofu had crippling anxiety? Promise Mascot Agency, the new title from Kaizen Game Works, is the only game brave enough to answer these questions. It’s a strange blend of management sim, open-world exploration, visual novel, crime drama, and “The Simpsons: Hit & Run”-esque driving adventure. That combination might sound baffling on paper, but once you hop into the driver...
