By day, Ranko Tsukigime is an average high school girl who lives alone, but at night she is a deadly hitman who deftly assassinates her targets. One fateful night as Ranko heads out to eliminate her next target, a demonic enemy organization creeps up and threatens the lives of Ranko and her friends. Players will put their reflexes and quick judgment to the test in the fast-paced platforming gameplay that will have them blazing through dangerous, obstacle-ridden environments to flee from an ominous enemy looming close behind.

may not be the most polished thing around but the sheer idea of producing something like this in any way is inherently endearing to me and the wow of it all helps me look past the rather dull game play segments which i wish carried it's mishmash experimental nature further into being a favorite. however i am happy with this and would gladly play anything that even vaguely approached the idea of making a game in this way at all

TL;DW
The strangest thing on the Playstation Store. It lacks coherence, cohesion, and consistency, it is the most experience.

One of the stranger and unique collaborations in media released alongside a anthology anime film of the same name that includes a short by Katsuhiro Otomo (of Akira fame). Short Peace is a neat little action platformer albeit pretty simple given its short runtime of just over an hour long, but your mainly playing for the story written by Suda51 and the wildly blazing presentation where every cutscene is constantly changing styles.

this game puts you in the mindset of just cutting through the bullshit, living in the moment and just having mindless fun and then hits you with That cutscene at the end and it just makes you go :)

one of those games that makes me feel like everyone working on it had a blast and that's always a good feeling

It might've been Ranko's longest day but this shit is over in like 2 hours lmao.

The game that came with the Short Peace collection. Each cutscene is directed by different people and the game by Suda 51 so the tone shifts wildly. I can't tell if it's lampooning anime trash or celebrating it. Game part sucks though.
