Dude, Lupin and gang are BARELY in this thing. It mostly focuses on this self-insert kid that has a feud with a kid across the river who's trying to woo your girlfriend with ice cream from his job. Lupin and everyone joins in once in a blue moon to save the day or continue the main boy's hideously boring story rather than do something cool like, I dunno, being the goddamn protag or whatever. The fact he takes up 2/3s of the game cover would have you think otherwise… A game I tried because of my love for Lupin’s pizazz of sex drugs and rock n roll - I guess he has a large little boy market I didn’t really know about...

Dude... ルパン三世とー隊はこのゲームにほとんど出ていない。このゲームはたいてい 2 の小さな子供の間の愛の抗争に焦点をあてている。私が覚えているのは、ある少年がアイスクリームで少女に言い寄った。ホント、バカだね。ごくたまに、ルパン三世はこの退屈な物語を救いに来た。なぜルパンが主人公じゃなかったのか不思議がる。なぜ彼が表紙に大きくなるのか。ルパンのノリが大好きだ... 少年に人気があるか私は知らなかっただろう…

1.5/5

I'd read about this one and was a bit intrigued by the fact it was apparently a bit closer to Castle of Cagliostro in terms of its themes and characterizations. Never got around to digging any further into it but hearing that he hardly even features in the game makes me feel like that may have been the right move

@doctorquark im already not too huge on visual novels, so I thought having Lupin as a familiar face would make it more fun, only to have the whole story be this silly feud between some little kids 🤣 turns out I’m definitely not the intended age group. Feel free to check it out - but it’s good to have that in mind!
