Why have they had to release Tevi two days away from a huge Steam sale? I was already feeling somewhat embarassed by what I've spent on games in the last weekend. And then I open Steam and I am greeted by the cutest bunny lady I've ever seen, Tevi.

I thought to myself: don't do it! You have a huge backlog, dude! You just bought, like, a trillion soulslikes! You're playing Evil West! Don't buy it!

And I was like, okay, I won't buy it. But I will play the demo.

The demo of Tevi is really cool. The devs made a little alternate adventure to show a lot of aspects of their game. And you won't get spoiled by anything, as the demo feels like a filler episode to the anime that is the full game.

The demo was so fire that I couldn't not buy Tevi. And so I bought it.

Game is horny AF. You know anime that emphasizes young woman being hot? Like, Shantae? And how they sometimes play it coy, like, being super näive in tone while also obviously feeling the hots for their characters? Tevi isn't like that, this is an openly horny game. It reminded me of Gust outings, like the Atelier series, Mana Khemia, etc.

Even if you find it cringe (and the game dabbles in fetishes I find somewhat weird), there's no denying how much quality is in this game. Tevi has combos for days, bunny girl hits like Dante from Devil May Cry. The game seems to have learned all the big lessons from decades of 2D game design, and incorporates every quality of life feature that you usually wish for in games of this kind.

Game opens up fast, and you'll be deciding your next adventure in no time. Tevi is story-heavy, and the game almost feels like a visual novel at times. It doesn't drag the pacing too much, and Tevi is a charismatic character. This game can establish relationships between NPCs and its main character, in a way that isn't super common.

Of course, I'm like 5 hours in while writing this, and the game can do the classic "get bad in the final stretch" thing that is so usual of the industry. But, even then, I think that Tevi is a special game. I know for sure that its a very good game in its genre. I'll wait a little for saying what I really think right now: this might be one of the best.
