More than a visual novel, Yarudora: Double Cast feels like an anime where you take the protagonist’s choices, since everything is fully animated (by Production I.G.) and voiced in a way that doesn’t really feel cheap. And we’re talking about a PS1 game with just 2 discs and it’s more impressive when you realize there are 26 endings. 4 good, 5 normal and 17 bad.

The story is simple, you are a dude without a face which one day finds a girl with amnesia and eventually you join a group of people recording a movie which supposedly, is cursed. Surprisingly, it was enjoyable to read and the mysteries surrounding everything kinda make you want to know the answers.

Of course I got one of the bad endings (even if the story itself kinda ended well) and I guess I can’t say I beated this game until I get one of the good endings. I’ll probably do it since as I said, the storyline is simple and it’s a short game (1 hour for the first playthrough).

I really look forward to other games in the series getting translated. But until then, Double Cast is a good option for anyone that’s curious like I was before knowing any of this information.
