"Riddle Joker" is a solid visual novel that focuses more on character interactions and romance than on its overall plot.
We play as Satoru, a secret agent who enrolls in an academy while hiding his identity. The premise involves supernatural abilities but keeping things relatively light and focusing on daily life and relationships.
The main strenght of the game is its cast. Each character has a clear personality, and their routes are enjoyable mainly because of the interactions, humor, and character development. Even if the main story isn't particularly deep, the characters make the experience engaging.
The pacing is consistent with lots of Slice Of Life moments.
In terms of presentation, it delivers what you'd expect from Yuzusoft. High quality artwork, expressive characters, good voice acting, and a solid soundtrack that fits the tone of the game.
Overall, "Riddle Joker" it's an enjoyable visual novel with a strong focus on its characters, and it's easy to recommend if you like lighthearted romance-focused stories.
As a final note, the game also includes optional adult content (+18), but it's not part of the default version that we can buy here in Steam. If you want to access to it, you need to download and install an additional +18 patch from the official Yuzusoft website.
