I know very very little about either TCG culture or Yu-Gi-Oh (beyond the few episodes I randomly caught on TV)…… but I really, really enjoyed this VN all the same!!
It’s a such nice snapshot of TCG culture with clear love for it.
I really enjoyed the eerie abandoned theme park aesthetically, the estranged rivals relationship, and of course the life-or-death minigames themselves… I had to replay most of them quite a few times (original build of the VN), but I did manage to get through to the end.
Thank you, for making it, it was super enjoyable!
Thank you for playing, really happy to hear you enjoyed it!
As a kid I only saw a couple of episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh, too. I ended up watching it a couple of years ago when I was sick, and became obsessed. 😅
Hello! I'm enjoying the game a ton, it's really well made!
I'm stuck at the third game, the one with the dragons. I have made multiple combinations (fire-earth, water-metal, wood-earth) but no dragons ever spawn ^^'
Is there a precise combination I need to make to progress?
Thank you so much!
For the dragon game, there's a diagram about which combos boost each other. The first two are good. The next part is making sure you have a set of three of the same level - so you need three level 3 water cards, for example. Once you have two complete sets, there is a prompt on the left to summon the dragons.
Thank you for the prompt answer!
Facepalm of the century on my side of the screen, as I was collecting a set of 1-2-3 instead of 3-3-3. My bad!!
EDIT: With your tip I managed to finish it ✨it was excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!!
Nice! So glad that helped and you enjoyed the game! 😁
