Promise Mascot Agency, developed and published by Kaizen Game Works, offers a special blend of open world adventuring and management sim. You play as Michi, aka The Janitor, an exiled Yakuza fixer who finds himself stuck in the cursed town of Kaso Machi where he must successfully manage a mascot talent agency in order to save his Yakuza family's matriarch. Along with Pinky, your partner in crime (figuratively) and mascot wrangling (literally), you'll need to recruit mascots, match them up with the right jobs, and uncover the dark secrets of Kaso Machi's past before time runs out. In episode 65 of No Small Games, Kate and Emily wrap up the spring season with a deep dive into the many systems and mechanics of Promise Mascot Agency. There is a lot going on in this game, and not just narratively! You'll hear all about their money-making strategies and favorite mascots. We hope you enjoy this very special game discussion!
