Yurukill: The Calumniation Games
Overall Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is about as weird as its title suggests. A wacky mash up of escape room and shmup with Phoenix Wright/pop quiz elements thrown in that was weirdly endearing. While Yurukill certainly fell flat in some areas, it certainly had a good showing with the cast of characters, interesting storylines, and decently integrated genre changes.
