Case 03: True Cannibal Boy

About

Case 03: True Cannibal Boy is a brief, subversive take on classic JRPGs. Play as a self-centered charmer and a woman with severe trust issues as they tackle a haunted house job that spirals into a mess of occult nonsense. Dialogue crackles with awkward humor and shifting loyalties. Battles are simple but punctuated by over-the-top animations. The story leans into absurdity, blending supernatural chaos with personal drama. The game clocks in under three hours, making it a quick but memorable ride. Its oddball character dynamic and deadpan delivery stand out, with players noting the sharp contrast between the leads' personalities. While not complex, the intentionally short runtime keeps it brisk and unpretentious. Some critics called it “weird and wonderful,” highlighting the bold choice to lean so hard into its unconventional tone.
