Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a game coming out next month that I've wanted for a decade. It's predecessor, Tomodachi Life on 3DS was loads of fun, but it's biggest setback was inability to make gay couples and queer characters. Living the dream remedies that with 3 gender options, and romantic orientation options to include any arrangement of those 3 genders. The 3 genders are male, female, and nonbinary. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's a huge upgrade from just male and female and all forced to be straight! My OCs are all gay or bi, and I'm fucking nonbinary, so yay, all good changes for me.
Naturally, I have a hard copy of this game preordered, and I expect to get it the day after release. BUT a demo dropped today, and I'll be damned if I don't get to play with it!
The new Mii creator is incredible! The best one ever made. And, you can import your old Miis, and give them a glow up with all the new features. Getting their personalities correct is a little tricky though, so you might wanna look up a guide if you don't want your stoic husband to be bouncing around the island all giddy, while your own typically bubbly self is brooding. Yes, I somehow mixed them up that bad.
Unfortunately, the demo is incredibly short, only allowing you 3 Miis, and they get locked in their rooms after you run out of quests. So yeah, not a good gauge of the gameplay, at all. But the original game is stupid fun, so hopefully this game will be a lot more of that. Everyone is desperate to know if the concert hall is coming back, but it hasn't been confirmed or denied that I'm aware of.
So yeah, playing with the demo ate up a good chunk of my day, and has me hyped for the release in a few weeks. Also, I downloaded a metric ton of demos on Steam, so yeah, anyone reading this can look forward to more demo reviews. This focus on demos is an effort to curb my dire need to buy every visual novel in sight.
