Fumikage Tokoyami’s shadow quirk gets a whole different kind of workout here and I’m still not sure if Dark Shadow is jealous or into it. The setup is some alternate timeline where you’re at the shittiest hero academy trying to claw your way up, but that’s just the excuse to bounce between Mina’s pink everything and Tsuyu’s surprisingly flexible tongue. The visual novel style means lots of reading, and the art is rough in a way that feels almost intentional, like someone sketched it during detention. The dialogue though. Inko Midoriya shows up at one point and suddenly I’m forgetting all about the main plot because she’s talking about how lonely she gets and there’s this long pause where you just know the “helping her with chores” option isn’t about dishes.
Mina’s acid quirk is barely mentioned except for one scene where she threatens to melt the lock on the locker room door and honestly that should’ve been a whole mechanic. Missed opportunity. Instead you get these static choice menus that feel like they were coded in a weekend. Sometimes the text wraps weird on mobile, had to squint at my phone like an idiot. The parody aspect means nobody acts quite right, Izuku’s muttering is dialed down to horny whispers and Tokoyami keeps making dramatic declarations about the abyss while blushing. It’s so dumb. I love it.
Top 3 Moments You’ll Want to Screenshot. One, Tsuyu’s tongue wrapped around a popsicle while maintaining deadpan eye contact. Two, the accidental quirk activation during a study session that leaves everyone’s clothes in tatters. Three, Inko’s “special training” scene where the power dynamic completely flips and you remember she raised the protagonist of the actual series. The game knows what it’s doing even when it pretends it doesn’t. Don’t expect a finished product, expect a fever dream that loads in your browser and makes you question why you know these characters so intimately. The audio is nonexistent and the backgrounds are basically colored rectangles but somehow that adds to the whole grimy charm. Wish there was more Momo but whatever, that’s what fan edits are for.
