Rabi-Ribi

Hey, you got Touhou Project in my Metroidvania! Hey, you got free 2D exploration in my bullet hell! And who gave that bunny girl Amy Rose’s hammer!? What’s fun about doujin game development is that it is rife with all sorts of nonsense if you know where to look, and Rabi-Ribi is of the highest class among that crowded category. Made by Taiwanese developer Yue Gema and localized alongside Sekai Project, Rabi-Ribi is a blend of various familiar genres, and it manages to be something fresh through those combinations. It is also aggressively anime in every way imaginable, but in a good way.

Synopsis:

──We cannot choose in this unfair world.

Hao-Chen Jiang did not understand what it was when he opened his eyes. Before him was a dim and dreary room that he had not seen before. Trying to get up to turn on the lights, he finds that his arms are tied behind him and that is when he realizes that he's been kidnapped. It is then that a mysterious girl appears before him and with a look of disdain tells him that he's been kidnapped and unless his family agrees to pay a ransom he has no chance to escape. But perhaps there is more to this than just money...

The rich boy stuck in his never changing daily life... The fierce girl struggling for survival... Two people in totally opposite positions in life.

During his days of imprisonment, they will learn of a world they were never aware of which will crumble away at their deep-rooted prejudices. In the face of confusion and the choices before them, what will they find...?
