For example, investing in dark stats (e.g., manipulative, violent) unlocks underhanded dialogue choices during events and shady jobs that involve illicit activities in exchange for higher payouts. Hush Hush has a karma system wherein you can pump stats into light or dark traits, opening up different dialogue options during events and better job opportunities to earn money. For example, a desired response in a dialogue tree may be greyed out unless your “suave” trait is at a certain level. Increasing your stats in various traits (e.g., suave, tech-savvy) unlocks myriad aspects of the game. The quick and dirty of it is that you need to balance your time between pumping your personal stats, making money, keeping tabs on your text messages, and attending events at various locations that either move the plot along or offer bonuses depending on your actions. Extracting the S-links from one of those Persona installments and packaging them as their own separate game is essentially what Hush Hush feels like. If you’ve played Persona 3 or Persona 4, then you’re certainly familiar with those games’ Social Links. She and all the other Hush Hush exclusive characters are intriguing and I wonder if Sad Panda will utilize them in other multimedia. Along with old friends from Crush Crush and Blush Blush, there are several side characters exclusive to Hush Hush, such as the sinister and smoldering Lilianna. This is important, because as I progressed in Hush Hush, I picked up on several subtle references and inside jokes to Crush Crush and Blush Blush. I then started playing Crush Crush and have since invested more time in that than I care to admit. I first played the Hush Hush demo cold (meaning: with no exposure to prior Sad Panda games) and forced myself to uninstall it because I was playing it so often. Prior exposure to those amusingly addictive, free-to-play time sinks isn’t fully necessary to enjoy Hush Hush‘s plot, but it certainly enhances the experience. Most of Subrosa’s inhabitants come from Sad Panda‘s prior games Crush Crush and Blush Blush. Admittedly, some plot details require “because it’s anime, that’s why” suspension of disbelief on the player’s part, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying a wonderfully written escapade in a resort town that is as much a character as its denizens. Hush Hush offers a list of optional content warnings when it first boots up for good reason. Their vivid personalities shine via over-the-top dialogue dripping with obvious innuendo, yet they also have surprisingly emotional storylines that gut-punched me much harder than expected. Anyway, the love interests are alluring and they all want you.
Aside from the five main love interests, there are also a few additional people to pursue, including one girl’s flamboyant gender-fluid sibling who looks fabulous in either sundresses or tailored slacks.
This M-rated game is filled with sun, salaciousness, sin, scandal, swearing, secrets, suspense, and shameless self-awareness, and I loved every minute of it. Let’s see… fun in the sun, a bevy of beautiful people to make sizzling summer memories with, and a chance to play the hero? It’s an offer you shouldn’t refuse and the premise for visual novel/sim Hush Hush – Only Your Love Can Save Them. While in Subrosa, you must bond closely with five specific young women and uncover their deepest, darkest secrets in order to avert a fatal tragedy at the end of the month. Well, okay, before your purported vacation you dream of two lovely goddesses who bestow you with a quest. Congratulations! You have just won a one-month, expenses-paid summer vacation to the lovely tropical paradise resort of Subrosa! Seriously, it’s totally legit! You’re not dreaming here.
