3/2/2024 0 Comments Maid mansion patreon![]() I really honestly wish I had more to tell you. Two red heads, one with blue hair, two with green hair, the blonde that showed up for an entire scene, and the queer-coded one that should have got way more screen time. ![]() Narumi, the pink haired eighteen year old new recruit that the game spends a disproportionate amount of time reminding you of her body. You’re made aware of this by the fact she’s serious enough about her duties that she could have been in the Synder cut. There’s Tokako, head maid who has been with the family the longest. Yay, holding people’s financial future and emotional states hostage! You move in the day of the funeral, and in a whirlwind of introductions meet the entire, ever expanding maid staff. It turns out Gramps had your position and that of your secretary-Umeko, typecast as a childhood love interest-terminated at your companies. I can’t help but wonder if Yuu was an isekai protagonist. But the point stands that the entire introduction of the game focuses on something that could not and would not happen. I’m over thinking the hentai game, I know. At worse, the estate would have gone up for auction and. Any lawyer worth their salt would have very obviously talked to gramps about what a bad idea it was to leave everything to his “no good” grandson that he wasn’t close to. It’s a laughable plot point because absolutely nobody in their right mind would turn down the inheritance, and even if they did-who is going to force them? In the real world, the estate would have been divided among the next of kin. ![]() Something about his legacy being tarnished, or whatever. The old coot opted to leave you his entire estate on the grounds you had to take it over and run his business. The game opens with the death of your grandpa, who was kind of a total asshole anyways. Maid Mansion stars Yuu (or whatever you choose to name him), the grandson of a ridiculously famous and rich war hero turned saffron flower grower. My initial skepticism quickly was swept under the rug in a whirlwind of sub-plots and character development. ![]() With this driving my purchase, I hauled out my debit card and downloaded it right away. If my commissions and requests over the last few months are any indication, we all deserve a little time to feel taken care of and loved. Even if it’s on the other side of the screen. There’s something to be said for self care, and finding time to be pampered. Yet, in 2021-who would be? Stating that the last two years have been mental and emotional hell for everyone would be a gross understatement. I most certainly would scoff at the idea of getting help from anyone, much less a digital hentai fetish. Despite now being willing to accept the idea of help, I’m largely someone who prides themselves on doing things and doing them well. Ugh, I thought, I’m absolutely not the target audience for this. Reading the description, I could feel the hackles raise on the back of my neck. They are willing to wait on your ever desire and more. You are in a mansion filled to the brim with maids. I mention this not to bemoan my financial plight, but to illustrate the kind of mindset I took to Maid Mansion-a game that (much like Jack of All) lives it’s name. I’m happy to say I’m not quite so stubborn anymore. Asking for help (much more receiving it out of the kindness of someone’s heart) used to make me grimace and protest. It’s something I’ve spent the later years of my life having to gradually un-learn. “Jack of All” isn’t just a name, it’s me. The service industry, you come to realize, is something you engage in simply for convenience or because what you need is beyond your skills. Your mechanic, plumber and electrician are countless youtube videos that you watch while working on something. Your doctors are WebMD and that app that tells you analog medicines for prescriptions you can’t afford. Largely because growing up in poverty, “doing it yourself” isn’t just a fact of life. It’s a concept wholly alien, the very utterance of such words more akin to unicorns and fantasy. The idea of a “maid”, a “butler” or any kind of “household help” seems such an obtuse thing to me. Put on your fanciest dinner jacket and let’s begin. Today, we’re going to be reviewing another release by Critical Bliss-Maid Mansion. Miss the last entry? You can read it here. Welcome once again to Joyful Stick, our NSFW video game review series.
