Which is not a description I ever imagined I’d write. If anything, this game feels like the wokest reinterpretation of the possible lovechild of Phoenix Wright and those South Park games. The visual novel elements appear between the battles – be they the “snowball fights”, or one of the very many DMd tabletop games the club plays to practice and develop new tactics – as Alicia explores the grounds of the school, talks to the many other pupils, and completes side-quests for them usually based around further conversations.Īnd while there’s kind of sort of almost a romance storyline in there, no, thank the Lord this veers far away from the more usual content of a game that has “visual novel” and “high school” in its description. These all play out as Advance Wars-style tactical RPG battles, with your ever-growing roster of characters, abilities, and special moves.īut it’s so much more than this knowingly weird conceit. But fortunately, a group of teens familiar in the art of tactical warfare are perhaps just the group to best their sudden rivals, be they the equestrian club, New Wave enthusiasts, Young Monarchists, or, brrrrr, worst of all, the Student Council. Together with her friends Jacob and Colin, they regularly get together to play tabletop fantasy games, until the school’s deeply peculiar principal declares this most ludicrous of rules: there can only be one activity club, and it will be decided on the snowy battlefield. You play as Alicia, a teenage girl who’s an enthusiastic member of the school’s C&C club.
#JIBBER JABBER SOUND CLUB SERIES#
It was the year all the school’s clubs were forced to battle it out in a series of snowball fights, to see who could become the supreme Ultimate Club, for reasons that baffle absolutely everyone involved. Because this is something truly special – a fantastic combination of tactical RPG and visual novel, that tells the tale of bizarre goings on in a private American high school in 1981. I have a feeling this is a treasure that won’t stay buried for long.
