Abstract: The Caligula Effect's major selling point is that it was written by Tadashi Satomi, whose claim to fame is that he developed the scenario, characters, and setting of the original Persona games. Considering how beloved those games are, and how widely they'...
Interesting story premise and narrative, Affinity system, Interesting combat execution, Relatable personal struggles
