STORY
Kumyo – the land of neon lights and fleeting pleasures.
A place where if you don’t step on others to reach the top, you’ll only sink to the bottom.
Effort means nothing.
Charity? Forget about it.
Kroa is an underground courier at the bottom of the barrel.
In order to survive life in Kumyo, the youth have turned to the mafia to fight for power.
The mafia is a violent criminal organization shunned by the public.
However, there was one family both respected by fellow mafiosi and adored by the general public.
Their name was the Liu family.
But 11 years ago, the Liu family was exterminated.
Once the sole surviving member, Gante Lowd, crosses paths with the rightful heir, Liu Kroa,
the wheel of fate begins to turn once more.

So since this seems to have been delayed to the 25th Dec, do you think it won’t qualify for your ‘End of the Year Round Up’ ? Unless you can play a full game in 2 days I’m assuming it’ll have to tip into next year’s round up instead? 🙂

Yeah, Neon Mafia will unfortunately have to go into next year’s round up instead of this year. 🥲

Aw it’s a shame but makes sense. I’m looking forward to the round-up this year 🙂
If I might make a little suggestion? I’d be interested in seeing an updated sort of Best Girls Hall of Fame List. I feel like I’ve noticed more heroines making the imaginary list this year but I’ve kind of lost track of who’s actually on it at this point haha. Would be a nice little thing to get an updated list each year to see who’s made it 🙂 No shade to the good heroines but the list is for the elite XD Just a fun thought!
