Promise Mascot Agency is one big silly Yakuza side-quest, and I love it
On a dark day in Japan, you find yourself in a fight. You’ve been set up by a rival gang, and it's your money or your life. You choose your life and lose a lot of money. Disgraced, you’re ousted from the yakuza and sent to go run the Promise Mascot Agency set in a dingy hotel in a creepy town with a giant disembodied pinky finger to help you. You play as Michi, and are marked as dead in society after being kicked out of your yakuza family. Fun fact: he’s voiced by Takaya Kuroda, the official voice of Yakuza’s Kiryu. You’re now tasked with fixing up the mascot-filled town and the Agency to pay back your rather large debts - or else, as there are people waiting to rough you up if you don’t. To gain these funds, you send your loveable mascots out on jobs. Don’t worry, you have the aforementioned finger, Pinky, to help you out. They’re a well of information and act as your assistant. You can even paint their nail in different designs. Promise Mascot Agency encapsulates the vibes of those wacky, out-of-pocket side-quests you get in Yakuza, with a little bit of GTA and House Flipper mixed in. What on earth do I mean by that? Well, if you’ve played Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s Dondoko Island management quest, it’s a bit like that, except you drive around in a truck and on an open-world map when not managing your mascots in a menu.
