  [strike] Go Go Nippon [/strike] Stay Stay DPRK is an accurate and beautiful depiction of [strike] North Korean [/strike] Best Korean life. Definitely Not Propaganda Made By Our Glorious Leader Or Anything.

  How to describe this... Racist. Politically incorrect. Trashier than my ex. Absolutely fucking hilarious. Seriously, this game had me laughing nonstop. It's short but damn it's worth it. And (at least with the story path I got, not sure if all of them do this) that fucking ending is straight out of left field man. TOTALLY wasn't expecting something like that in a game that used the phrase "Trumpopoly."

  As a person who actually went on a tour to North Korea I have to say this game protrays a lot of the elements of real NK accurately in a very humorous way. A good galgame to lighten the mood...except that all the endings are kinda depressing. Still, it won't have the same effect on the players if all the endings are like cheesy galgames. That's what I think is the best of the game. In the end, humor ends, and reality comes in. also waiting for the adult package. Jeong is mai new waifu <33333333 (Also I am willing to help translate this game into Chinese! I saw someone posting about this in the discussion.)

  went into Stay! Stay! with low expectations and had them exceeded. I didn’t think it’d be much more than a cheap cash grab, but I enjoyed my time more than I thought I would. There’s still not a lot here as far as gameplay and content is concerned, but what’s there is pretty good. It’s not the best visual novel of its type out there, but it’s definitely far from the worst. The humor and surprisingly unsettling insight into True Best North Korea made this game much more intriguing and entertaining than I would have thought at a first glance. Altogether though, both girls are somewhat lacking in depth. While more aspects are hinted at least a little bit in places, most of the time the game plays it completely straight with the characters. You’ll largely know what they’re like within the first five minutes of the game just from cliches and tropes alone. That doesn’t make them uninteresting, mind you, just somewhat predictable. Even with that said, the humor and cute interactions are generally entertaining enough to keep the game from being dull. Couple that with the above sections regarding Korea itself, as well as some nice art, and you've really got something. While I’m not about to take to forums and start declaring who I think is Best Girl, I did enjoy my time with both options. Amidst all the humor and romantic interludes, there was a genuine sense of unease that affected both the protagonist and the player. It truly felt like you’d have to watch everything you said and did to avoid falling out of line -- and even if you did everything right, you were still very much unwelcome. That’s not what people are coming to play the game for, mind you… but the fact that these real situations were addressed in such a manner caught me completely off guard and is absolutely worth mentioning. Couple this with frequently clever dialogue and humor, and the writing quality in Stay! Stay! proved quite impressive. I can’t really say I’d recommend it at its price point to anyone but an enthusiast, but should you find yourself considering it, know that there’s a fun experience to be had. My Verdict 6/10 A short, sweet, and funny visual novel that is much smarter than it looks but still far from brilliant.

  Equal parts wit, satire, and adorableness compose this visual novel. Having played Panzermadels through a whole run and this through a whole run, it's great to see that DEVGRU-P is focusing on creating more content and choices: while I didn't count the amount of choices, Steam did count the time spent on each playthrough. Panzermadels clocked in at two and Stay! Stay! DPRK! at six. That's three times more content! I also feel more compelled to play the other routes now that I've completed one. It gets very serious towards the end, even referencing that [url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/17/world/asia/north-korea-otto-warmbier-sentenced.html]poor sap that tried to nab a propaganda poster.[/url] For reference (serious spoilers follow:) [spoiler]I got "Apathy Is Death", the "harem" ending that also ends with you renouncing your American citizenship and being stuck in the DPRK forever. It is the darkest timeline.[/spoiler] Panzermadels, on the other hand, I felt would've had a lot of the same content in each route unless I stuck my barrel in crazy. Art and music have also received a substantial upgrade to "average". Hell, some of the backgrounds are even wallpaper-worthy, I'd say. Considering they were working with less than the average price of a used car, I'd say they did a good job. Characters, save for one person you meet towards the end, are fairly predictable. Not to say the story they tell isn't interesting, but as previous reviews have mentioned, your two choices are fairly archetypal. So what type of story do they tell? Surely you're curious how North Korea is portrayed in this piece of media. Satire is heavily employed, but for those who can't interpret that, there's also plenty of reminders that this is indeed North Korea, and therefore not a good place to live or visit. You aren't getting the wrong idea just because anime girls are on the screen and in uniform. I figured out fairly early why I was there, but didn't fully piece it together until the end. Despite its predictability, the going from tourist destination to tourist destination with the girls was fun! Be sure to stop by the Pueblo for a great photo of our sailors giving their detainers the respect they deserve. Overall, I'm bad at numbers, so I'd just say it's a quirky game that made me laugh out loud at the lighthearted parts and yell at my own mistakes towards the end. Out of ten. Pick it up if the price of a nice lunch doesn't deter you, or wait for it to be the price of a McDonald's lunch. And remember: post-launch sales are what fund the H-patch!
