“……Mercenary group?”1530e739f4bf6ed2

The ‘Red Lion Mercenary Group’ was the group the player belonged to before the original story began. Although it wasn’t mentioned often in the game except for the beginning, I played the early parts so many times that I remember the name clearly.0518e35488bcdfd1

<Infinite Regression High School Senior Hero>was a 19+ bdcbc7d244 horror game. It depicts 1a6a3ce61c the epic da0236b876 journey of 911af45dab a loser ebfc86962c protagonist who cab950e6f6 endlessly repeats 8049ec55d6 his senior c2ffeddd53 year of ebc5661e81 high school df793b7826 to achieve 2ce85b18e0 a perfect 35ccd0b801 score on 474ec048c5 theCSAT, fulfilling his deceased parents’ wish….c267d5be3e767cac

I got goosebumps for a moment. No matter which character I’m possessed by in that game, it’s a no-win situation. If I’m the protagonist, I’ll suffer endlessly, and if I’m a side character, I’m one of the villains who bullied the protagonist.98365de642fc24db
