Unlike the typical high-fantasy JRPG setting of castles and dragons, That Girl Quest: Back Alley Angel (RJ189700) drops you into a rain-slicked, cyberpunk-adjacent metropolis. You play as Kyouka, a former vigilante trying to escape a bloody past. However, when children from the local slums start disappearing, she is dragged back into the labyrinthine back alleys to become the "Angel" the streets need.
The narrative is refreshingly linear but branching. The game utilizes a "Moral Compass" system (standard in Western RPGs, rare in this genre) where your choices determine whether Kyouka remains a symbol of justice or becomes a ruthless anti-hero.

She finds you, drags you into her makeshift shelter (a cardboard and tarp lean-to), and grudgingly patches you up. Unlike the typical high-fantasy JRPG setting of castles
The "Quest" is not for gold or glory. The quest is for trust.
Kyouka relies on speed over strength. The game avoids button-mashing; you must manage a "Stamina Gauge" to execute heavy kicks and grapple moves. The "Back Alley" stages are claustrophobic, forcing you to use the environment (throwing enemies into dumpsters, sliding down fire escapes). This is a "tsundere" character, yes, but stripped
