Katagiri-san is Relying on Me

Editorial Worth it

Katagiri-san is Relying on Me delivers a polished sequel that builds meaningfully on its predecessor. The core loop—light exploration puzzles, character interaction, and adult content—remains unchanged, but the execution improves notably. Puzzles are straightforward and well-guided; the pacing is tight (2–3 hours); and the relationship between the protagonist and Katagiri develops with genuine warmth beneath the tsundere posturing. The story embraces a loop/time-travel framing that justifies replay and adds emotional weight to the rescue narrative. CG quality is solid, with 20+ H-scenes; the art emphasizes character design and the protagonist's affection rather than shock value. Community consensus is consistently positive: players appreciate the balance of narrative and content, the character development, and the accessible difficulty. The main criticisms are minor—H-scenes are short, some assets reuse the first game, no voice acting—but none derail the experience. A complete patch is required for full adult content on some platforms. Recommended for fans of the first game and newcomers alike, especially those who enjoy puzzle adventures with romantic subtext and a dose of dark humor.
