addedBonus ScenesBeginning with Episode 2, we're going to be adding unique Bonus Scenes with special requirements! Finding these will result in some fun additional character moments, usually with a quirky context.

changedBonus ScenesBe careful in this place, the outfits are cute, but they've got a cherry pie there that'll kill ya.

changedInterview with Ryan GaiserRyan Gaiser voiced Hiroshi Okabe in Kumitantei and they gave a deep dive with YouTuber Nuc on what it's like to voice everyone’s favorite comedian, some behind the scenes, and what it’s like navigating the voice acting profession.
