Sabado A reunion that turns strange

Sabado starts soft. You walk through familiar classrooms and quiet hallways at golden hour, chatting with Chesa, playing basketball shooting, letting her feed you, patting her head when she asks. She is cheerful, she is glad to see you, and the whole school feels like it has been waiting. Then the exits start disappearing. Hallways warp into routes they should not be, a silent observer tracks your every step, and the sweet afternoon curdles into a chase that runs from sundown into the night. The anime visuals stay cute the whole way through, which somehow makes it worse.

Chesa is the whole show. She talks, laughs and remembers little moments you shared, all with live voice acting that gives her a lot of charm. She also has a second side: one moment sweet and adorable, the next terrifying, hunting you down from afternoon until night because she just wants to be with you forever. When she is angry, she finds your position with unsettling accuracy and her temper takes a long time to cool. Your job is to search for items while dodging her, ducking into narrow spots and hoping she wanders off. She is a highlight, and her voice performance is a big part of why.
