It’s a goofy plot, but it’s also what attracted me in the first place. It was too stupid of concept for me not to try, as I’m a big fan of games that manage to plant their tongue firmly in their cheek. To that extent, Paca Plus delivers. It’s definitely humorous and full of situations worthy of a chuckle. That said, if you’re hoping for any sort of seriousness, touching moments, or gameplay choices, this really isn’t for you.

Pros:
+ Amusing concept
+ Humorous execution
+ Strong audio work
+ Cheap Price

Cons:
- Few story choices
- Laughably bad translation
- Not enough art assets

Neutral
=Short Gameplay

Sometimes the creative capacity of the mind truly terrifies me. If you only pay attention to mainstream video games, you may be unaware of what the independent scene is capable of putting out and how there really is no such thing as too small of an audience. Case in point, Paco Project have brought a different spin to the visual novel genre with Paca Plus, a game that asks players how they would react if they started seeing their girlfriend as an alpaca

Like most quirky visual novels, PacaPlus isn’t long. A complete playthrough to attain its multiple endings should take most players anywhere from two to four hours. Once you get through the main storyline the other endings are pretty quick to collect. Simply be sure to create a save at each dialogue choice to be able to work your way quickly to other endings. Fortunately, a skip feature was included to make the process of completing it simple. It’s worth seeing all endings as they provide reasons for what happened to Yukari, as well as a totally creepy and unexpected ending in one case.

You might be able to tell at a glance, but this game isn’t for everyone. If, like me, you’re going into Paca Plus looking to laugh at an absurd concept, chances are you’re going to be pretty satisfied. It’s one situation where the translation is a plus, adding a B-movie feel to the experience. Those looking for a serious romance or some heart warming monument to love being more than skin deep will quickly find the translation issues to be too much to look past. Maybe the original Japanese story is stronger, but the English translation is no bard’s tale.

Final Verdict 3/5
With middling writing, readers will most likely find themselves playing simply because of the silly premise rather than because they care at all about Kazuma or Yukari’s plight. That’s not awful — but it would have been fantastic to see the second English version of this game offer immensely improved translation quality.

Note:If you find this ridiculous story intriging, then you’ll be glad to know that PacaPlus is cheaper than some other recent visual novel releases.
(I don't usually say this about 2D alpacagals, but that is one nice piece of fleece.)
