2022 has been quite the year of surprises, of both the pleasant and unpleasant variety. In my particular case however, folks might say that I was – pardon the god-awful pun here – shell-shocked.

It's not often that I get to play a different kind of game (let alone getting to play period, buuuut that's a whole different epic boss fight of a story for another time…), but when I was asked if I wanted to play a novel, y'all can only imagine my curiosity. In all of my years of saving worlds, rescuing princesses, and winning championships, I had never come across – much less heard of – a ... more.

Another year, another KOF game by developer SNK. As someone who owned a Neo-Geo AES back in the day, there was nothing more exciting than a new KOF game.
