Crunchyroll is known worldwide for being one of the most popular anime series streaming sites. A couple of months ago, on November 18, 2022, it was announced the pre-sale of a title in which Hime, Crunchyroll's mascot, is the main character. And today they stated via Twitter that it is now playable for free using your web browser.

What is the game about?
You will take control as Crunchyroll-Hime to save the anime club from Y2K. As provided by Crunchyroll, the synopsis is the following:
“It's in 1999, something electric is in the air. A malevolent force has crept into New Crunchy City, wreaking havoc on its technology, and tragically destroying the Anime Club’s precious DVD / VCR combo player. Can you root out the dastardly cretin brazen enough to ruin their meeting?”
This game is focused on being a classic experience playable on GameBoy Color devices. If you didn't have the chance to pre-order the physical cartridge game there is still some time left, but you have to be quick! The pre-orders have been extended until the end of this Thursday, January 26, which is tomorrow.

Despite being a game inspired by the most classic titles played on the GameBoy Color handheld, it can bring us nostalgia with the winks to other games to which Hime's Quest makes references. It can even be played for free if you want to try a totally new game based on this retro style that we enjoyed so much in its time.
Did you have the opportunity to play any classic titles on the Game Boy Color? Let us know in the comments!
