A young reporter from Beyond Good and Evil doesn't hesitate to take up difficult stories, often ethically ambiguous. In this universe, what seems right can then appear completely wrong, and eventually turn out to be the lesser evil. Luckily or not, the game also features clearly negative heroes, especially in the later stages of the game. And that's who Jade and her humanoid pig uncle Pey'j face.

While the game resembles a comedy at first, the story becomes much more serious as Jade's investigation grows wider and wider. There's still plenty of humor, but it is woven into the plot so skillfully that it does not affect the credibility of the presented events.

At the end of the game, a little more ethical ambiguity could do some good, and maybe a little less twisted resolution would be more welcome. Despite everything, however, the fantastic story of the heroine with green lips is very engaging. It's just a character that's impossible not to enjoy. Outspoken, uncompromising and, of course, hellishly brave.
