Plot

Teuta is a 21-year-old freelance journalist who has the unique ability to briefly time travel to the past by inhabiting other people's bodies. After she happens to witness the murder of "crooked" lawyer Limbo Fitzgerald, she uses her ability to prevent his death and is drawn into the criminal underworld with Limbo and his teammates. There are five male characters that Teuta can enter a romantic relationship with, and the game has multiple endings based on the choices the player makes.

Gameplay

Bustafellows is a visual novel where the player's decisions determine which route the story takes.[2] Some choices have a time limit attached, and making certain choices grants "memorabilia" that can unlock "extra episodes" for the player to read.[3]

By 2024, over 100,000 copies of Bustafellows had been sold.[7]
