sadly, only available in japanese, but goddam, i didn't expect to be this good

this shit is so cool but my japanese isnt good enough for this and then i heard people do google translate camera to try and play this
i felt like a whole jackass trying to get that to work LMFAO LIKE
playing it with one hand and practically playing it through lookoing at the camera of my phone was very strange
i dont think i can do it and thats very sad to me

i gave up on trying to learn japanese because of various reasons. this game makes me want to learn it immediately so that i can experience it properly.

an extremely interesting game designed by an extremely interesting and talented person (who became my favorite vg composer), with cool aesthetics and a marvelous soundtrack. i played it for like 5 minutes because i couldn't understand a thing, so I'll come back to it once I learn japanese!!

Arguably peak fiction, no man can name 1 flaw with this first example of the Japanese truly understanding their own people, as well as understand the nature of art and even reality itself, if you need to do a little soul searching play this game, you will find your reason.
