Hashihime of the Old Book Town


  • Language: English

Jinbochou, Tokyo
June 1922, Taisho Era
The Rainy Season

Tamamori came to Tokyo with his sights set on getting accepted to the Imperial University. However, he doesn't pass the entrance exam, and is so undisciplined and wrapped up in endless fantasies that he's kicked out of his boarding house after only two years. Through a stroke of luck, Tamamori begins to live and work at Umebachidou, a used book store. There, he enjoys whiling away his time as a "student preparing for entrance exams" and taking advantage of friends who are also from his hometown. But one right after the other, mysterious deaths befall those friends and, realizing he's been repeating the same rainy three days over and over again, Tamamori finds himself racing throughout Jinbochou to save them.

In this pop-occult mystery that surrounds the deaths of his friends... What is real, and what is a hallucination?

    • Hi all!
       
      I can't seem to find any info, screenshots or really anything regarding an old game that I played many years ago.
      It was already old back then, so probably released around 1995-2000 I guess?
       
      The gameplay was basically a simplified Magic The Gathering collectable cards game. It had a female protagonist who could move around set points on a map, buy or acquire cards to build a deck, and "fight" opponents -- resulting in very tame and forgettable CG, but the main point for me was the great gameplay.
       
      It was in Japanese only, and I think the protagonist's name translated as "Whipped Cream". There was also a talking cat and obviously a fantasy setting.
      There was even an expansion which added new cards to the game.
       
      I've been browsing countless games here and on other sites, and nowhere I find even the slightest hint. It's like this game was cancelled from everyone's memory but mine.
      If anyone has any info, or could advise where I could go looking next, that would be great!
    • Book of Korvald tells the saga of a Norse scribe, and his alliance with an eldritch entity named "Qhroth'un".

      History does not tell us that Norse clans had scribes of their own. Their folklore is said to have been preserved through oral traditions exclusively, but this is not the truth. Many written sagas were damaging to the reputation of royal families and expository to the church. So these writings, along with their authors, were aggressively purged from existence. Korvald was one such scribe.
       
      Korvald's is not a tale of heroism and justice, but of deceit and suffering provoked by powerful religious empires and unseen cosmic forces. His story begins as so many are ended. Family slain and taken from his now destroyed village, Korvald is branded as a heretic and seemingly condemned to death. The true purpose of his capture and torment are part of a much bigger and far more sinister agenda. In his darkest hour, Korvald is approached by Qhroth'un and an agreement is made that will change everything...
       
       
    • Why is the school principle not around when I'm on night duty...
      I thought I could have them help me get everything out of my womb... It's such a task to do it all by myself.
      After all, I usually have the doctor at the hospital help me...

      This is the story of a female teacher who masturbates to videos of her previous sexual encounters late at night in the principle's office.

      I used Unreal Engine for the first time to create this and placed a lot of emphasis on making sure that camera angle control and action selection could be performed with just one hand.
