[Translation] ロボットやめたい I Want to Stop Being A Robot - A mobile game that will give you nightmares

My friend Tatsu requested this translation. It's such a creepy and disturbing game by COCOSOLA despite its simplicity.

If you're interested in the game, you can check it out here. It's made by the same person who did Alpaca Evolution (a less creepy game, but still gets creepy later on).

I want to stop being a robot.

I want to become human.

Even if it's just my form, I want to change.

Even if it's just my outer appearance, I want to become human.

I want to get along with humans.

If everyone works together,

I can surely become human.

What's it like to live as a human?

(From the game description in Google Play)

No. 1

Year 2013. When the robot woke up, he longed for humans.
He wanted to become close to being human. He wanted to get along with humans.
He thought he should start by making himself look more human.
He intended to get the cooperation of humans of the world, remodel his body, and become a bit closer to being human.

No. 2

The robot now is planning out the control circuit in his neck.
To have a more human-like appearance, first he must attach a head.
His moving ability may become a bit affected.
That is where his whole control circuit is gathered.
However, because his neck and head aren't connected well, it can easily become disconnected.

No. 3

A robot with an attached torso.
Because his data on balancing still isn't enough,
It was uneasily decided, but he feels pretty good.
"Am I human?" he asked the system. Without an answer of "No", he felt relieved.
At present, he is in the middle of testing out his walking motion.

[Review] Fantasy Maiden's Odd Hideout

Title:  Fantasy Maiden's Odd Hideout
Developer: Buriki Clock
Released: August 2014

Summary:

Ange and Bernd, two childhood friends, head out into the woods and enter a house made of delicious treats where they used to play at when they were little. After spending the night there, they find themselves locked inside. Then, suddenly fairies appear along with their dead childhood friend Cynthia! Cynthia tells Ange to collect breadcrumbs. Once she has enough, the bird in the cage will show her the way.

They spend each day partying and collecting breadcrumbs until reality starts to gradually become apparent and Bernd starts acting suspicious. The secret Bernd is hiding from her actually is...?!

Comments:

This game is one of those that are all cutesy and happy at the beginning, then horror and reality slowly comes in. Kinda like the game Patty and Mr. Miles except it actually gives you some closure.

The game is actually divided into 2 parts: one is Ange's side and the other is Bernd's side. Depending on how sensitive you are to feels, the heart-crushing moments start to come in right around the end of Ange's side.

So I was playing this game with my friend Toru... and we got stuck at the Poker mini-game cause we had so much fun gambling and buying Strawberry Jam from the Crow to raise Bernd-kouhai's affection level. xD

There are 3 endings, all of which are decided right near the end of Bernd's side. The true end is unlocked after seeing the bad end and the normal end.

A little tip if you've decided to play this game: Be sure to complete the puzzle picture in the first part, because you need it to see the true end a.k.a. Sunday End.

What to expect:
- Mini-quests
- Vampires
- Cute fairies
- Poker?! <--- Yes. You play poker in this game.
- Heart-crushing reality

What I Learned from RPGmaker Horror Games

1. There will always be a locked door.

2. Even if there's a knife or anything that could be used to stab and kill the antagonist, the protagonist will not pick it up and will use a less useful object instead.

3. There's almost always something useful in the library.

4. If there's an incinerator in the game, you will most likely use it to burn the antagonist, but you probably either have to do things to get it to work or go through a huge amount of trouble just to get to it.

5. In-game characters seem to have the habit of leaving notes filled with secrets for the protagonist to find.

6. When a statue or human-like object that used to be there suddenly disappears, it's probably gonna show up and chase you.

7. There's probably a secret passageway in the fireplace.

8. If it's a shiny object on the ground, it's probably useful.

9. It ain't a proper RPGmaker horror game without a chase scene.

10. When stuck, examine EVERYTHING... and save in between.

11. Being able to save the game anytime is a wonderful thing.

I'll add more to this if I think of other stuff. xD

[Review] Yanderella

Title: Yanderella
Developer: CHARON (Nekofuji Kaoru)
Site: http://nekocharon.web.fc2.com/
Genre: Eroge-styled Horror Adventure

Summary:

Yatarou, the main character, is a handsome hikikomori.
One day, he has a reunion with his former best friends Honoka and Hinata.
However, a warped love triangle lurks behind the happy days the three of them spend together.

Comments:

I really expected this to be the usual RPGmaker horror game with chase scenes and puzzle solving, but it turned out to be something near a visual novel dating game with some killer yandere girls. Pretty refreshing I must say.

What caught my attention for this game was the paint-esque art. I still don't know how to magically manipulate paint to create two moe anime girls, so I've come to appreciate the art style of this game. I find it hilarious that Yatarou's face doesn't change all throughout.

As far as I know, there are 3 endings: one where you don't get killed, one where Hinata goes cray-cray, and one where Honoka goes cray-cray. You unlock these by choosing whether you give the bear to any of them or keep it to yourself.

Despite this being lighter than the usual horror, there are still a bunch of things that scare me in this game. One moment it's all normal and lovey dovey then-- BOOM. Yandere horror comes in like a jump scare. The last scenes in the game were the best. The music that plays is just perfect (For Honoka's ending, a very familiar song plays). I enjoyed it too much. I still can't decide which ending is better/the lesser evil, but I'd have to say Hinata's was more brutal.

What to expect:
- Lots of choices, hilarious ones
- Story/Dialogue-heavy because it's like a VN
- Zero chase scenes (Ok, maybe there is one but you don't have to control the character)
- Dramatic lovey dovey music
- Dramatic yandere music
- Ero scenes?! (Not really.)

...Yanderella.

The most difficult choice in the game.

[Review] Stray Cat Crossing Demo

Title: Stray Cat Crossing
Developer: Jurlo & Jetpackgone
Released: 2014
Console: PC (RPGmaker)
Version: 0.2
Genre: Puzzle, Horror, Adventure

Summary:

While searching for a stray cat, the protagonist finds herself trapped in a mysterious red room, unable to leave until she solves the puzzles and riddles of a babyfaced figure.

Comments:

This game has really interesting graphics and animations. That's what caught my attention throughout the game. I love how it's all weird and bizarre. The sprites and animations looked like they were painstakingly made. They even included short animated video clips in there, some of them are jump scares. That creepy saw-like baby face too is a pretty cool concept. I'm also seeing a bunch of original concepts which is refreshing (cause I play too many RPGmaker horror games and so many things are already getting old).

Considering it's still the demo, there isn't much plot to it yet. I'm hoping for a good plot to accompany the attractive graphics and nice music. I'd love to play more of this game.

Recommended for:

- People who love carnival-like themes
- Those who don't want any chase scenes (This demo didn't have any)
- Those who just want to do puzzle solving

[Review] Alyssa

Title: Alyssa
Developer: Berri
Released: 2014
Genre: Horror, Puzzle


Note: This is the original version. They're currently working on a revamped version of the game. See updates here.

Summary:

Alyssa is a girl who lives in a mansion with her parents and two servants, William and Eleana. On her birthday, she decides to go for a picnic with her parents but they cancel, so she heads to their room to convince them and finds a demon there.

Comments:

Honestly, I have several complaints about the game, but don't let this stop you from playing. Overall, it's still enjoyable. Anyway, the save point is in an annoying place, where there are 2 demons walking around. (Thank goodness they fixed this in the revamped version) You'd be forced to dash every time you try to save and also after you save, which is annoying.

After playing several RPGmaker horror games some things start to get old and nothing feels new anymore, so if you're like me, you may feel a bit bored with the game. The puzzles are nothing new. Some of them you might have already encountered in other games. What does make this game worth playing is its mystery. (Though at some point in the game the plot is already pretty predictable... until you get to the ending and you're like wtf) What really happened?

The art in the game is alright. Alyssa turned out to be an adorable looking loli. The customized tiles look pretty good too. William looks like a girl though. As for the music, I'm hearing some familiar tunes there. Fits the atmosphere fine.

That painting on the right is your save point and heal.

Oh, and look what's guarding it!

Yeah. Little girl can blow up trees!

Seriously, I was expecting William to suddenly stop his goody-two-shoes act and reveal himself to be the mastermind. I mean, he's the person you'd least suspect. Didn't happen so... The WilliamxAlyssa ship lives!! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ But then in the end---*gets shot for almost saying spoilers*

[Walkthrough] Alyssa

Note: This is the original version, not the revamped

After Alyssa mentions something about looking for William

- Talk to knight statue blocking the kitchen
- Enter Alyssa's room
- Go to library and read a book on defeating demons
- Take Lantern inside library
- Examine sacred fire near the entrance
- Throw sacred fire on tree in Alyssa's room
- Examine bookshelf in Alyssa's room
- Get gallery key from the farthest room
- Unlock the room next to it
- Examine painting of woman
- Talk to knight statue
- Take vase in kitchen
- Go outside and fill up vase
- Throw water on sacred fire

Piano Room

- Take key from table

Don't pull ribbon in piano room
Don't pick up letter (unless you want to see End 2)

- Go to the library and read the books you were unable to reach (2nd shelf from the right, 2nd row)

Eleana and William's room

- Examine paintings
- Examine bookshelf
- Examine painting in Eleana's side of the room, press button
- Pick up Weird Key


- Go inside the room with many chairs, unlock door at the top
- When in the strange dimension, head up to the door
- Passcode: 26
- Pull switch located at the right-side area (should be visible as you head right)
- Exit through the right

2 of the choices below lead to the game freezing when you encounter Eleana and William. So, you can't see endings 3 and 4. I haven't tested it out myself (cause I got discouraged from continuing after getting the 2nd ending) but I assume the 3rd choice would lead to ending 1.

I need to save my family!
I've figured you out! - game freezes
I have a secret weapon


Endings:

Note: The developer uploaded a file that lets you see all four endings. You can download it here.

Ending 1: Faceless

Ending 2: Sacred Justice
- Pick up letter

Ending 3: Unloved

Ending 4: A Loving Family

Ending Conditions

12/22/14: Ok, Apparently there's a third ending which allows you to access a bonus playroom after. Thanks to Dyoti for pointing this out.

Since I haven't gotten the last ending yet, here are the conditions for all endings taken from 4 cat's site which I translated to English.

END1

When the notebook is filled up, there's an item you have to obtain before following Coco. (If you have it, a cutscene will follow)

To obtain the item, you have to satisfy the two requirements below. 

Condition 1: Put up a favorable impression when the little boy and two people are there.

Condition 2: Don't wreck Lyell's good spirits too much. (Restrain yourself from rude behavior and disregarding warnings.)

There's no need to walk around back and forth to obtain the item. Only, when you control Lyell, you cannot obtain the item between the time when he starts searching for "that room" and before you obtain the notebook.

END2

Follow Coco out the door while the notebook's pages are still incomplete. (When you collect all the pages, Lyell will say something to himself.)

END 3

Fulfilling the two requirements below is necessary:

Condition 1: Don't put up a favorable impression when the little boy and two people are there.
Condition 2: When Lyell has not yet read the memo on top of the table in the annex, end the game with the stuffed animals

Extra info for END3: To unlock the door inside the room with the stuffed animals, don't read the memo in the room where the boy hid. Read the 2 notebooks, one inside the pink room and another in the master's room.

[Translation] Corpse Party 2U Scene: Yoshiki and Morishige's Costume Play

Because I must share this scene with the world.

From Corpse Party -THE ANTHOLOGY- Sachiko's Game of Love ♥ Hysteric Birthday 2U - Chapter 0

I thank a.doosth for providing me with the raw text.
_________________________________________

【Yoshiki】「After crossing this wooden board…… is another classroom, huh?」

On top of the classroom's desks are several mysterious cardboard boxes.

【Yoshiki】「What kind of trick could it be this time…… Hm？　Morishige…… What are you doing？」
【Morishige】「So it's you, Kishinuma.」
【Yoshiki】「You're not going to proceed？　Is this some kind of quiz？」
【Morishige】「No、it's something that makes you use your body rather than your head. Well, have a look.」

Morishige grabbed the box nearest to him、and showed its contents to Yoshiki。Placed inside it is a maid costume set 。

【Yoshiki】「What the hell is this？　There are cat ears included with the maid outfit？Morishige... you... have this kind of hobby？」
【Morishige】「Of course not！　That's why I'm troubled!」
【Yoshiki】「Troubled……then it's something else？　When I open these boxes, they all contain costumes……」
【Morishige】「If we don't put on those costumes……」
【Yoshiki】「So this is why you couldn't proceed earlier.」
【Morishige】「It's according to Sachiko's explanation」
【Sachiko】「So that's how it is。Now, now, please face the next room and quickly choose one, Kishinuma.」
【Yoshiki】「Because it's her、she won't be kind about the clothes.」
【Morishige】「That is a huge possibility」
【Yoshiki】「Can we really not proceed unless we put these on？」
【Morishige】「I tried to get the door opened, but it doesn't budge.」
【Yoshiki】「As expected……」
【Yoshiki】「（It looks like we really have to follow Sachiko's rules……）」
【Yoshiki】「（Although it's for Shinozaki's sake、if I pull out an embarrassing maid outfit……）」

Yoshiki tried opening the lid of the box nearest to him。

【Yoshiki】「……wha.. 」

A white wedding dress was inside。

【Yoshiki】「Why do I have to wear this！！」
【Morishige】「Although I'm wondering if this was to see what choice we'd make if girls will come……It seems like this is just sexual harrassment.」
【Yoshiki】「You're also calmly analyzing the situation！？」
【Morishige】「Kishinuma。Between the maid outfit and the wedding dress, which would you prefer？」
【Yoshiki】「Huh？」
【Morishige】「I think the wedding dress is preferrable.」
【Yoshiki】「Is... that so？　Though I don't think the wedding dress is preferrable.」
【Morishige】「Then、how about we exchange costumes？　I still feel reluctant to wear it but、we should change into the costume we prefer to wear.」
【Yoshiki】「Exchanging costumes huh……」

Morishige proceeds to exchange the costume he chose.

【Yoshiki】「No wait, isn't there some kind of rule that says exchanging costumes is pointless？」
【Yoshiki】「You're right。We're better off not doing that.」
【Morishige】「The rule definitely stated that it's absolutely necessary to wear the costumes we chose.」
【Yoshiki】「Ugh。So that means I have to wear this wedding dress no matter what.」
【Morishige】「As for me, this maid costume with cat ears……」
【Morishige】「……I knew it、we really have no choice but to put on the costume.」
【Yoshiki】「That's right。We should just hurry and give up。We can think of it as if we're doing some kind of play.」
【Morishige】「Drama, huh。If it's that, I suppose it solves our problem a little……」
【Morishige】「Although I'll probably commit suicide if Mayu sees me wearing this.」
【Yoshiki】「Well……I kinda understand how you feel.」
【Yoshiki】「（I'd also do the same if Shinozaki sees me……）」

【Taguchi】「Good morning, everyone。I'm Taguchi the assault reporter.」
【Taguchi】「Right now, I'm inside the room where the dress-up contest is taking place.」
【Taguchi】「Although I don't know how many female participants remain、Taguchi's heart is beating fast.」
【Taguchi】「Taguchi's heart is racing、Taguchi's heart is racing。It rhymes yet doesn't rhyme.」

【Yoshiki】「Wait, how do we even put on these clothes？」
【Morishige】「It looks like putting it on alone is impossible.」

【Taguchi】「Uh-oh、I've already entered the room。I think the voices I'm hearing sound male？」
【Taguchi】「Unfortunately, they seem to belong to two boys。And these two appear to be Kishinuma Yoshiki-kun and……Sakutaro Morishige-kun.」
【Taguchi】「Let's be still for a short while and see what happens.」

Meanwhile、at that moment。
The screen of the TV inside the auditorium continued to broadcast what was happening。

【Mayu】「S-Shig-nii！？　Wearing a maid costume……What in the world happened！？」
【Morishige】「Kishinuma, sorry but could you pull up the zipper on my back？」
【Yoshiki】「Guess it can't be helped。Although I said I'll do it myself、I can't even put it on.」
【Morishige】「Ah。I'm almost done putting mine on, so I promise to help you put on yours when I'm done.」
【Yoshiki】「That's pretty exaggerated for a promise.」
【Mayu】「（W-Why are the both of them changing clothes together？　And what's more, the costume Kishinuma-kun is putting on looks like a wedding dress？）」

The Yoshiki displayed on the TV stepped on the hem of his skirt and tripped。

【Yoshiki】「Woah！」
【Morishige】「Be careful, Kishinuma.」
【Yoshiki】「S-Sorry。I've never worn clothes with a skirt this long before.」
【Morishige】「Well, you have a point。It would be scary getting used to these clothes……」

【Mayu】「Eeeh！？　Why are they hugging each other？」

【Yoshiki】「Didn't something like this happen before? Except our circumstances now are reversed.」
【Morishige】「Reversed？　There was a time when I fell over and you helped me？」
【Yoshiki】「Of course there was！」
【Morishige】「Ahh, you mean that time……The situation this time is exactly the same……」

【Mayu】「W-What do you mean？　Shig-nii and Kishinuma-kun were that close！？」
【Mayu】「（Now that he mentioned it, there was a time when I saw both of them huddled close together on my way home……）」
【Mayu】「（I wonder if this is something I also shouldn't see like that time……）」
【Mayu】「If I'm not supposed to look, then I won't look！　I won't look, ok? Shig-nii!」

If I close my eyes, I won't see anything scary。
Mayu closed her eyes。

【Morishige】「I knew it……Wearing these cat ears is also necessary？」
【Yoshiki】「Looks like it.」

【Mayu】「（C-Cat ears！？　What in the world are you doing, Shig-nii！）」

【Morishige】「I'm thinking about how a respectable human would wear these…. Umm...Is this how it should feel like？」
【Yoshiki】「What's wrong, Morishige？」
【Morishige】「Come Ojou-sama、let's get you changed！　I shall assist you!」
【Yoshiki】「Huh？　What the hell are you saying……」
【Morishige】「My！　What is with your language！」
【Morishige】「If you were discreet with your words at any time and place like a lady should be、you would always have nothing to say！」
【Yoshiki】「……hey。What happened to you?」

【Mayu】「（Shig-nii！？　Could this be part of his acting？　……Uuu～、It worries me！）」

【Morishige】「There's nothing wrong with me！　Why I am here is for Ojou-sama's sake!」
【Yoshiki】「Who are you calling an ojou-sama！　The feeling of wearing a maid outfit makes you completely a maid？」
【Morishige】「What do you mean 'maid'！　Don't say things I can't understand！」
【Yoshiki】「Hm？　Have you come back to normal？」
【Morishige】「Ojou-sama, why do you say such mean things？　Haa！　Could it be that I've angered Ojou-sama！？」
【Yoshiki】「Huh？　You've become weird again？　No.... Well……However, I was thinking that it's disgusting.」
【Morishige】「Then please punish me！」
【Yoshiki】「Huh！？」

【Mayu】「S-Shig-nii, what are you saying！？」

【Morishige】「For hurting Ojou-sama's feelings, please punish me to your heart's content！」
【Yoshiki】「Even if you say 'please'...」
【Morishige】「My gosh！　What in the world are you planning to do！」
【Yoshiki】「You……what the hell have you been saying since a while ago？　I'm also thrown into confusion.」
【Morishige】「Ahh……how kind of you！　Worrying about me in that manner……」
【Yoshiki】「……Ah、umm……Morishige？」
【Morishige】「Please do as you wish with me。I'll accept whatever punishment you give me！」
【Yoshiki】「…………」
【Morishige】「Please, Ojou-sama！　Punish me！」
【Yoshiki】「Err.. no, a punishment is kinda…… Gosh! Give me a break!」
【Morishige】「Please do something like that to me！」
【Yoshiki】「That's why……」
【Morishige】「Aah……Please。If I don't receive punishment from Ojou-sama, I think I'll go crazy！」
【Yoshiki】「Don't you think you're moving towards a different direction？」
【Morishige】「Uuu……To irritate you this much, this lady is cruel！」
【Morishige】「From receiving punishment from Ojou-sama just through imagination、an exciting feeling runs through my body even though warmth overflows from my heart……！」
【Yoshiki】「Y-You're crazy！　What the hell is this... an S&M play！？」
【Morishige】「Kishinuma, what do you intend to do?!」
【Yoshiki】「N-No, I don't have that kind of hobby or anything……You've been all "Please punish me!" since a while ago!」
【Morishige】「Please……spank me on the butt！」
【Yoshiki】「You want me to spank your butt so you'll feel satisfied？」
【Yoshiki】「（Wait, could this be that？　Like when Shinozaki started acting strange……）」
【Yoshiki】「Morishige, could it be that there's something possessing you？」
【Morishige】「Yes, it looks like it。Since a while ago, my actions don't seem to match what I intend to do……」
【Yoshiki】「It's that, huh.」
【Morishige】「Come, hurry up with my spanking！　Come on！」
【Yoshiki】「Is it really ok to spank you？」
【Morishige】「Don't screw around with me, Kishinuma！」
【Yoshiki】「But if we satisfy the spirit through spanking, it might unexpectedly be able to rest in peace.」
【Morishige】「Hurry up with my spaaaaanking！」

【Mayu】「W-W-W-W-What happened to you, Shig-nii！　You're not the same Shig-nii I know！」

【Yoshiki】「Morishige, it really is the maid costume's fault, huh?」
【Morishige】「I also... agree!」
【Yoshiki】「Then if we tear the maid costume, won't you go back to normal？」
【Morishige】「It's not the costume! Please spank me！　Quick！　Hurry up and spank my butt！」
【Yoshiki】「You kept talking about getting a punishment, but you just really want to be spanked, huh！」
【Morishige】「Who the hell would want to be spanked！　Let's just go with your idea and tear this costume off!」
【Yoshiki】「Alright, I understand！　Don't get mad at me for being a little rough, ok？」
【Morishige】「Kyaaaaaa！」

【Mayu】「（I knew it. Closing my eyes makes me worried.）」

As Mayu struggled to open her eyes, she saw a terribly strange sight before her。
Yoshiki in a wedding dress is tearing the cloth off the chest of Morishige, who was wearing a maid costume with cat ears……！

Mwhahaha. The infamous CG.

【Mayu】「！？　Shig-nii has……Nooooooo！！」

【Morishige】「For a moment, I thought about what might've happened to me……It's thanks to you, Kishinuma, that I'm saved.」
【Yoshiki】「After all, I'm also a victim of this。Getting your sanity back also really saves me the trouble, you know.」
【Morishige】「However, I don't think I'd recover if anyone else saw me act like that a while ago.」
【Yoshiki】「You did say you wanted your butt to be spanked、Hahaha」
【Morishige】「Kishinuma……」
【Yoshiki】「I understand。I'm not supposed to tell anyone, right?」
【Morishige】「If you understand, then everything is fine.」

There was a sound。There was a clear sound of something alive that's moving。
Morishige and Yoshiki simultaneously stared at the direction of the sound。

【Yoshiki】「Is someone around？」
【Morishige】「…………」
【Yoshiki】「Is it just my imagination？」
【Morishige】「No, I'm certain there was a sound.」
【Yoshiki】「I see. Come out！　I know you're hiding in here！」
【Taguchi】「A-A-Ah! I'm sorry。I didn't mean to provoke you or anything.」
【Morishige】「Who are you？」

[Review] フリーゲーム「bury」

Title: フリーゲーム「bury」
Genre: Horror, RPG
Developer: ４段目の猫 (4cat)
Playtime: 2-3 hours
Console: PC

Bury is a game that has a lot of nursery rhyme references, so if you know your rhymes well, it will be an advantage for you in the game.

If you liked Ib or The Witch's House, you'll probably enjoy this game. It has similar puzzle solving stages where you meet strange characters like a cat with a fiddle, talking deer heads, and other talking inanimate objects. The game atmosphere and music really do remind me of Ib a lot. I love the music. It's very suitable for a riddle-solving exploration game.

As you progress through the game, the mystery behind the mansion deepens and you'll probably end up making theories as some stuff starts to become quite complicated.


Summary:

Coco loses her most treasured notebook.

"Perhaps it's in that place..."

"But that place is somewhere I definitely shouldn't go to, right?"

Relying on those words, Coco goes off to look for her notebook.

You play as this girl named Coco who goes inside a mansion to look for her missing notebook. When she steps inside, she sees a shadow and follows it. As she searches for the shadow, she starts to meet strange characters who ask her to solve riddles. Soon, she encounters a little boy and an older man who join her in her quest for her notebook. Could these two be a key to solving the mystery behind the strange mansion?

After playing several games like these, 

it's not surprising anymore that inanimate objects are talking.

I've learned from every other RPGmaker game I've played

that red lips are dangerous. This one is no exception.

"Oh hey there, stranger! Let's go on an adventure together!

....Just don't suddenly stab me in the back."

[Translation] Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient Chapter 1

I dropped the translation for this game when I found out Memories of Fear is working on it. I'm pretty sure they'd make a better English translation, so... yeah. I'll just post up the stuff I managed to translate over here while the translated game isn't released yet.

If you want the partially translated maps, please PM me or leave a comment.

Note: While looking through the game script, there's a narration there that isn't displayed in the actual game. I just translated those too. I'll place them in italic so they can be identified. I won't add in the usual "The door is locked" and short translated stuff in this post.

*Warning: Spoilers ahead*

Major Cutscenes

First Scene:

Inside the dimly lit room, the message tone of a cellphone resounds。
A person typing on a keyboard opened his mail box、,the e-mails received lined up in a row。
All of their subjects were、,『Spiritual Investigator・＊＊＊＊＊'s Spiritual World Correspondence：Consultation Form』。
The man with short black hair sighed and turned his head towards one of the room's corners。

Man: A lot came in. What do I do with this……？

He was obviously troubled but he spoke in a gentle and worried tone。
Light from the window illuminated the room's corner. There was a woman who didn't, move an inch。Her eyes were focused on a white cardigan、while his eyes were focused on her。He sensed no purposeful effort。She was like a plant underneath the sunlight。

Man: ……Now、why don't we close the window? You might catch a cold、Shinozaki――。

First time reaching the main entrance:

It can't be helped that Ayame has to check every room in each floor and return to the lobby.
...while the lobby's lights start to flicker。

Ayame:！　……please wait! Stop……！
Hoping is futile. Eventually, the lights go out. It becomes pitch black.

Ayame: Uugh……
As her misfortune continues, she unintentionally cries and feels angry at the same time。

Ayame：！　Ah……
Ayame:！　Ah……
And she senses an uncomfortable feeling between her legs。

Ayame:……I soiled my clothes again……
Ayame's eyes were downcast。

She is unable to endure it with the anaesthesia making her muscles relaxed。
She was unaware that she lost control of her bladder。
Ayame: Uuugh……I'm sorry……,Stupid me……getting mad at a person from this hospital,
Ayame: If I'm able to do it、I'll have to clean this mess up after……
She proceeds to half run stealthily through the lobby.

Ayame: It's been replaced……with a T-belt (Note: A T-belt is uh... some kind of underwear. Please google it to have a better image. lol)
Ayame replaces it rustlingly.

At that moment
Suddenly, a young girl screams and draws near……triggering a flashback。

？？:……Kyaaaaaa！！！
Far into the darkness a girl with white clothes is running towards Ayame。
？？:Haah、haah、haaah……
Ayame:？！　……What's……wrong？Are you alone……？
？？:……！
The young girl cries in exhaustion、,In the blink of an eye her face is tainted with panic
？？:Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh！！！
The girl immediately screams violently and Ayame wakes up from the flashback。
Ayame: Hii！
Ayame presses herself against the floor with a 'plop'

Ayame:……Haa、haa……
Ayame:……who was that？　That girl just now……

It's like the memory exists yet doesn't。
It's as if her consciousness is protecting her――

Ayame:The memory……won't come out……！
Ayame:……uu！,……nn……kuu……

……when she tries to access the protected memories、her brain throbs and she feels nauseous.
She staggers through the hallway and knocks down a decorative plant。

Ayame: Haa、haa、haa……,What……happened to me……
Ayame：,！　……nn
Ayame:！　……nngh
She makes an unpleasant face as she stared at the area between her legs。

From looking at her legs,she remembers the uncomfortable feeling
Ayame: Nnnn……,That's right、I have to replace it……the T-belt
She rethinks then starts changing the T-belt. Suddenly light from a flashlight appears。
Immediately it illuminates the room:,
Ayame：,！　……（I……It's a person！）
Ayame:！　……（I……It's a person！）
Ayame: Excuse me！　Please help me！
However her companion gives no response and continues to shine light on her。（The light subtly shakes as it is aimed at her）
She is unable to see the person's face because of the strong light。

Ayame:……！　It's so bright
The person's face can't be seen because of the strong light.
step、step……The person draws near。The light also approaches。

However right now she is in the middle of changing the dirtied T-belt。

Ayame:（……Not good、Right now my butt can be seen……,　I should hurry and change the T-belt）
Ayame: Please wait、Right now that……！

Ayame: Umm、that radiant……！
However the person said nothing,
No reply returned
Ayame:……？,（It smells like incense……again？）
Ayame: Kyaa！

Man: Are you ok？

Ayame:（It really is a normal person……Thank goodness……！）
Ayame: Umm……umm……,I……don't know anything……
Ayame: Where is this hospital located？
Five seconds passed after she asked the question。

Ayame:（――？　Did he not hear？）
She thought back upon it、

Man: Are you ok？

Ayame: Yes、umm……mm……,My head hurts.
Ayame:I don't know why I'm here. I can't remember anything……,I feel like vomiting when I try to remember
――。
Man: Are you ok？
Ayame：,……！！
Ayame:……！！
Ayame: A……ghh……

Ayame squirmed as the person struck her head。
The light went out and the man's figure is nowhere to be seen。

Man: Are you ok？
Ayame desperately ran for her life to get away from the man trying to kill her、
「Ahahahahahahaha」In the opposite direction、there was a woman in a red dress laughing madly。
In the first floor west hallway, she was unable to stand due to fear.
The west area corridor's lights is on。However the sound of footsteps and laughter were approaching。
Ayame frantically takes refuge inside the examination room.
What examination room is almost pitch black。Ayame's nervous breathing echoes。
Her breathing becomes normal after a while when the sounds died out。

Sometime later..

Ayame:（……He's gone……？）
Ayame slowly enters the corridor。

Ayame: I-I have to hurry and leave this hospital……Or I'll get killed……
Ayame: If only I can find a window which lets me see what's outside……Perhaps I can get out……

Ayame: I should……investigate

Rescuing Chiyomi:

Ayame: R-Ritsuko！　……that girl,We have to help her！
Ritsuko: It's impossible！　This way won't do！Darn these limitations of old age！
Ritsuko: Aaaaah～～～Gosh！！！！！
Ayame: Waaaaa！
Ayame: Let go！　Get away from her！
Ayame: Ritsuko！　H-Hurry with the key……！？
Ritsuko: Wait！　This thing is hard！！It's all rusty！
Ayame: Uuugh……！
Ayame:A-Are you ok？
＊:Uuu……my elbow was hit, *hic*……*hic*
Ritsuko: It's open！　Hurry！


*I will update this portion in a bit cause I forgot which map the event where Ayame meets Ritsuko is located.



Examining things:

A pair of men's shoes is stuck in between the elevator doors.
The doors repeatedly open and close.

Ayame: No wonder the elevator doesn't come when you press the button.

---------------

There's a sticky tar-like liquid on the floor.,It spreads all over the floor。

Continuously breathing in its smell induces symptoms of heartburn,

Its terrible stench fills the room。

--------------

On the wall, an installed vending machine is uneven and damaged.

A large quantity of canned juice spills out of it。

Ayame notices a strange kind of thirst,affecting her throat。

Ayame: Gulp……

Ayame: I want to drink but…… I didn't bring any money……

--------------

Ayame: No good……I can only get outside through the first floor,Looks like I can't.

Ayame: This is troubling……

In looking for an “Exit” Ayame approaches the west stairs on the 1st floor and enters the 2nd floor with determination。

From the guide map、there's an emergency exit noted across the 2nd floor's southeast （lower right）operating room。

Ayame decides to focus on that。

Ayame: The exit……the exit is…………ah

Ayame: Southeast on the 2nd floor、across the operating room……There's an 『Emergency Exit』

-------------

On the wall is a large picture meant to heal the patient's heart.

Cute animals and their motto are on the poster affixed on the wall。

However, there are no images of humans free of their desolate circumstances.

Instead, there are inorganic and ominous images。

Other Events:

Ayame:（What's happening……? What in the world is this……?,　If this is a dream, I should hurry and wake up？）

Ayame:（……Nothing……I can't remember anything……,　I feel weird……）

She can't remember her own identity, even her family。

She furrows her brows and thinks as hard as she could。

She still couldn't remember anything。

Before long, she gets off and staggers as she walks.

Ayame: Anyhow……I should find a way out……of this hospital

She leaves the hallway。

------------------------

Ayame: There are……a lot of people……

Ritsuko:……Those guys are terrible！――Look at……their clothes

Ayame:……！This hospital's mark is there

Ritsuko: These people were certainly staff members of this hospital

Ayame: That's！

Ritsuko:……A “patient”！

Ritsuko:……Looks merciless……

Ayame: L-Let's go Ritsuko. I'm starting to feel sick……

[Review] Alicemare

Title: Alicemare
Developer: Miwashiba
Translator: vgperson

"The ant told me that the frog is bad."

"The frog told me that the cat is bad."

"The cat told me, no, the rabbit is the worst of them all."

"So I…"

I played this game because I like games with s'plorin', puzzles, Alice-themed things, and strange worlds. Alicemare has some psychological stuff in it too and dark pasts. The character sprites are so adorable. It also has a nice dream-like color palette.

So you play as this child named Allen who lives in an institution with other children and "Teacher" (Yeah. You don't know his name for most of the game). He lost his memories in an accident and it's his first night at the institution. So Teacher goes, "Obey the rules. Don't go out of your room at night." But like most horror game protagonists who are told that, Allen does go out of his room to investigate, but teacher stops him. He goes to sleep and wakes up in an odd dreamworld. There, he meets Cheshire and enters a closet that leads him to NARNIA a room with many doors. The White Rabbit then asks Allen to help him bring back the keys.

Behind each door is the world or dream of one of the children at the orphanage. There are tons of puzzle solving stuff there and also some re-enactments of their past memories. So Allen goes through the doors and meets the other children. Together, they go explore the dreamworld and find the keys.

This game has a lot of endings, some of them unsettling. The truth about the world is revealed if you read Teacher's diary, but you have to figure out his name first.

[Review] Seven Mysteries

Title: Seven Mysteries
Genre: Horror
Developer: Sanggameboy (Le Hong Sang)
Original Language: Vietnamese
Translators: Greater Good 45 | Blurry Mind | Neku Sakuraba


The game's charm is in its story telling and how they based the stories on a set of fictional ghost stories from Kindaichi Case Files. It's what drew me in in the first place. You can search up some info on the Seven Mysteries of Fudo High so you can better appreciate the game if you're planning to play it.

I love how the stories all connect. That as you play each chapter, you get a better understanding of what exactly is going on because the stories narrated in each chapter are all happening simultaneously. There's also a huge twist in the end, which gives this game extra points.

Scariness factor? Well, with the dark school hallways which you explore with just a flashlight or candle and the creepy background music, will scare perhaps those not quite used to the horror game atmosphere yet. Based on my standards, it's far from scary and relies heavily on loud sounds and jump scares. Jump scares are important in horror games, but inducing fear without them and just letting fear creep into the player gradually is something I look for in a horror game. Yes. I want to be horribly disturbed.

My reaction to this game? I kept laughing for the first 3 chapters. And there's nothing that's meant to be funny in this game. I just found so many random things funny. When something is out of place or too exaggerated, that's when I start laughing. The chapters after that got me intrigued, cause it's where they start to reveal the truth and stuff.

Overall, this game isn't bad. It's like listening to a classmate telling you ghost stories and later finding out the gruesome secrets behind them, which is pretty enjoyable.


Summary:

1: Thirteen Steps

You play as Sang in this chapter. Sang and My are on night patrol, walking through the hallway with flashlights. At some point, they end up splitting up. Sang's flashlight runs out of battery. (Sucks for him.) Suddenly, he hears the sound of glass breaking. Thinking it's a prank pulled by My, he unlocks the classroom door and finds the window broken. He peers through the window and finds someone standing outside.
Goes looking for My to warn her and passes the stairs. He stops and remembers playing counting steps with "him", so he decides to count the steps. He's sure there are 12 steps, buuut... he ends up counting 13 steps in all. After he continues walking, My suddenly drops from the ceiling and went *splat* on the floor. (It was so random. I was just like... lalalala s'plorin'.... *SPLAT* WOAH LOLWTF.)

Am I a maniac for laughing at this scene?

2: The Music Room

This time, you control My. As she walks alone in hallway, the piano starts playing in music room, so she decides to go check it out. When she enters the room, the door closes and she's locked in. (Such typical horror game scenario) Suddenly, light flashes and bloody dead students are littering the room for a brief moment. My mutters, "It has started." (For a minute there, she sounded like a paranormal investigator who knew exactly what was happening.) Then, a notebook drops on the floor. And *poof* there's suddenly a rope ladder so she climbs that. As she goes through the mysterious attic place, she bumps into blonde haired glasses guy who screams as if he just saw a ghost and runs away. My continues walking, but falls through hole and dies.

3: The Chemistry Lab

You play as Loi for this chapter (who's the dude My bumped into.) He comments about how creepy the candles are so he should turn on the lights. WAIT. DUDE, LIKE WHY DIDN'T YOU TURN THEM ON IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY ARE YOU WAITING IN A ROOM WITH LIT CANDLES ALL OVER THE PLACE? THAT'S PRETTY SHADY.

Anyway, so he flips the switch on but it doesn't turn on, so he decides to look for his other classmates and bumps into one of them, Mahn, at the door. He's happy... but then the guy hits him with a knife. lolwtf So Loi grabs a knife and fights him in the dark.

When he gets to the cafeteria, his other classmate Minh tries to kill him too. so he's desperate for light so he turns on the oven and it explodes. Loi gets thrown outside from the blast. THAT'S ONE SCARY OVEN. AND HOW IS THAT GUY STILL EVEN ALIVE AFTER BEING BLASTED THROUGH CONCRETE WALLS?!

EVEN THE OVEN IS TRYING TO KILL YOU.

Then he suddenly goes on "kill or be killed" mode and decides that he must kill everyone. He walks around the school grounds and finds a window where the shattered glass sound came from. He peers in and sees someone inside. (Note: Sang also peered through the window in chapter 1) Something appears behind Loi and pokes or pushes him, then disappears.

He heads inside and goes on a killing spree. (I had fun stabbing people in this part of the game. lol) Then, he wakes up in chem lab. IT WAS JUST A DREAM?! But he's holding a knife... so IT WAS REAL. Then Mahn enteres the room and complains about how he's taking too long. Mahn is alive?! They go to where everyone else (all of the people Loi stabbed earlier) was. They're still alive?! Loi becomes frightened and says, "Stay back!" He climbs up the rope ladder bumps into My who now looks deformed, so he screams and runs.

4: The Library

You play as Tuan this time. He's locked in the library. As he searches around, he finds a list of students who transferred. He wonders why a lot transfer every month. So, he continues to search the room and finds a pretty badly drawn map that indicates where the 4 treasures are. He goes "Well, if I'm going to be killed anyway, might as well enjoy treasure hunting." (Well, somewhere along those lines.) So he ends up finding a  rope, a calendar, a pen, and a diary.

(Note: The diary is the notebook that dropped when My was in the music room. Apparently, Tuan was hiding under the table the whole time. Aand, he was the one who broke the window in the classroom)

This soo reminds me of Ib.
Plus, the hallway music sounds like the same one from Ib too.

5: Good Morning

This chapter is narrated by student named Linh. Everything in this chapter is what's written in the diary. I'll leave this part as a surprise because it's what ties all the events together. It's best if you played it yourself.

6: The End...?

You control Tuan again and go check out that secret room mentioned in the diary. He gets locked in. Then weird stuff start happening once he tries to get the door opened. (I must admit. This scene was directed pretty well.) After the weird stuff, he leaves the room and follows a trail of red arrows. Once he enters the room they lead to, he relives the memories of Linh. His eye is hit by a stone and starts bleeding so he walks to the infirmary. (The surreal effect is cool and all but I hate how it's hard to tell where you're going or what you're examining.) He gets to the infirmary, grabs the first aid kit and heads to the library. After he uses it, he wakes up in the infirmary the day after (?). OR IS THIS ANOTHER ILLUSION? Well, he walks to the classroom and talks to Sang and My (WHY ARE YOU ALIVE?!) who tell him that there are illusions caused by paranormal activity that take place at night in the school and he's caught by it so he has to die in another's illusion so he won't die in real life. WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?! I DON'T TRUST YOU SANG. YOU KNOW TOO MUCH.

I STILL DON'T TRUST YOU, SANG!

Tuan tells Sang to meet him after class. When they meet, Tuan tells him that he knows how to break the curse. He asks Sang to lead him to a place with lots of mirrors. Once Tuan discovers the secret entrance, Sang pushes him in. TRAITOR!

This game has several different endings. This summary is based on my first play, in which I got a bad ending. lol

[Review] Toilet In Wonderland

Title: Toilet in Wonderland
Release Date: Jan 2010
Developer: Team Nonsense
Genre: Horror
Translator: Memories of Fear

Download Here

If you're up for strange and extremely weird games, I'd definitely recommend Toilet in Wonderland to you. If I had to describe this game in a single phrase it's "Yume Nikki on crack". Yes. It's as if the developer was high while making this game. Weirdness factor aside, I did enjoy playing it and getting killed by Mario.

You control this constipated girl with orange hair named Mira. The objective of the game is to find all toilets in the "Wonderland". You can reduce her constipation rate by collecting laxatives spread out in the world. As MJ puts it:

Seriously... what's he doing in that game?

The game also has this thing called "Actions" you can set like "Punch" and "Become Bald". When you set a certain action, the person or object you interact with might react differently or an event might happen. Personally, I like setting "Punch" and just punching everything I see because some things do end up exploding and leaving a pool of blood. In other cases, like Mr. Cow, he just starts shouting.

There's a cow blocking the way.

Most of the time, you'll be exploring and stopping and staring and digesting all the weirdness you encounter. On some portions (Well, this game IS categorized as a horror game) you WILL get chased.... like several times. Oh, and this game has one of the most annoying type of jumpscares too (If you've played The Witch's House, it's kinda like the jumpscares there where they come when your guard is down.)

At some point in the game, you'll just start to wonder what the point of the game is. However, if you've played Yume Nikki before, then you'll realize that you'll just have to keep exploring and collect everything to see if something really does happen.

Err... Who's this guy? O.o

I just made friends with a fire extinguisher!

Some Trivia: This game won 2nd place at the VIP RPG Red-and-White 2010 festival
