Real interesting part of the lore to cover here, I feel like this is pretty accurate to how it would have gone down. I also liked the implication that the person in the audience may be a familiar face.
Hang in there Yumemi :(
I cannot rate this high as a game, but it's nice to see focus on Yumemi. The writing was very impactful and really depressing. Thanks for sharing this!
yeah totally fair, vns just don't totally apply to all the categories.
i didn't think this little thing would be taken seriously, but i'm really happy that so many people found something cool in it. thanks for playinggggg
It always makes me happy when people take PC98 lore seriously. Most of the plots aren't that different from Windows era games in terms of funny situations and goofy characters. The whole storyline with Yumemi doing her thesis on magic is one of the better ones overall in my book.
this game is an allegory for The Man, duuuude
i made it after i went to yale and tried to show them my awesome science but they told me "there is no such thing as \"quantum teleporting\"" and "you just got blackout drunk and woke up in a ditch" and "please leave"
its fucked up
A very enjoyable read, definitely the most interesting presentation I've "listened" to in a while. Now I'll never know who that last audience member was (I almost expected them to be Maribel for some reason).
glad you liked! i honestly did not think many people would even play this game but looky all these comments i slacked on responding to for a while huh? awesome stuff
you've got quite the eye! maybe! who knows! aeon is making more touhou fangames that are maybe related! can't say spoilers! thanks for playing!
Hm, yes, yes. (Nods along with all the sciencing in the VN.) Sort of expected that weird occultist to turn out to be another MC or something, but welp. That was a nice, short ride.
i do sooo much sciencing you don't even knooooow how many times i've beaten steins;gate and outer wilds. it's at least once! i even read doctor stone! this makes everything i say not only valid but proven
weird occultist is maybe a tiny bit a setup for. maybe another aeon touhou game in the future. who knows. i'm just yumeming
This is a good kinetic novel and knowing that it was made around 3 hours before the submission deadline makes me wonder what it could become if more time were spent on it!
Good job!
thank you!
i would like to polish my lil vn setup in general as well as have had more time but hey, i'm just happy i was able to fart out a second entry at all
Ghosts are scary indeed.
And this is a very nice story.
i'm not scared! i know i'm better at smash bros than any ghost!
Cute game! Love seeing some Yumeni backstory.
yumemuy................
yumnuuy. .. . .
It's not bad for what it is. It seems like a reasonable origin story and its well written.
With sound, it'd be a solid short kinetic novel.
you know what i probably shoulda just gone to freesound for five minutes for something. it is the ultimate resource
thanks for playing!
Underrated character, and a very interesting point of view of what happened to her, sad that she couldn't prove anything with everything she had while Sumirenko got every proof she needs with a cellphone and just mocks at it...
shame they don't have such advanced technology as cell phones in yumemis agae, only caveman tricks like a time machine.....................
but i guess the science team aren't natural born zoomers like sumireko. yumemi didn't even mention among us in the whole game!
I have no words
2spooky out of 2spooky
Edit: Aeon, I’m sorry cause I assumed this was just the first dialogue because I kept hitting space. Gonna actually go through this and give it a real review
Edit edit: Pretty interesting story actually. It’s nice to see Yumemi in the Outside World and see how her magic studies were reacted to. I’m glad she’s not too let down after losing her position either.
space to advance! yeah i probably shoulda had that, or at least a readme or something that told you that it was enter
gladja liked and thanks for trying a second time
Funnily enough, I've never actually seen this story written out. Interesting interpretation.
i am a fair bit late but thank you
there was originally going to be multiple segments featuring different dudes and the game would be called "ghost stories" but i only had time for yumembo so it became single
