PANCAKE'S PROFILE

There's no fan translation yet, actually! Aeon Genesis has been working on one, and it's anyone's guess when it might be finished...

Indeed for me the hardest part of this remake has been to make sense of the chronology, events and lore of the game without a good English reference, but after a while things have started to come together. My Japanese is not that good, and there are several scenes later in the game whose meaning escapes me even still. The game's writing is objectively a bit vague sometimes...

It's at Liana's blog that I first came to learn of this game - I'm going to pass all authority on my attempts at naming characters & places to her! Without her enthusiastic writings I wouldn't have known to try and persist with it, and ending up liking the game a great deal!

Hey, a first game appears! I liked the writing, could play the game sans mapping. There's a black tile that comes with every default tileset - fold in the empty rooms and make the houses smaller, and dot their edges with the black tile. You shouldn't try to fill the 17x13 for each house (unless you believe the House of Leaves rule should fit your game - that a house REALLY is larger on the inside than the outside).

You've took the default tilesets and used them in interesting ways, not all of them work, however. Overworld tileset as the mountain area? Exciting, and passable. The actual overworld? Disjointed and schizophrenic.

I didn't make it farther than exploring the very first cave, but I'll get to the rest soon.

Yeah an oversight with incorrect starting location at the moment. Encrypted file so we can't do anything about it until a new DL either. A scene starts if you move north but you get KOd by an impossible battle.
