A beautiful and lighthearted point-and-click adventure game. No epic journeys, no intense fights, no frightening revelations, just a gentle adventure in Yukari and co.'s dreams. I love the music and visuals a lot - good work to the team!

Just one small suggestion: make an option that allows Yukari to run if you click on a location or an item multiple items in succession. The game is quite short, but it'll be a nice quality-of-life feature nonetheless. 

With all that said, I bring you this image: https://imgur.com/a/yRmh6BB

Thank you for the comment and the image(?) !

A point and click adventure game going straight for my heart. I adored this one, especially loved how completely done Yukari is with this whole thing.

Pretty much the only thing I didn't super like was how slow it was to get to point A from B when I got lost and was trying to find things to click on, but even that came with a touch of nostalgia for the genre. Lovely crafted, with really cute visuals and lots of funny background events that helped liven up the experience.

Thank you very much for making! I had a blast.

Thank you for your comment!

We have another point-and-click touhou fangame released last year, 'Subterranean Detectives Orin and Satori'. If you enjoyed this one, you might like the other one too!

I love the old point-and-click adventure games, and this one is an adorable little romp that I had a good time figuring out. 

There were some initial issues (likely related to figuring out the progression of items on my end,) but most notably, I had no idea there was a "Suzunaan" level. A sign may have been helpful there, but I otherwise have no complaints!

The art was cute as hell, the writing was witty, and the characters really shine through, with the puzzles being both clear and challenging. Good game!

Developer

Thank you so much!

If you like point-and-click adventures,  you might also enjoy our previous point-and-click Touhou fangame 'Subterranean Detectives Orin and Saotir'. Give it a try if you'd like!

Oh, I didn't realize that was you! I really enjoyed that game too. Looking forward to what the next one will entail. :)

That end credit song is a banger.

... and she put the purple sauce on Yuyuko's burger? Is this some Freudian symbolism?

Developer

Thanks!

Not really. "Yakumo Sauce" is just an in-joke from a discord server we're in

A very charming romp around a mostly familiar Gensokyo.

It might not be clear that "wake up" ends the game and cause the player to lose all progress. Especially since, at least for me, the placement of the option makes it feel like it might be a gameplay mechanic.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

The "wake up" button is a result of not having enough time to implement a proper game menu, we're fixing it for the post-jam update

there are just some incredibly high quality entries on the art side of things this jam can you believe this shit daryl back to back im playin stuff like this where is it all coming from

im about to complain a bit but dont even take it against you

FIRST: damnnnnnnn this bitch walkin just as slow as she does in soku!! the animation is nice though

SECOND: i got stuck :[
dont know what to do after getting patty. otherwise the puzzles are pretty good and it didnt feel like i had to bruteforce it

THIRD: i cried when opening this thing up in undertalemodtool (gamemaker vm decompiler). please use scripts and structs. it is okay though the game works very well for being a jam game

FOURTH: except there is an item dupe. renko is so interested in chen that you can pick her up and put her down and continually acquire jelly donuts

STILL it is a fantastic game very funny very big i rate five


Developer

Thank you for your comment!

The infinite Chen/onigiri bug is a known issue we're patching for the post-Jam update

**Spoiler**

Once you have all the ingredients click on the plate in the kitchen

We tried drawing the player's attention to it by putting a little spotlight on it, but I guess it can still be a bit tricky to notice sometimes

I get stuck when i have a leaf and the gap full of water, for some reason i can't use it on reimu burning shrine. What should i do?

Developer

**Spoiler**

Have you been to Suzunaan yet? Go there and come talk to Reimu afterwards.

"Chen! How did you get up there! Get down!"

The game ends at this point...

The artwork is super cute and I love how nicely the UI and artwork fit together. It's been ages since I've played a point-and-click adventure, but I'm now wishing you'd make more of these. It was adorable and quite true to the genre. Nice job!

Developer

Thank you!

We actually released another point-and-click Touhou fangame last year, 'Subterranean Detectives Orin and Satori', so check it out if you'd like!
