Was having a Myst itch and wanted to see if my Japanese could survive a complicated adventure game with many voice-only lines, so giving the original Seven Mansions another shot! Going much better now~ We're hired to solve the mystery of Seven Mansions and find the fortune before it's too late!

No kidding, this game's why I'd been interested in getting to translations, and though a very dumb beginning on my part, it truly worked out in the end and now a climb waits for us all; this means genuinely so much to see out now. Have fun, and tell certain beds that Eight Mansions sent you!

Seeing a lot of Spectral Tower hate in the comments of Punchy's video, so gotta remind everyone that it's a life-changing experience of purgatory in and out of game where a cruel god dangles freedom in front of you before watching you fall into despair repeatedly. But you stand anyway and punch god

At one point, a thief stole all my items including the sword I had equipped, and when I got lucky and killed him he didn't drop any of it. Perfect game, no notes.

Screenshot from the game Spectral Tower:

The player investigates the "Useless Sword" they start with, and the description reads "A sword that has absolutely no positive effects."

Screenshot from the game Spectral Tower:

The player attempts to equip the item "Useless Sword" and the response is: "Your Weapon level is too low to equip Useless Sword."

That may be the funniest thing ever written in a video game.

Screenshot from the game Spectral Tower:

Player gets a critical hit on the boss of the first tower, killing him instantly.

Screenshot from the game Spectral Tower:

Brief cutscene at the end of the first tower. The player stands on top of the tower looking out at a sunrise/set, accompanied by the text "After slaying Brimolin, a part of my soul felt peace," which is an accurate statement for me as well.

Oh. Oh wow. Yeah, so, Spectral Tower is widely considered one of the worst dungeon crawls ever made. Some people are just using their translation powers for evil.

If you do support this memorial pack and want to play Card of Destiny, let me know and I'll teach you how to make some sick swords! Elemental swords absolutely carry through this game, it's absurd (as there's no real magic defense stat + swords can be infinite magic damage)

I can now say I've joined the ranks of the 3 people who have finished Card of Destiny Was definitely 80% story 20% dungeon crawling, but both parts made it worth it and had a great time! The 3 route structure really helped in the execution and development of the characters. Final boss crumpled lol

Sometimes strange insults lead you to learn something new, today being "toilet crickets" are a colloquial name for camel crickets in Japan from their love of bathrooms! --- Ikka: "Shut it and get the hell away from me! You're lower than a pig! You earthworm! You toilet cricket!!"

Ikka: "Shut it and get the hell away from me! You're lower than a pig! You earthworm! You toilet cricket!!"

They are fairly common invaders of homes in Hokkaido and other chilly regions in Japan. They are called kamado-uma or colloquially benjo korogi (便所コオロギ, literally, "toilet cricket").

Fara, Minna, and McLeod all in a battle, which should not generally be possible.
