An esoteric exploration of metaphysical laws. Direct sequel of Eastern Mind, using the same engine and continuing the story. While shorter, it's very polished and filled with details, making for a really enjoyable experience, albeit more streamlined compared to its predecessor.

Like in Eastern Mind, Osamu Sato takes us into a land of primitive colors and forms, where the sensorial talks in ways no other games could replicate. Accompanying the already strange visuals, you have one of the most unique and impressive soundtracks, which mixes traditional oriental music with 90s experimental electronic, even nowadays it hasn't aged a bit. And on top of these bizarre forms and music, there's the strangely familiar personalities of the characters, even though they and the world they live works completely different from ours(or not?) they aren't hard to relate, as matter of fact the whole game has a sort of simplicity in its interactions that somehow bridges these strange worlds with us, consolidating the experience.

Hey, we think we've seen this one! Yeah... While we don't have a true "favorite of all time", this game might be the most US game, if that makes sense.

Really, we could say the same things about this game as Eastern Mind, but we said we'll say our piece here: this is such a delightfully strange little point & click adventure game with a surprisingly large amount of things to love about it. The graphics are so strange, but very pretty to look at. The music is as experimental and baffling as ever. We're practically engrossed in the weird worldbuilding the game presents. In a way, this game feels like it was kinda made for us.

We beg of you--check out the english translation for this game. We'd go as far as to call it and Eastern Mind "must play" games if you're looking into point & clicks. It has to be experienced to be believed.

Osamu sato remember you are the goat
