Yōkaimaki

Kanlı ay bir kez daha yükseldi, bu da yōkai'lerin (kriptiler) denizin karanlık derinliklerinden ortaya çıktığı anlamına geliyor. Aile restoranının varisi olarak, lezzetli yokai suşi servis etmek için balık tutma ve yemek pişirme becerilerinizi kullanın!

ヨーカイを釣り上げて寿司を作るゲーム。釣りパートと料理パートの2つから構成されていて、数回これを繰り返すとエンディングを迎えるもよう。全編英語ながら、操作はマウスのみであり直感的にわかりやすい内容なので、説明を読まなくても遊べると思う。 ちなみにゲームそのものは面白いかというとそんなことはない。1回プレイすれば充分な内容であって、せめて実績があればなぁと思った。

A simple short game with memorable art reminiscent of old Japanese paintings. To start the designs of the yokai and general artstyle is one of the games strongest points. The designs veer close to their traditional depictions only taking minor artistic liberties at times and the artstyle is clearly inspired by the older style of paintings those traditional depictions are in as well. Each yokai is given a distinct call when you come close to them, which can be both fittingly unsettling and helpful for distinguishing them in the later darker levels. While the gameplay of both the fishing minigame and the sushi making minigame doesn’t change or add anything to the common formula and is very easy, it is not the main draw of the game as I see it. That would rather lie in the subtle horror atmosphere created by the art and sound design as well as each of those components individually. There is a minimal amount of story at the start of each day, but it serves mostly as set dressing. As it stands there isn’t a lot to the game past its premise and art, but with how short it is it can still be enjoyable for about half an hour if you have the time to spare.

很无聊的游戏，不好玩。

Cooking mythological spirits and eating them seems like a bad idea, but made for a neat game! The game is in two components, catching, and cooking. To catch your Yokai, you just have to move the hook near their mouth, and balance the green bar around the fish icon. To cook them, you're given a recipe, and have to drag the needed creature chunks to the preparation mat. You need to have payed attention to what your critters were called, as your ingredients aren't labeled, but it's usually fairly obvious which creature became what meat. There aren't many levels, I cleared the game in about 15mins. The only issue I found was the last level was a bit stuttery for some reason. Was a really odd, but enjoyable play. Hopefully I'm not cursed or something now for eating these things...

Game freezes when picking to go fish.
