49 days because in buddhism, it takes 7 weeks for the soul to pass on and reincarnate
I love weird adventure games, I had no idea this guy made anything besides LSD dream emulator. These are definetly going on my list
hey, glad people are getting mileage out of the fan translation. took a long time to put together, ever since we first found the game in 2013 or so - i have to agree with many of the points you made about it being a lot more boring and linearly paced than the first game. it took a unique formula and ironed it out to a more conventional type of game, which really hurt its potential in my eyes. cheers.
Thank you for your work!
@@luasaturni3092hi
Finally someone is doing the other games he made. Looking forward to this
SO glad i found my way to this channel, your content is just what the doctor ordered, and i see the channel blowing up in no time. Great presentation and commentary all around. Also, i really appreciate you adding actual subtitles. As someone with an audio processing disorder, its REALLY nice to actually be able to fully immerse myself in the video and understand whats being said. Thanks for the hard work,cant wait for more!!
FINALLY someone is covering Tong Nou! I fell in love with this wacky game and it's eclectic style six years ago, looking to other games by the developer. Easily one of my favorite early 3D games and you do a great job showing off how wild these games are.
Great vid! I love learning about strange obscure games like these ones.
I hope you'll continue to cover Japanese games so that I can continue to unleash japanese lore on you hehe :) *cracks knuckles*
The five magatama Rin needs to collect might allude to the Shinto concept of Ichirei Shinkon, according to which, the mind consists of a spirit (naohi) that's connected to four souls, all of which represent aspects of one's personality. They're the aramitama (rough/crude spirit, the most raw, untamed, animalistic aspects), nigimitama (harmonious spirit, the diplomatic side), kushimitama (wonderous spirit, the aspect that percieves and understands) and sakimitama (joyous spirit, the aspect that loves and cares).
The fact that they represent the five elements is probably derived from Taoism and the concept of wuxing, the five phases. And they're magatama because magatama are believed to represent souls.
As for the second game's minimap, the Sun, Moon and Star palaces represent the three lights (三光). They were meant to symbolize Amaterasu Omikami, Tsukuyomi no Mikoto and Susano-o no Mikoto respectively. The Magatama planet is in the middle because it's believed that these three forces influence one's fate.
Also the Milky Way's archaic name in Japanese translates to "Heavenly River" and it was believed to be the border between Heaven and Earth. Rivers in general represent transitional areas (liminal spaces if you will).
Boom. Coming through with the lore yet again. Nice.
I’ll be mixing it up, but more Japanese games in the future for sure.
Shout out to azuritereaction to introducing me to lsd and eastern mind
eastern mind has a special place in my heart, super awesome to see another video made on this gem and its sequel
Have you ever heard of the game Total Distortion? That is a weird and old game that seems right up your alley. It also has probably the best game over song of any game I've seen.
Never heard of it. I’ll check it out!
You are dead, dead dead... Such a banger
awesome video! i'd love to see a video of his other two pc games (roly polys & roly polys world tour) which were previously lost media and were very recently found and preserved
This video just hit my homepage, and I started clapping like one of those cymbal monkey toys. Great work.
Many thanks for the commentary on the gameplay.
I wasn't so sure in trying Tong Nou, but now I'm definitely interested.
I love your channel, btw. Chill, long length, and you go over games I never heard of beforeb
man, loving your videos & you're tapping right into the nostalgia each time; bravo & hope your channel gets the attention it deserves !
Dude I’ve just found your channel and I’ve been binging all your videos, these are really great and you’re covering lots of stuff I’ve never seen before. Keep it up!
Man, if only reality were like this. I mean, it makes more sense to me than the confusing nightmare realm our world has become
i found you through japanese folklore games videos and am watching like all of your videos now and its so fun! your humour is just right to me
Each video I go back on, I have the pleasure of watching you grow. I subbed at maybe 3 or 4k, and i hope you keep growing, your videos are so freaking good!!
I just found your channel and honestly I love it. Keep it up and keep them coming. This is the kind of youtube I like and want to support.
Thanks! Glad you found your way here.
You have excellent taste for old video games. Gonna give you a sub for being such a cool person who enjoys what they do.
If you like the experience of playing a really weird game that begins to reveal its internal logic to you over time, I'd recommend Ice Pick Lodge's The Void if you haven't tried it already.
Oh nice. Never heard of it. I’ll check it out for sure.
@@dungeonchillprepare for a lot of confusion though. It's a great and bewildering game and nailbiting hard on the first playthrough, but its art direction and uncannyness is pretty worth it.
I love your videos and style. Thank you.
I can't believe you have such few views and subscribers, you deserve way more dude but I'm still glad you're putting up videos!
Just found you now I’m binge watching until Halloween comes around time be weirded out.
Have you heard about "Iblard Laputa no kaeru machi", "Cookie's Bustle", "Kowloon's Gate", "Garage Bad Dream Adventure" and "Nemuru Mayu"?
I think they would be a good fit for your channel
I’ve heard of all of those except for Cookie’s Bustle. Have Garage on Steam but haven’t played it yet. These are all on the list for future videos!
"Laputa"? Is this one based on either gulliver's travells or the miyazaki movie?
@@dr.ramilo84 It's based on the paintings of Naohisa Inoue
@@CrayonMechant ah I see. I asked so because of the "Laputa" part
@@dr.ramilo84 You're not wrong either, since Miyazaki took inspiration from Inoue's art to create the movie.
They even did three more short stories in collaboration with Inoue which are:
- Mimi wo sumaseba (1995)
- Hoshi wo katta hi (2006)
- Iblard Jikan (2007)
I had seen the "fun character" before but didn't know where it was from.
Good work as always my guy.
As someone who's favourite Osamu Sato games are Chu-Teng and Tong-Nou this video makes me very happy
The little "fun fun fun" guy is some terrance mckenna dmt realm shit.
Excellent video on an excellent channel. Sometimes the algorithm works
Sweet dude. Love your videos.
Oh wow, I had Eastern Mind back in the day and it was fun! I had no idea it was by that guy...
Oh man...this is a trip
just subbed! super entertaining stuff
I don't know how I ended up finding this channel, but I'm glad I found it. Subbed immediately. Don't know if you're into racing games, but you should defo check out Racing Lagoon as it finally got translated about a year ago. Think Final Fantasy, but the encounters are Need For Speed races.
I Just watched all your videos while working on mine in one day aha
Really good channel overall ! Big Grimbeard vibes and I fucking dig it ! (I know you get that a lot, but hey, it's really a compliment imo aha)
The mood is perfect, the narration top notch and the jokes are perfectly timed !
Congrats, You won my sub !
always wanted to play these games and now i can with virtual machines. i still remember the day i first found out about Dream Emulator and finding out he did other games on PC that were more crazy awesome looking. also on a side note i hope his other PS1 game Tokyo Wakusei Planetokio will get a fan translation some day.
Honestly the dated as hell CG is what got me. It's nothing truly fascinating, that's just how CG looked like in 1995, but it's always fun seeing what bizarre imagery people made, or, at least, tried to make, at the time.
I wonder some of the hitogata (iconic japanese lost media) vague recollections can be attributed to 4:43...
I wish he would do a VR game. It's amazing how evocative LSD is to the feel of a dream experience.
This is something i need to play late at night
You got my submission good sir.
I am convinced, any character named "Rin" is gonna be some kinda outcast.
I recently had my first psychedelic experiences and have to say, LSD was very comforting and wholesome. However, i no longer have ANY interest in mushrooms lol
I will say ime lsd is less chaotic than psilocybin.
Hey man, I can probably guess you've considered doing a video on Baroque for the Saturn right?
Love the channel.
Ohhhh yay i didn't know chu teng got a translation!!
One of my friends just streamed LSD on stream. Ok, that sounds weird but still. I didn't know Sato did other games prior to the mindtrip/grandpa of walking sim games came out.
For some reason his games and music have a similar feeling and vibe to umamis animated films.
I'd love for you to talk about DeSPIRIA someday, it is such an interesting psycho-horror game with turn-based rpg elements
I heard that it was published by Atlus, but not directly made by them
Man your channel is amazing, I'm so glad youtube recommended your videos to me!! That was a great video and thank you for putting subs, it's really helpful!
video is pretty good
Great video but, I would've loved a bit more insight into the story of Chu-Teng.
Let’s gooooo
Heya! Discovered your channel recently and I gotta say I'm loving your videos!
Have you played the PS1 style survival horror game "Alisa"? It should be right up your alley 😁 it's on steam and will get a multi-console release soon...
And yeah, I voice act in the game so kind of a shameless plug but also a genuine recommendation 🙏
Alright fine I'll subscribe
Oh yeah, those crazy games...
I watched all of your vidéos in one night. Very good content. A game i would liké you ton cover is Maken X on thé Dreamcast. There IS a PS2 enhanced port called Maken Shao : démon Sword.
It IS a hack n slash made by some of the shin Megami tensei team but flew under the radar.
I'd love to see what this guy would make in thr modern era
Obligatory comment for the algorythm! keep up the good work!
I became a patreon member but could only afford the lower tier...so I am putting my name here instead. Have been meaning to play these games for a while. I have listened to Sato's music a lot and own one of his books, Alphabetical Orgasm.
I appreciate the support! And yeah, his music and art are both amazing.
Ah yes, DIVINE LIGHT SEVERED.
I highly wanna recommend a few games to you!
Lisa and its entire series, especially Lisa: The Painful is my top suggestion! Earthbound like game with very trippy elements, secrets and a dark but oddly human storyline
These next two series are really dark and mature so proceed with caution
Fear&hunger and fear&hunger termina, very dark dungeon crawlers with incredibly deep mechanics and many branching paths and ALOT of secrets
Wadanohara and the deep blue sea, a cute RPG game with a dark secret and a very lore rich world
HYLICS, I really can't even describe this one lol. Just experience it!
Corpse party, a long and beloved series of horror games with dark themes and gruesome death scenes
Digimon Survive, even if you're not into Digimon it's a pretty good game with lots of lore to explore
Haunted PS1, and other PS1 style modern indie games
A few more rapid fire:
Necerhood
Crypt Worlds
OFF!
Thomas Was Alone
this stuff gives very castelo ra tim bum vibes
Hey bro you seen fear and hunger?
Might be a stretch for your channel due to its more recent release but is very atmospheric, graphic, moody, and mysterious rpg.
this game my favourite one
6:23 poor jyn 😢
ive been on the internet since it started and i game every day and ive never heard of lsd game whatevr
Would you be willing to do a video on Hellnight / Dark Messiah? It was a PS1 survival horror game made by ATLUS (best known for the Persona games) and is probably one of the coolest concepts for a horror game I've ever heard. I'd love to hear your take on it.
Is it related to Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic
This make me want the new Antumbra to release.
Kinda interesting how in Tong-Nou, a game all about Buddhist/Chinese alchemy themes, the only way to get a true game over is to become immortal...saying that though giving this game a western release is an utterly baffling decision
Hello Mr. Chill, I only have one critique of your wonderful channel; is it possible to turn the bass/volume down in your intro music? It's a bit much imo. Love your work though, been watching a lot of your vids recently.
You forgot Rhythm 'n Face!
I really liked Tong-Nou, shame that Chu-Teng isn't as good. Would you consider making a video on Roly-Polys and its sequel, or other lesser-known Sato games?
❤
Mario b3313 is the spiritual successor of this game.
This is a comment so you get engagement. I wish you success. please do not change your vibe with increase income. This level of production value is nice.
have a look at the game Null Gravity Labyrinth maybe you like it
How did I never hear that chu-teng was translated?
49 days is the time a “soul” spends in the intermediate period between life and death, according to Buddhism (though Buddhists to not purport the existence of a soul as such)
You should really take a look at Nemaru Mayu because no one is yet to talk about it.
Love weird games, tho
You should play The Neverhood.
Roly Poly 1 n 2 vid when?
I don't see the font you use very often on CZcams these days
where did you find a copy?
i thought it was a good analogy
Swag
Ena precursor
Never heard of LSD dream emulator. But these look like weird crap my 11 year old plays. Guess I'm just old and outdated.🤷🏻♂️
Bro your channel is fantastic but i wen'ver play the games you analyze because i shit my pants to horror games
A game is not about realism but instead about the aesthetics❤
wait how are they lost tho?
Maybe I should change the title to “forgotten” edit: there we go
They aren't lost if you're playing them in English are they?
Good point. Didn’t really think the title through. “Forgotten” works better
Blep

Why 4chan? I'm not looking forward to a fan-translation laden with the "f" word.
