VN Others Completed Ayakashibito [Propeller]

[7767]

Overview:
In face of human technological advancement during the Meiji Restoration, the youkai of Japan were forced to make a hard decision:
1) To remain as youkai and watch over the land. 2) To return to the netherworld. 3) To give up their power and status as youkai and live amongst humans. While there were some that chose otherwise, the majority of the youkai decided it was best to become human. It was tough, but as time passed these youkai were able to blend in with the human world and live peacefully amongst them. However, blood is thicker than water. The offspring of these youkai displayed the powerful abilities of their ancestors in times of great anxiety, often manifesting in horrible and dangerous ways, and were labeled by society as monsters. Officially their condition was named "Acquired Systemic Special Heredity variety Syndrome", or "ASSHS" for short and treated as a non-contagious illness, but the common people began to refer to them as Jinyous (half-youkai) nevertheless. Of these Jinyous, most were sent to Kamizawa City: an isolated urban area walled off from the rest of Japan to keep all the Jinyous together and away from the human population. However, the ones that were deemed especially dangerous were sent to a medical facility on an uncharted island near the shores of Japan where they would be under constant surveillance. Takabe Ryouichi was one of those who were sent to said island at the age of five. This is a story about him along with the girl called Suzu, his only friend on the island, escaping to Kamizawa city to live a normal life. What they didn’t expect was that Suzu carried a secret that attracted much unwanted attention…​

hmm, anyone know if it should work with locale emulator or not?

I don't know about Locale Emulator but I know it won't work with ntleas or appLocale. Seems to be one of those annoying games that absolutely require changing system locale.

I play it via "Locale Emulator", since I didn't want to change locale I had to add registry slower way:
(one line at the time to CMD [as admin])

Is this game gender bending?

 

[Tsumirin]

Okay after downloading 2.8 GB this is pretty annoying now. No matter how I place the batch file this problem is just coming. Is the game file okay? >.>

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the game file. You need to run the "Aya.bat" file first. Read the installation instructions in the OP for more info.

I used that Aya.bat file but still the same result, even in the "Run as Admin" option or even running with locale emulator it is causing the same error. So I will I open this window in my PC to set the language, maybe the error is for the language pack or front, that I guessed, I don't even know much because I am a noob in programming, and I apologize for it too. But may you please explain how can I rid this problem out?

The error you got is not for the language pack or the font. It's a registry error. That's what the "Aya.bat" file is for. Command Prompt will open after executing the "Aya.bat" file. It will ask you if you want to overwrite values, probably more than once. Type y and press Enter every time it asks. In the end you should see this message if everything's OK:

Okay, bro as you said I did. Then what is now? or Am I doing something wrong?

There's something wrong with the symbols here:


You were probably right. It could be a Japanese locale related issue. Should be Japanese characters instead of the "symbols" circled in red in the picture. The game probably can't recognize the "symbols" in the registry and that's why the registry error is popping up for you.
Check this video and see if you've changed system locale to Japanese correctly -

, or try Locale Emulator(not sure if Locale Emulator will work with adding the registry key though).
Then you'll probably have to run the "Aya.bat" file again and overwrite the "symbols" with Japanese characters. If you can see Japanese characters instead of "symbols" when overwriting the values, then you're on the right track.

Yeah, the system locale change worked, Thank You. But there is one thing that is locale emulator won't work over cmd. First is no optional UI menu will be visible and if even running from the system and drag the aya.bat file, still the language does not support in cmd as long as the system locale is not set as Japanese.

You can find some reviews

but mostly they agree that

- It is very long, and each route is kinda unique.
- Structured weirdly, you'll not grasp some characters motivations until you finish another route, which while avoids the game from spoiling too much also forces reader to play through the whole thing and favors a replay. (Which for a game this long might never happen)
- "if you enjoy a good chuunibyou filled story, you'll enjoy this too" (with accordingly good or bad reviews with people either hating the writing or liking it depending on this ─ the complains are not on how solid the story is, but always on the execution i.e. storytelling; some said some characters are too cringe)
- FSN might still be better than this one
- H-scenes are good, but placed at the worst possible moment (sometimes randomly placed, game likely better without them)
- Despite all its flaws, those whom reviewed it ended up enjoying it.

To be honest I'll likely be skipping on this one; it's evidently a long game, and seems to require you to play through the whole of it to properly appreciate it. But if you have the time to invest and don't mind the potential cringe-ness with H-scenes placement and writing, it seems to be well regarded by those whom reviewed it.
