Kamikuishiki-mura Monogatari (Aum Soft - PC98)
from PC98DB ”Based on the Aum Shinrikyo cult responsible for the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway”
I have been tracking down information on this game off and on today. I am pretty interested in this because the leader of Aum Shinrikyo actually went to one of the schools that I taught at in Japan.
Is AUM SOFT a Aum Shinrikyo software developer? I’m gonna have to buckle down and find some Japanese articles.
I watched quite a bit of this “good ending” to the game…not like there really is much of a good ending to this story but I also found this blog post on the game which I have been slowly consuming.
I’ve read about half of the blog post. The author mainly is giving a brief history of the cult in Japan and it’s leader. I find it all very interesting because I find religion very interesting. I love finding these hidden gems of Japanese PC gaming. It is such a rich frontier for translation opportunities.
