Anyways, I'm hoping to download this, but I hope it really isn't only a 3 hour game, I'm just getting my 3ds and need to start my collection with longer games.
start my backlog
bought it yesterday, ve'been playing for about an hour a day to spread it across the weekend.
I am not disappointed, I'd even say it exceeded my expectations. its like a love letter to all fans of classic japanese monster movies. it's innocent and charming as hell.
I hope they make this a series, not necessarly about monsters but I'd like more of those "japanese summer holiday games" to come over on the eshop.

I haven't played Bugs vs. Tanks yet, but both this and The Starship Damrey are pretty awesome games, despite their brevity. The Guild 02 series IMO really shows why games like these are an important part of the scene today.
I really hope Level-5 decided to continue the Guild series, and that more developers take some chances on the more niche style of games. The eShop is the perfect venue for them.

I unlocked the SDD Junior Notebook thingy and in it are designs for
So I assumed it must be an unlockable costume, which makes sense as I thought it was strange that the game doesn't actually give you anything for completing all chapters and collecting all cards.
So I spent about three hours in the post-game getting every dialogue outcome to every single topic that is bought up..... and you don't get anything!
Doing that kinda soured me on the game slightly
Once the credits have rolled, I actually don't recommend that anybody continues.

I'm obsessed with the Guild series. I think all of the games are really cool (including Aero Porter, lol!). I love the idea of established developers/directors making low budget/niche games. Crimson Shroud is one of my favorite 3DS games now and it's one of Matsuno's finest works. Level-5 should definitely continue doing this. I think it's the coolest shit they've done/produced since their PS2 days.

No, it's not required. I believe the only button you use is A to interact with people/things and everything else is done through the touchscreen.
Thanks for your answer!

Thanks
Good to know the soundtrack exists. I'll play the waiting game and see if somebody ends up uploading the songs on YT.

Post game question:
A-Plus says we should all use the same spell, what am I supposed to do? I don't remember the original spell, I've changed mine since.
I finished the main game, and I'm in the post-game now. It's a pretty solid title. I find that it's pretty hard to describe exactly -why- the game works so well, other than the fact that it achieves what it sets out to do perfectly. As far as actual gameplay goes, the adventure part of the game isn't particularly complex, the card minigame is pretty much a matter of luck mixed with simple probability, and there really isn't that much content if you think about it and break it down. But yet, it feels like a very complete package, and everything works towards a single goal - to create a very specific atmosphere and tone for the player to experience and enjoy. No regrets at all buying it, and I'll probably replay it in future from scratch even after collecting all the cards and finishing the episodes - just to experience the journey again.
You do nothing.
The point of Saturday is to go around and say an idea to the next person who will react to it differently enough to give you a new idea. Frank is the first one, so stay away from him once you get going or it resets the whole thing. This way you complete at least two of the remaining episodes.

Interesting, thanks, I had no idea what the game was getting at.
This was a really cute game.
A lot shorter than I expected (at least the "main quest"), but it was still enjoyable.
So I missed out on a bunch of episodes, cause I triggered some events that progressed the story, that I didn't want to, can I finish all of them on
?
Also, darn that cheating S.

The GIA has posted an interview with Kaz Ayabe about the game.
This is so great. I love that this little game is producing so much interesting writing and insight, even this overlong ANALYSIS has some neat little takeaways:

Also since I am apparently the official linkdump person in this thread I just realized no one mentioned Ray's magazine here.

I think he's too polite to self-promote but it's a very lovely issue with a more in depth interview with Ayabe and you should buy it.

I cannot find the last glim for card 15 for the life of me. It's the only thing I need and I've searched every inch of every screen. Can you get it from battling
?
It seems a lot of other people are having this problem too. If someone can confirm/deny that you can get the last glim for card 15 from battles, that would be great.
Edit: Ah, just got it from battling
. Whew, 100% completion baby.

Thanks so much for linking this! I created a Japanese iTunes account just for this. xD
Obviously late to the party here, but I really loved this game! It makes me want to check out the Boku no Natsuyasumi games now.
IIRC, it saves every time something happens (you get something, you trigger a story flag, etc). You can also manually save in the menu.

I played through this today and really enjoyed it. It was a nice minimalist adventure game and I would love to see it expanded upon in the form of a sequel or something.

Just bought this. I could really use something easy going and summer-y to get through this cold winter.

Started and completed the game today (only the card side quest is left )
Really happy with the purchase, but the card battle is slow.
Worth the sales price

I still gotta play this since I got it on sale. Once i finish Tearaway this is most likely the net thing on my list... question though: does it use touch screen controls? my girlfriend's daughter scratched my bottom screen and I hate using my stylus now since it feels rough

Not actually that important
So, this game is on sale for 2,69, what's the consensus?
The art intrigues me.

Wow, the sale doesn't seem to be helping much

I picked it up! Haven't played it yet though
Bought it for 2.99 (where'd you get it for that price?). I think it's the right price. Short game, story is not great but good enough.
Just finished all episodes and noticed that the "Linked Content" becomes available then. Is that with all Guild02 games?

Finally got around to re-purchasing a 3DS and grabbing this game. It's always been on the back of my mind all these years and it didn't disappoint. Delightful in every way.
More please!
