Man, imagine stumbling upon this and having the tea kill you. It would probably take you a couple minutes just to process what in the hell just happened.

That's right, embrace the cute. Embrace it. You know you want to.
I always thought this was really the saddest part of the game. Imagine wishing and praying so hard that you don't die, on your graduation day no less, and you come back as a zombie. :( In a game that's normally pretty upbeat, this is decidedly less so. But at least Mika got to see Leo drink her tea blend, and she passed on happily. I still wouldn't drink Leo's tea though. Backwash tea, ugh.

Next time, the thrilling conclusion in the quest to win Anime's heart! With max health and 50 kisses under his belt, Chorps will surely succeed! He's a big shot now, can't beat that.

The world is a ghetto
I think Anime won't want to kiss someone who's recently been making out with entire towns full of people. In utter confusion and crippling shame Chorps will inevitably be forced to move into a hole in the ground. He will then only come up through the surface-world crack for his hobby of alternatingly menacing and sexually harassing any passing schoolchildren.

:siren: UPDATE TIME! :siren:



It's the finale! Today, it's time for Chorps to finally write a good love letter to Anime. However, things are not quite as simple as they might seem, and Chorps finds himself in search of another mailbox, one that will lead directly to Anime's heart. It's time to find out what love means to young Chorps, and what he's willing to do in order to find his happiness...

Thanks for watching! This was a tough LP to put together but I've had a lot of fun sharing this unique and charming game. There's a lot to be found in Chulip, and inevitably I couldn't show everything off, but I think I got the most important pieces, especially all of the in-game movies. There will be one more bonus episode coming next week, but otherwise our time with Chulip has come to a close.

The son that is mentioned, is in a different school in another town. He is always on her mind. I think she mentions this earlier in the game. There is more to it, but Chorps might cover it.

supposedly it frees you from anxiety and nihilism
The cat does 20 points of damage, so that's 5 strikes if you got all the kisses. So you don't have to get all 50 kisses, it's just a very good idea to when you get to the endgame

The manual does give you the answers for some of the quiz questions, but they're sneaky about them. There's bits of text in comic sans that are all over the book that look like pointless fun facts about characters and things, you'd think at first they don't matter and then they do. I just did my homework by using the business cards on villagers and being observant enough, and I got an 18/20 without any cheating :c00lbert: sooo basically I aced it :c00lbert: no biggie :c00lbert: :c00lbert: :c00lbert:

Thanks for playing this Chorps. This LP was the push to try Chulip myself and I'm really happy I did, its sense of humor and attention to detail is very much my poo poo. It's got me interested in many of the other games in the Love-de-Lic family, especially the long ongoing translation project for Moon Remix RPG Adventure, the first game Yoshiro Kimura was a designer/writer on and one that shares Chulip's ideas on game design. Hoping that one happens before I'm dead because it's one of like, four video game things I'm actually excited for these days

This game was definitely made with the adventure game mindset though it does differ in that it didn't have the complete sadism that old adventure games, specifically during the Zork text-based era, were notorious for where you could achieve an unwinnable state within the first ten minutes of the game that you would not know was such until several hours in, sometimes even on the penultimate screen.

A particularly infamous example is the Xenomorph from Space Quest 2 that if you let kiss you will result in you dying from a Chestburster on the very last screen before the ending.

Thanks for LPing this.

Moon logic puzzles are one thing, but being anti-kiss is an archaic game design decision and I'm glad chulip broke new ground for games where it mattered.

Always great to see Chulip done. I think that if anyone else decides to LP this in the future, we could do with more getting to know the townsfolk and such, showing them items and hearing their stories. Same thing with showing off some of the more bullshit parts of the game with how much something can damage you and just how easy it is to die and lose progress. Perfect runs are nice, but I think this game loses a lot when you do it too well and know what to do, so you rush straight for the goal and miss the solution. Some sidequests could also be spread into more parts so the entire story isn't spelled out in one video, though that means co-commentators might forget all about it and it wouldn't have the effect you want.

A lot of COMPLAINTS, but no dissin' here, Chorps. It was solid Chulipping.

He didn't show off a lot of things because most of them have schedules of their own. It is like Bully, but with even less time to find everything. He did shoot himself in the foot without using Your Cards. I am pretty sure someone like Batayan or Mrs. Plum would tell him about the monkey quest.

Chimera-gui
Mar 20, 2014
Yeah, you were intended to give the folks in LLT a Your Card to get each of their cards which you would then show to each person to learn about the owner of the card.

Worth noting that showing cards to Michelle only works after you've kissed her as she's still in her cult prior to this which forbids her from complaining to anyone but her pot.

Certain characters also very specific responses:
  • Mrs. Plum for example will tell you people's ages while showing her card to others will result in them telling you how old they believe she is.
  • The aforementioned Michelle will give her opinion on other characters.
  • Dr. Dandy will tell you the other characters' diseases.
  • And showing people Julie's card, which is actually just a photo of her, will result in them giving their opinion of her grilled chicken.

In the final bonus episode, we take a look back on all of our kisses through the photo albums in our house! We get to see a little bit of each character's life after the kiss and how it's changed, a nice closer to this adventure.

Again, thanks to everyone for watching and commenting while we did the LP, and thank you for your patience during that break in the middle. I've got my next project in the works already, and that should be up and running within the next couple weeks. See you guys then and remember, love your neighbors.

This might be what the song says when you look at the album.

a warming temperature to cultivate the blessed avocados.
North pole, south pole bears;
Our town is a sorrowful underground waterway.

Here are some things you probably didn't get to see in the LP:
In the farmland at night, you might meet Johnny the-nightwalking-invisible-man, who attacks you if you talk to him. Talk to him enough times and about 40 damage later, he leads you to his treasure. 3000z

Returning the stolen hairpin to the cop heals you a bit.

While streaking, the cop sends you in the police box to put on your clothes while he pulls a gun on you.

The police box is where you can get an arranged inventory of stuff you tossed out.

You can use the telephone booth to make calls with certain people.

Talking to the doctor has him give you a chop for some damage. Other people just call you names.

Your dad scolds you for sleeping naked.

The monkey shows up in a loading screen with the fortune-teller and attacks you if you talk to him outside his suit.

Getting the alien message wrong spawns Atari versions of space invaders who shoot lasers at you.

Sit on the park bench by midnight and a pop-eyed sailor gives you a surprise massage service that heals you a bit, after showing you prone, and visibly shaking.

If you idle long enough to sit on the ground, you can make Chorps sing by pressing each of the buttons that don't make him move.

If you hide in the factory next to the outhouse, a guard takes a loud crap and you can sell his golden poopie for a lot of money. Hurts as much as a huge poopie.

You get a second save point in the factory apartment if you are President.

You can beat Charcoal three times for a prize. You don't have that fancy UI when you fight him.

A Panda bear seems to appear during 4-7 AM when you examine forest spots and appears once per sleep cycle. He heals you a bit.

There are multiple game over screens where each of the teachers do something horrible to you.
