xyzzysqrlI decided to try the demo of this Vita game on a lark, and it's one of the most confusing and most Japanese things I've played in the last few years. I don't mean that as an insult, I mean... check out that trailer that is Japanese as all hell.
I just wanted it on record that I tried this and it confused me. I made the head of a Clan. They were killed because they failed to prevent demons from invading Kyoto. That was the INTRO MOVIE. Then a minor God appeared and brought us back to life, but oh no the Squirrel clan is CURSED to never live more than two years and be unable to breed with anyone except Gods. As a retainer, the Gods gave me a big-eared weasel girl who thinks she's the wisest weasel in all creation and who acts as your day-planner and tutorial system. I hate to say it, but the twelve year old weasel lady knows more than me about how to play this game.
The game then became a dungeon crawler for a while, while throwing stats at me left and right and basically going "YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THIS THOUGH JUST SAYIN'." After about three months in-game of dungeon crawling, it seemed to imply I should go home, so I did. Then it let me know other features were unlocked, including the menu where I could select who should have kids with the Gods. You need a lot of Devotion to have kids with Gods, and you get Devotion by beating the shit out of demons, so I think you have to dungeon-crawl to unlock good genes?
Anyway I flipped through my options? One of them was the kid from Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, there were a couple Naruto characters in there, and then I found a hunky wolf dude. Except he cost like 15,000 devotion of which I had a couple hundred, so NO WOLF SEXYTIME FOR ME. I went back to the menu and skimmed along and found a cute bunny boy who only cost 10 devotion, so I rented him for budget reproduction. Then a blue-haired lady came out with a pair of fans and kind of... airport-flashlight-waved my clan member and bunny-boy together and they SHOT BEAMS OF LIGHT AT THE HEAVENS which turned into DNA helixes.
The internet tells me this means my future children of the clan may inherit rabbit ears. Other possible divine inheritances are third-eyes, kitsune tails, halos, and so on.
At this point I was now three hours past bed and more baffled than ever, so I opened Livejournal, wrote this, and went the hell to sleep.
I will PROBABLY NOT be revisiting this game any time soon, but if I can find a guide to tell me what the fuck I'm doing, I may attempt to document a playthrough one day. One far-off distant day.
IN CONCLUSION: Oreshika is a game where I navigated a demon-infested dungeon and a complex menu system to accomplish my goal of successfully getting impregnated by a rabbit boy.
10/10 Demo Experience of the Century.
