Tomitake Princess: Everyone Needs a Bit of Love~

From the same vat where the Chinese Saber figurine came from, I introduce to you…Tomitake Princess, a doujin game for PC, created by Yakiniku Banzai. Are you ready for the awesomeness to be released? Have you ever wanted to raise your OWN Crappy Photographer Tomitake? Here’s your chance. Image and information courtesy of Tomitake Princess @ Yakiniku Banzai. Download the game for free! (And don’t forget the patch)

I assume that the reader of this post has, at least, a vague recollection of the recent anime Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and its killer loli cast. Mr. Tomitake Jiro isn’t one of the killer lolis, but he is memorable in that he gets killed in every single arc of the story/universe, by clawing out his own throat due to mysterious drugs or Oyashiro-sama, depending on who or what you believe is the mastermind of the Higurashi mysteries.

Tomitake Princess looks on the brighter side of things. No killer lolis in the game; just your lovable, Speedo-clad, Crappy Photographer Tomitake. Yakiniku Banzai gives the unlucky guy the love that he deserves from his senseless deaths, and perhaps, a happy ending to the tragedy of Hinamizawa.

Story
What would you do if there were suddenly twelve Tomitakes?
You’re the “Big Brother” to all of those Tomitakes, and you’ve been living separately.
You only have three days to spend with your beloved lil’ Tomitake, and at the end of the last day, will your Tomitake be waiting for you underneath the Oyashiro-sama Tree?

Characters
You
You’re Tomitake’s Big Bro. He’s devoted to you, as you should be to him. Your interactions with Tomitake with either raise or lower his ‘favorable impression’ stats, AKA ‘how much he likes you’.

Tomitake

	At the beginning of the game, you can choose your Tomitake from twelve different ones. The one who you choose will start with higher ‘favorable impression’ stats than the others. Each Tomitake has his own distinct personality, so choose wisely!
	1. Normal Tomitake 2. Clumsy Tomitake 3. Sporty Tomitake 4. Stylish Tomitake 5. Childish Tomitake 6. Sickly Tomitake	7. Good-at-Cooking Tomitake 8. Technophilic Tomitake 9. Mysterious Tomitake 10. Japanese-y Tomitake 11. Cheki Tomitake 12. Crybaby Tomitake
	13. Enigma Tomitake If you manage to get all twelve Tomitakes to love you to a certain extent, then the 13th Tomitake will appear…

Other ways to change Tomitake’s feelings for you include mini-games.

And of course, what love-love raising game is complete without the confession scene at the promised place?

If you’re worried that your three days’ journey with Tomitake might be bland, fear not: the game comes with plenty of background music tracks, a theme song, and voice tracks for Tomitake. The name of Tomitake’s voice actor is unannounced due to the obstinate veto of the game’s artists.

…And I don’t blame the poor guy a single bit.

I would work on a translation patch for Tomitake Princess if someone knows how to handle the actual programming/scripting part of the game. I’m only good for translating and minor commentary. XDDD

And so, I conclude with a final plug for Tomitake Princess. If you ever wanted to have Tomitake’s love, this is indeed, your one and only chance. C’mon, you’ve got nothing to lose.

Right?
