This isn't mentioned in the game as far as I can tell - Try reading the Tong-Nou book, searching the palace of dreaming or talking to characters for hints - The glasses (found in the middle flame on the path to the land of time) make the computer puzzles much easier and can translate some signs around the world If anyone knows if the wind chime, bottle gourd or morning glory have any use other than trading please e-mail me. Thanks to Phil Salvador of The Obscuritory for the "Tou-Gyou" solution. -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- -2.0- Characters ---------------- -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- ([*] Indicates that the character's stage is linear) Parts needed to select the character are displayed as eye/nose/mouth 2.1 Tou Left/Left/Left Resides in the Land of Life (Ming-ken). Guardian of the Tree of Life. Toh's mission is to register new life. In order to register life, he must travel to Shi-chieng (Land of Time). Toh's fetish is mechanical apparatus. His fingers are long and thin. He also wears accurate eye glasses. However, Toh cannot bear his very own physique. An aero dynamic body (a hole right in the middle of the body) with a long and winding neck are the subjects of his inferiority complex. 2.2 Jin [*] Left/Left/Right Resides in the Land of Desire (Yui-wang). Born in Yui-wang (Land of Desire), with a mission to serve as a faithful subordinate of King-gyou (King of Yui-wang). Jin likes gold before anything. Therefore, admires King-gyou for his body of gold. Wishes he were born of gold. Jin detests water, for it will corrode his bronze body. 2.3 Sha Left/Right/Left Resides in the Land of Desire (Yui-wang). Under orders of King-gyou (King of Yui-wang), Sha's mission is to collect all four musical instruments of the Tong-Nou World. Sha is the chosen one. Only he can play the instruments. Toh loves music and can play any instrument. Winds up in his music room located with Yui-wand (Land of Desire). He fears a world without music. Next to that, he cannot approve of tone-deaf King-gyou's singing. 2.4 Gyou [*] Left/Right/Right Resides in the Land of Time (Shi-chieng). Born in Shi-chieng (Land of Time) to perform the Ritual of Time. His mission is to feed flames to the Candles of Time. Being able to fly freely, Gyou enjoys hazardous aviation tricks like nose diving. The fact that he must accomplish his assigned task is annoying. He would rather give it up and to on another freestyle flight. 2.5 Zen [*] Right/Left/Left Resides in the Land of Dreaming (Mon-chien). Guard of the Ice Wall of Mon-chien (Land of Dreaming). Born with the words of duty, "notify all change." Born within and prisoner of the ice wall, gazing at the river flow and intersecting Magatamas are his only pastimes. To be confined within ice is heartbreaking. Hopes to literally "break the ice" someday upon completion of his mission. 2.6 Byou Right/Left/Right Resides in the Land of Dreaming (Mon-chien). Under the orders of Sui-syou (King of Non-chien), Byou's mission is to head towards Ming-ken (Land of Life). There he must collect the Eyeball of Dreaming. Born with a wrench. Since his body is decorated with leaves, Byou loves to camouflage in the shade of trees. However, he receives frequent bullying from his fellow comrades because no other creature in the Land of Dreaming possesses leaves. 2.7 Retsu [*] Right/Right/Left Resides in the Land of Life (Ming-ken). Born as a vermin, dwells around Mingke-shu (Tree of Life) of Ming-ken (Land of Life). Born with words of duty, "help the troubled." Retsu prefers to keep hidden in shrubs and bushes. Likes to gnaw at grass and trees. Birds that peck at insects and Moku-gyou (King of Ming-ken who dislikes vermin) are constant threats to Retsu. 2.8 Kai Right/Right/Right Resides in the Land of Time (Shi-chieng). Guard of Shi-chieng (Land of Time) who protects the Candle of Life. His mission is to go and draw the Water of Dreams, which will be used to extinguish one particular candle. Dressing up in colorful flames turns him on. Burning red is his favorite color. Although his body is constantly up in flames, this doesn't necessarily mean he's a passionate one. He dislikes water that opposes fire. He fears that they will put out the flames of his body. Reluctantly heads for Mon-chien (Land of Dreaming) to fulfill his mission. 2.9 Rin One morning, Rin discovers the absence of his soul. It appeared to be the act of Tong-Nou, the island which lies far to the east. Once a year Tong Nou, the living island, devours the soul of humans. Once a soul has been taken, he or she will be left to weaken and eventually die in emptiness. Rin decides to head for Tong-Nou to regain the missing soul. Before the journey, Rin stops to visit Yashiro. On the way, Rin encounters a white snake and receives an Amulet and a Furoshiki. Yashiro had given him a temporary soul. This made him temporarily able for forty-nine days. Rin set out to sail towards Tong-Nou, the island far to the east. -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- -3.0- Walkthrough ----------------- -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- Rin --- After the intro, start by clicking the left cheek of Tong-Nou and entering the room.

Eyeball Stone = Wind Chime or Morning Glory Bottle Gourd = Koma Eyeball Stone + Koma = Hitogata Eyeball Stone + Chopsticks = Amulet Eyeball Stone + Morning Glory = Peach Hitogata = Tong-Nou Book Amulet = Tong-Nou Book Peach = Tong-Nou Book -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- -6.0- Helix Palace ------------------ -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- The Helix Palace is a semi-optional area entered by giving a Golden Flower to the king of desire. To complete game you only need to get the magatama on the roof but each room has some degree of interaction which ultimately leads nowhere. Room Of Greed ------------- This room contains various treasures that can be interacted with to give messages about the king of desire and the rest of the palace. Clicking one of the goblets gives the key to the chest. The left drawer contains the hammer, the middle contains the gold ingot and the right contains an eyeball stone.

Click the legs too many times and you will rape them, killing you with an STD unless you have a sheep intestine in your inventory. The Room Of ??? --------------- I can't actually find the name of this room anyware since there is nothing living to say it. You can smash the pillars if you have the hammer, which kills you unless you have the hitogata. Roof ---- You can find Yo-a-mong on the roof and gamble your gold ingot for a chance to win an eyeball stone but this is pretty much pointless. This is also the location of the metal magatama. -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- -7.0- Version History --------------------- -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- 1.0 Complete submission 6/2012 1.01 Added missing info 1.02 Added subreddit info 10/2015 -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- -8.0- Contact --------------- -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- To discuss this or any other of Osamu Sato's games visit: https://www.reddit.com/r/OsamuSato/ or message me on Reddit, username FuadRamses -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- -9.0- Copyright --------------- -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>-<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.
