Fumeng Ruowei
What’re you laughing for?! What for?!

Well this is a serious interview, okay?

I can’t stop! I can’t, really can’t.

Fumeng Ruowei
Ugh, return!

Official Trailer – Illusionary Dream (Full)

Listen here

Tao Ying:
Divine maiden… Divine maiden, I have long awaited for your arrival.

Malicious Spirits:
Divine maiden… Divine maiden… Divine maiden!

Tao Ying:
The divine maiden has come. Commence the ceremony!


Imperial Princess Duanyang
Ah! Mother, I had the dream again! I-I…!

Imperial Concubine Zhao
Call upon the noble Mu Clan of Yao hunters for their assistance!


Mu Yao
Imperial Concubine Zhao has employed the Mu Clan’s jade tablet.

Liu Fuyi
Ever since Princess Duanyang visited Xingshan Temple on her eighteenth birthday, her sleep seem to have been plagued with nightmares.

Mu Sheng
Doesn’t the palace have their own imperial astronomer? Why would they need to ask for us Yao hunters?

Ling Miaomiao
Sister Mu, Brother Liu, Mu Sheng! I want to go to Chang’an with you!


Ling Miaomiao
Five baked flatbreads please.

Mu Sheng
Miss Ling, didn’t you just finish off half a chicken?

Ling Miaomiao
Oh right…

Mu Sheng
We had you go out to collect information and all you bring back this rubbish gossip. I really wonder what you’re even here for.

Ling Miaomiao
Don’t you think that Xingshan Temple is really weird? What monastery would choose to build one in a place like that!

Mu Sheng
You want me to go with you. Oh? Are you afraid of getting lost, Miss Ling?


Ling Miaomiao
Mu Sheng… Mu Sheng? Where did you go?! Huh?

Malicious Spirits:
Divine maiden… Divine maiden… Divine maiden! Divine maideeeen!

Tao Ying:
Divine maiden, come with me now!

Ling Miaomiao:
The sandstorm is so strong… Where are we?!

Mu Sheng:
This…is the true Xingshan Temple.

Ling Miaomiao:
Mu Sheng! You’re…not going to abandon me are you?

Mu Sheng:
Another peep out of you and I’ll do just that.


Lu Jiu:
They said when Xingshan Temple was completed ten years ago, all the monks inside died in one night and dyed the skies red…for three days and three nights.

Mu Sheng:
I can’t detect any yao energy, so perhaps we really aren’t up against yao. Yet they also have the same mystifying abilities.

Ling Miaomiao:
You mean…ghosts?!


Bai Jing & Mu Huaijiang:
Overturn the Heavens, hurl into the Earth. Extinguish all wisps, erase all traces…

Mu Sheng
Overturn the Heavens, hurl into the Earth. Extinguish all wisps, erase all traces… This is our Mu Clan’s sealing talisman!

Mu Huaijiang:
Mu Sheng! You must protect your sister with your life. Don’t let even a scratch touch her, do you understand?!

Bai Yirong:
The Mu Clan didn’t keep you alive for nothing!

Bai Jing:
Perhaps bringing you back was a mistake in the first place…

Ling Miaomiao:
Are they definitely righteous just because they’re a noble clan of Yao hunters? The Mu Clan has always given you hope and an illusion, just like the mirage a person on the verge of death sees. The Bodhisattva in remotest place may seem benevolent, but even they will never be able to enlighten you!

Ling Miaomiao:
Wait… Stop! Mu Sheng, help! Wait, let me go. Let me go! Mu Sheng!!

Malicious Spirits:
Diving maiden! Divine maiden! Divine maiden!

Mu Sheng:
Rid us of the evil and vicious, extinguish all traces of the supernatural!

Narration:
Based on the novel by Baiyu Zhai Diaogong on JJWXC, and co-produced by MissEvan and Sancao Culture.

Yandere Town: Yandere Types

Are you ready to discover the ways his love can be twisted?! Here’s the original chart again as reference. It is also posted on the game’s Twitter account.

The translated mindmap serves as a quick reference guide to what kind of yandere a character may be. The more detailed explanation is in the tables further down. The yandere is assumed to be male and the love interest female.

There’s something off about him…

Yandere Town

Yandere Town (ヤンデレタウン) is a free, adult otome game by SkyKani (空カニ) currently in development, where the player can date 13 different yandere men who all have their own twisted version of love. I can’t remember the last time I played something with that many love interests in one game. I think the closest we probably ever got from the big publishers was HaruToki? And that’s including the side characters. Asgard/Honeybee games don’t count. Those were split into several games.

The game’s been under development since March 2019 (but apparently the idea is from 2014), so why the heck am I writing a post about it now in 2022? Because I need a place to organise all the information that’s been released since then and I need a place to scream about the puns in the names and the bloody detailed as hell yandere types!!

The game is rated R-18 and contains sensitive content so proceed at your own risk. If I listed all the trigger warnings that apparently need to be mentioned these days we’d be here all day so stay with me if you love your yanderes and are okay with anything. And I mean anything. Please click that [X] button on your browser if you are easily offended.

One last thing. Because the game is still a WIP and an original work, the creator has expressed that they strongly recommend fanworks of the game not to be created as some content may be similar to what is currently under development. While thoughts on the available content are welcome, please do not flame. In regards to an English translation, do not patch the game and redistribute when it is released. The creator has explicitly expressed on their personal Twitter account that they would rather have it done under their supervision. I hope everyone can respect the creator’s requests.

Capisce? Great.
