However, though this game must have appeared foreign and bizarrely unique to Western audiences, in Japan it represents a venerable tradition of strange, yet artistically inspired adventure games with very unusual RPG elements, all going back to the seminal game Moon. ![]() The above paragraph can only give you a shadow of an idea of the incorporated weirdness that is Chulip. Diving into a trash can, you console yourself with a potato, then open the door to your house, greet your father, and go to the toilet to save your game and end your day in Chulip. You decide to head home for now, and on the way try to kiss a girl you are in love with, but get slapped and lose five hit points. You barely escape a crazy purple dragon who has occupied a children's playground with a map of Japanese railway encrypted in the sand. But you have no time, because you need to assemble four dictionaries in order to kiss an alien. You discover that a turtle lives underground, dreaming of naked people. You decide to take a back alley and put your ear to the sewer manhole. Suddenly a teacher who looks like a midget imbued into a telegraph pole runs towards you, shouting gibberish.

Money is earned by kissing Underground residents (who only show up at certain times of the day), or by selling items found in the garbage. Hearts can also be regained by sleeping, eating, and certain other tasks. When all his hearts are gone, the player must restart or restore a saved game. ![]() The more people the hero ends up kissing, the higher his heart meter goes, which allows the player to progress through the story and attempt more challenging tasks.Īpproaching angry townspeople, doing something they don't like, or injuring himself through various means will take away the protagonist's hearts. Kissing people is not as easy as it may seem actions required to allow a person to be kissed range from waiting for the right moment to more difficult and branching puzzles like helping someone find a job. The player can freely explore the town, trying to figure out what to do next and how to do it. The young man's mission is to improve his reputation among the many inhabitants of the town until they allow him to kiss them, and impress the girl of his dreams with his acts of kindness.Ĭhulip is primarily a puzzle-solving adventure with a few role-playing elements. ![]() It is here that he meets the girl of his dreams - literally. A young man and his father are the newest residents of Long Life Town, a strange little town with even stranger characters.
