Probably my final Chulip videos Saturday / 03.17.07 / 01:46PM / Joe
I finished Chulip last night. The manual is NOT KIDDING when it says that you should collect everybody's name card and show them to everyone in Long Life Town. The final "boss" runs you through a 20 question multiple choice quiz with such WTF gems as:
"All of these four have a disease. Which disease's name is the longest?"
"How many cans of Funny Cola does Policeman drink in a week?"
"Who wrote the screenplay for Summer Story?"
Every wrong answer takes away 20 heart points, and your max heart level is 99. So you can see that there is not much wiggle room. I got down to 19 life on the last question and had to guess on Policeman's age. Crazy.
On to the videos. This is Zombie Mika, whom I could not find for the longest time. She's in the grassy section of the Worldly Desire Temple graveyard, but she only shows up at 2am. The manual says you have to "touch the floating spirit" to see her, but that does NOT mean the floating spirit with the scythe that wanders around the graveyard killing you. Mika is an entirely different floating spirit. I love the sound effect when she cocks her head.
After you master that bathhouse ritual, you can meet with Leo for tea. This movie just shows a typical visit; the real point of the tea party is to give Leo the right herbs so that you can finish Mika's quest.
This one takes place at night, so it's difficult to see. It's the fourth security guard doing his patrol of Funny Bone Factory. What you'll want to hear is the sound when the guard visits the port-a-potty about halfway through.
This is really cool. There are film cans hidden in the game, and once you work on kissing Goro (a failed movie director), you can ask him to play the movies at the late night theater. This is the Hideyuki Film, called "Devil."
Wow. As weirdly fun as Chulip is, I'm glad it's over. This game hates when people play it.
