[kiryukazumalikeadragon]

(Weekly Journal 2) Something that caught my eyes other than Yakuza Kiwami

In 2018, I came across a fascinating game called Lobotomy Corporation, the first release from Project Moon, a Korean game developer. It launched on April 9th, just after my birthday, and I couldn't help but get curious. I remember asking myself, "What even is this game?" The community reviews were mixed, highlighting the game as highly strategic but also notorious for inducing stress, which I can definitely confirm—it's as challenging as it is intriguing.

Lobotomy Corporation set the stage for Project Moon’s future titles, introducing a world rich with depth, lore, and intense gameplay mechanics. In May 2020, they followed up with Library of Ruina, another gem that greeted players with Roland, a washed-up Grade 9 fixer, who partners with Angela, the sentient android from Lobotomy Corp. The game's story grows even more intricate here, but delving into the full lore would take ages. Needless to say, Library of Ruina upped the stakes, both in gameplay and narrative complexity.

Fast forward to February 26, 2022, and Project Moon released their biggest hit yet—Limbus Company. In this game, we assume the role of Dante, a mysterious figure with a flaming clock for a head, who has the power to revive his employees, known as "Sinners." The game centers around 12 Sinners: Yi Sang, Faust, Don Quixote, Ryoshu, Meursault, Hong Lu, Heathcliff, Ishmael, Rodion, Sinclair, Outis, and Gregor.

What captivates me about Limbus Company is its clever integration of classic literary figures into the story. For example, my favorite character, Meursault, is based on the protagonist of The Stranger by Albert Camus. His strange, detached personality is beautifully captured, staying true to the existential themes of the novel. Each Sinner brings their unique traits and literary references, adding depth to the gameplay.

As Dante, our mission is to collect remnants of the so-called "Golden Bough," though its full significance remains a mystery since the story is still unfolding. With the latest chapter, Canto 7, focusing on Don Quixote, the plot continues to deepen, and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.

Project Moon has a knack for crafting intricate, challenging games that blend strategic mechanics with compelling narratives, and I’ve been hooked on their releases ever since.

Ritual of Starlight and Blessings (Heathcliff 2022 Birthday) - 1

Akira: I don’t have a mission to attend to so I’ll try to relax today…

(Oh…… now that I thought of it, it’s Heath’s birthday soon.)

Shino: I’m coming in.

Akira: Ah, Shino!

Heathcliff: Hey, don’t just open the door! Sorry about that, Master Sage. During your free day, too…

Akira: Heath’s also here… What are you two doing?

Shino: Sage. Let’s have the Ritual of Starlight and Blessings, it’s gonna be Heath’s birthday soon.

I want to give him a blessing too, since he made me really happy with the blessing he gave me on my birthday.

Heathcliff: I’m glad that you’re happy about it but……

Shino: What are you saying. You want the ritual to happen, right.

Heathcliff: That’s……

Akira: Ah, actually, I was just thinking of it, too!

Shino + Heathcliff: Eh?

Akira: The ritual… Since it’s Heath’s birthday soon, right….

Thank you for coming in here to invite me! I want Heath to receive some blessings too, so let’s do the ritual!

HYAW 2020

Because Tumblr has made some links a bit less accessible and difficult to reach, we've needed to redo some of the masterlists. We also needed to ensure that content that had come from blogs that have since deactivated or that have changed names should be reflected accurately. Unfortunately with HYAW 2020, the post soon became impossible to edit once our mentions hit the 50-mark. Which means we need to make a whole new masterlist.

Still - it's been a joy revisiting every single piece from the first ever character week 💕💕 So much love and so much creativity - it took our breaths away. We can't wait for more of this awesomeness in September!!

In the meantime, we also have the masterlist for HYAD 2022 here! Enjoy!

Ritual of Starlight and Blessings (Heathcliff 2022 Birthday) - 3

[A few days later, I came to the Blanchett Castle with Heathcliff. Fully dressed in regalia, Heathcliff faces me.] 

Heathcliff: Good luck, Master Sage.

[I put a hand on Heathcliff’s chest as he closed his eyes. I pass on the blessings the three have entrusted to me.]

Akira: (Starting with Chloe…)

“I want to thank you for our first meeting! I will always and forever be grateful for you!”

(Next is Nero.)

“I like your gentle and sensitive nature. Sometimes, you’re gentler than what you appear to be, and that might put you down….”

“Whenever that happens, I’ll make you something good to eat, may it be in the kitchen, in my room, or whenever you want.”

(This is Shino’s.)

“Heath. Thank you for everything. I wish for nothing but the very best for you.”

(And from me.)

“Thank you for your constant tender care for everyone. I wish you a happy and bountiful life with a smile.”

[After the words leave my mouth, Heathcliff quietly opens his eyes and his cheeks flush.]

Heathcliff: …Sorry. I’m a little at a loss…

I guess I became a little too happy hearing everyone’s wishes for me…

Akira: I’m really happy to hear that. We all decided to be as straightforward as possible in our wishes for you.

Shino was especially torn between reverence as a servant and his usual self as just Shino but didn’t give in to either in the end, though…

Heathcliff: Ahaha, that sounds like Shino, alright.

Ah, that sound… It's from a clock tower. How could it be moving at this hour…?

Akira: You’re right… Huh? Along with the sound of the tower….

[Familiar music, much like bells, rang from somewhere. Carried by the wind, it tingles in my ears.]

Heathcliff: …!

[Heathcliff directed his gaze from the tower and into me. He then gently took my hand.]

Heathcliff: Excuse me, Master Sage. Will you come with me?

[With his hand in mine, he leads me to his room in the castle.]

[The quiet in the room was broken by the soft whisper of the music— the same melody I heard a while ago.]

Heathcliff: I knew it…

[Heathcliff walks to his desk and opens one of the drawers. He takes out a music box with a doll in it.]

Akira: That’s… the music box you made when you were younger.

Heathcliff: I heard the song and recognized it. I didn’t know it was still working…

[The beautiful jeweled doll dances to the gentle song of the music box.]

Akira: …Maybe she also wanted to wish you a happy birthday.

Heathcliff: Huh?

Akira: It’s a special day to those who care about you too.

[Heathcliff turns to the doll with a surprised look. After a while, he starts to smile.]

Heathcliff: Another gift, but from a doll, huh…

I also got some nice words from everyone… I feel like I don’t quite deserve them but it made me very happy.

I want to become a person deserving of all the praise from the ones who believe in me…

Akira: You’re already great as you are, Heath…

I like you and I’d be happy if you liked yourself too!

Heathcliff: Thank you… Master Sage.

[Heathcliff’s face, illuminated by the glow of the moon, had an air of nobility but also a youthful smile.]

[I smiled at him and turned to the music box, listening to its gentle song.]

PARTS [one. two. three.]

Ritual of Starlight and Blessings (Heathcliff 2022 Birthday) - 2

Shino: These cookies are real yummy.

Chloe: Right! There are lots of chocolate chips in them.

Akira: This one with nuts is also delicious.

It’s time for a snack. While eating cookies in the diner, we thought of blessings to give to Heath. 

Chloe, sitting in the dining room, was talking about the first time he approached Heathcliff when he freshly arrived in the manor.

Chloe: I’m happy I’m able to give Heath some words of blessings! We’re friends now, but I was nervous when I first approached him.

Shino: Well, Heath is gorgeous and a noble. It’s not hard to imagine a person having trouble speaking to someone like him.

Chloe: Yes! But when I started talking to him a lot more boldly and frequently, he started smiling a lot more……

The more we talked, the more I wanted to get to know him. So I want to give him the warmest words!

Akira: Heath will be happy to know that you feel that way.

I think he felt the same way.

Chloe: Hehe, I hope so! Let’s think of some nice wishes, Sage!

Akira: Yes!

One more person… Who shall we get as the last person?

Nero: Oh, Sage, you guys. I baked some more cookies.

Shino: Nero, you came at the perfect moment. You should give Heath some blessings.

Nero: Huh. What are you talking about……

Akira: Heath’s birthday is coming up soon, so we’re thinking of doing the Ritual of Starlight and Blessings again.

We’re thinking of blessings to give to Heath, by the way…

Shino: And who wouldn’t wanna give blessings to Heath? It’s gonna be a ‘first come, first serve’ basis.

Nero: What’re you being so bossy for? Eh, well, if it’s okay with you then it’s okay with me.

Heath’s been taking care of me so I’m indebted to him, I guess…. What are you guys gonna say?

Shino: I haven’t finalized it yet. I have to think harder than anyone else here.

It’s a message to my liege… A message of appreciation for the day he came to this world. There aren’t enough words of gratitude to express that.

Nero: Haha, alright. Don’t think about it too much.

You’re his friend before you’re his servant. I’m sure he’d like casual words coming from you.

Shino: Friend…

Shino repeats the word, almost like he was getting used to it.

Seeing Shino, Chloe chirps cheerfully.

Chloe: Nero’s right, Heath would be so happy getting Shino-like words!

Akira: Yes, that’s right! If you’re having trouble with what you’re gonna say, just go with the first thing that comes to mind! Whether it’s with reverence or not, just speak from your heart.

Shino: …I’ll consider it.

Shino nods and reaches for the table.

As the three grabbed their cookies, they thought about the blessings they’d give.
