Overview

Gameplay

Plot
| Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow. |
|---|
Highlight to view at your own risk. The "dream world" seems to consist of Takashi's memories/thoughts, many of which involve soldiers, tanks or now-old-fashioned things.
The most vital parts of the plot occur in the epilogue to the game. After collecting all effects, [ Takashi can now attempt to leave his room, only for a soldier to enter and shoot him. The game then cuts to many years in the future, in an abandoned version of Takashi's room. The player now gains control of a younger Funetsuki, the protagonist of Xom's other fangame, Tec. Interacting with the projector ends the game.]
