Recent findings indicate that at current rates of growth, Touhou related doujin circles could within several years cause Comiket to be rebranded Touhouket, and force the event to move to an even larger venue than the Big Sight; that is, if Reitaisai doesn’t overshadow or absorb the event entirely.

Fans of the inscrutably complex web of adaptations of the 07th Expansion visual novels (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) will be interested to hear that the TV anime adaptation of うみねこのなく頃に / Umineko no Naku Koro ni, a murder mystery doujin visual novel along similar lines to their other titles, has been formally announced.

This is a bash the blocks style game where the objective is to knock poor Hatsune Miku’s clothes off, using a leak to bat the ball, naturally enough. It even has a Miku soundtrack, though perhaps more effort could have been invested in the CG.
It’s a 10mb download, just unzip and run. “Official” RapidShare type download here, or alternatively download from this server here. Game site is here, reaching me via here.
Hatsune Miku seems to be the target of increasing gaming attention lately… Not long before we see her get a full commercial game to herself, perhaps?
I recently revisited this charming game after the latest patch. For those that are not familiar with RECETTEAR〜アイテム屋さんのはじめ方〜 (Recettear: How to start an Item Shop), it is a fantasy business RPG, produced and published by dojinsoft outfit EasyGameStation. It is really very good – read on for my thoughts and plenty of screenshots.
