What this is all about?...two words: Tokyo Dark.

What is Toykyo Dark? It is a game. What kind of game? Well...it is made by little indie studio called Cherrymochi and it is from Japan. Answer to the damn question!!! ...Okey, okey...sry. D:
The game is a 2D point & click adventure game. A twisting detective story featuring a multitude of choices, non-linear puzzle-solving, and a deep branching narrative exploring the darker underbelly of Tokyo.

Why this silly poll then? Taking pills as the main character is one of the many features of Tokyo Dark. To be more specific about this thing, read below what the game developers have to say about it(or just check out it from here):

"Having lower sanity will affect your conversation choices, the way people react to you and you'll see things, whether they are hallucinations or not are for you to decide.

To manage her sanity Detective Itō will have to self-medicate by taking pills, but that comes at a cost. Pills raise her SANITY attribute but lower INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS. She no longer sees the things and can walk through an otherwise terrifying room with a smile on her face. But whilst perfectly sane she has also dulled her senses and will not notice as many clues and interactive objects around her. The relationship between these attributes will lead to some interesting choices, how much of Itō's mental health are you willing to risk to solve the case?"

So, what shall we do? Answer to the poll. ;)
"The pills make the terrifying visions go away and keep you sane, but they also dull your mind and slow your thoughts, do you take the medication?"

The game is on KICKSTARTER atm and it have abit above 3 days left on the campagn, back the project and do the things way you want to!

Here is little feature list for the ones who can't think straight:

  • Branching story with 10 different endings
  • 4 to 6 hours per path
  • Multiple solutions to each puzzle
  • Player decisions influence social stats, which affect your interactions with others
  • Your choices have consequences to both your sanity and the people around you. How far will you go to solve the case?
  • A dark, twisting story that blurs the line between reality and fantasy
  • A fusion of Western Point & click adventure games and Japanese visual novels
  • Explore real world environments with a dark horror twist

And here is little invite only giveaway, so you won't get too insane after reading this:

Hmm... i think he isn't involved in this one. Square Enix is mainly giving some mental and advertising support etc from backgorunds, i think. :P

SE seems to be providing business counseling and industry connections, they seem to have no role in the actual product or company.

All I can think of is Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, and the contrast between doing a run with most of the races- and doing a runthrough with a Malkavian.

Insanity is too darn fun to pass up.

Er, but don't say I said that when the nice young men in clean white coats come to take you away [ho ho he he ha ha], okay?
