werewolf 5
Your weekly Minoto point and click treat is here: werewolf 5.
Werewolf was not found under the rock, and the wolf of a small child who was perplexed was lying on the inside. Child's wolf smelt wolf's smell. The wolf barked happily. The girl helped by werewolf comes near to a side. Afterwards, two wolves and girls seem to have lived together happily.
Several years ago, there was a bad harvest harvest season and there was no food. The villagers were starving. They used some bait to try and catch the werewolves. The mother wolf went down to the village to get her child some food.
She found some food for the little wolf. She kept going like this, stealing the villagers' food for her child.
The villagers began to notice because their food kept disappearing. The mother wolf was captured. After a while, they began hunting for wolves.
The child wolf went down to the village because he was worried by his mother's disappearence.
The villagers found the child, who had been weakened by hunger. The villagers were shocked by its appearence. They thought it would continue to eat their food, so they sought to kill the little wolf. But then it got trapped underneath some rocks. A little girl wanted the adults to help the little wolf.
Who bothered reading the story? It's Minoto. None of this stuff makes a lick of sense.
I hate to be critical of a free site that I check religiously and of those that pour their heart and soul into making games BUT are Minoto games getting worse/losing their appeal or is it just me?
This is my interpretation of the story: (werewolf) Werewolf boy was in his human state when he met a little girl and befriended her. The little girl was injured while they were playing together. The werewolf boy wasn't strong enough to help her while in the human state. Thanks to us, he turned back into a wolf and helped.
(werewolf2) The werewolf boy brought the girl back to the village. The villages thought he was the one that injurer her. So he had to run away.
(werewolf3) Villagers started hunting the werewolf boy. But they fell in a trap instead (was that our fault or the werewolf boy's?) They thought the werewolf boy would kill them while they're unconscious, but they were saved instead. They start to wonder their assumption that the werewolf boy injured the girl and needs to be hunted down is appropriate.
(werewolf4) There was a flood and the villagers were in trouble. The werewolf boy helped the villagers, but was injured and stuck under rocks in the process.
(werewolf5) The whole village helped rescue the werewolf boy from under the rocks. Don't know who the older wolf is.
you know.... i thought i understood this "lesson" or saying at the end of the Minoto game... then i was brought brack to reality and forgot what it meant OH I REMEMBER!!1 It was oh crap i forgot it! Mnoto is confusing!!!
I'm with Fitz: Didn't enjoy this one too much. Minoto usually makes "Minoto sense" and that didn't happen with this one. Second, there was no thinking whatsoever involved. Everything was too straightforward to solve. And worst of all - still NO PANDA!! I saw a paring knife and no panda to give it to - what gives??
Ummm... SO, the boy turned into a werewolf to help the girl and then got stuck under some rocks. At the end he came out of under the rocks as a wolf... because he wanted to be friends with the girl...

ReplyDeleteYay...first time first!
Wow, great minoto this week. I loved it. It was ne of the few times I finished without a walkthrough! Thanks Bart!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone understand the story at the beginning??
ReplyDeleteYou're looking for sense in a Minoto game??!!.. LOL..
ReplyDeleteNope! Didn't understand the story at the beginning! But a lovely story overall. Easy peasy this week :)
ReplyDeleteMinoto's stories make absolutely no sense. Probably because there's a bit of trouble with chinese/japanese to english translation.
ReplyDeletelol i came to the comments just to see if anyone understood the beginning story.... apparently not :3
ReplyDeleteEnglish is not Minoto's first language.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is his second language, either.
Several years ago, there was a bad harvest harvest season and there was no food.
ReplyDeleteThe villagers were starving.
They used some bait to try and catch the werewolves. The mother wolf went down to the village to get her child some food.
She found some food for the little wolf. She kept going like this, stealing the villagers' food for her child.
The villagers began to notice because their food kept disappearing. The mother wolf was captured. After a while, they began hunting for wolves.

Well, there you go.
still confused where did the werewolf go? werewolf 6? Or is this it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Nemur :)

I love Minoto personally.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my interpretation of the story:
ReplyDelete(werewolf)
Werewolf boy was in his human state when he met a little girl and befriended her.
The little girl was injured while they were playing together.
The werewolf boy wasn't strong enough to help her while in the human state. Thanks to us, he turned back into a wolf and helped.
(werewolf2)
The werewolf boy brought the girl back to the village. The villages thought he was the one that injurer her. So he had to run away.
(werewolf3)
Villagers started hunting the werewolf boy. But they fell in a trap instead (was that our fault or the werewolf boy's?) They thought the werewolf boy would kill them while they're unconscious, but they were saved instead. They start to wonder their assumption that the werewolf boy injured the girl and needs to be hunted down is appropriate.
(werewolf4)
There was a flood and the villagers were in trouble. The werewolf boy helped the villagers, but was injured and stuck under rocks in the process.
(werewolf5)
The whole village helped rescue the werewolf boy from under the rocks. Don't know who the older wolf is.

ReplyDeleteUmmm...
ReplyDeleteSO, the boy turned into a werewolf to help the girl and then got stuck under some rocks. At the end he came out of under the rocks as a wolf... because he wanted to be friends with the girl...
I see...
Oh, no I don't.
Makes perfect Minoto sense.
ReplyDelete@fitz & carly - agreed. i've played at least 20 of these and this one just wasn't fun
ReplyDeleteThose are wolves, not the real werewolf! duh people!
ReplyDeleteI liked this one.
ReplyDeleteI mean, the dancing arrow? The squid wearing the baseball cap. "Jar: There was a squid"? Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI think Minoto to improve his translation you need.
