I guess there was supposed to be a very Japanese joke about the human bell reveal that made Chorps frown like that.

It's pretty messed up that Bell screamed "Father!" right after you kissed her.

I can't believe that the game gave you a full super meter and you didn't use any of it. Way to miss out on the special kiss finisher.

I'm gonna out myself as a nerd and say that I always thought to myself that Chulip takes place inside the Shin Megami Tensei universe and that Poor Boy grows up to be Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th.



The reason you never learn his backstory in his games is because he faked his death to escape the shame of the events of this game

:siren: SUPER UPDATE TIME! :siren:



Today, we caused a lot of trouble in order to get Bell's kiss, and today we're going to try and make amends! Goro has been sent to the graveyard for his crimes, and Julie's been devastated by the news that she may never see her husband again. With a sense of justice and a little bit of civil disobedience, it's up to young Chorps to do the time in order to save Goro and help to fix a strained marriage!

I like how you get a crime stamp for telling Mr. Policeman (nominative determinism in action!) that you stole something, rather than getting caught stealing.

Also that breaking (someone else) out of the graveyard jail and selling smokes to a child aren't crimes.

I forgot if this was brought up before but it's easy to get the train by going to WDT and FBF but only to learn what you need to do, going to SCF and digging though the junkyard at the far corner passed 20 year old guy's hole, returning to LLT and kissing the conductor to unlock the pass, and finally selling the junk to Cheapot to get enough money for the pass as well as other supplies.

Ideally you want to get it early so it'll pay for itself but you still have a lot to do, mainly in SCF.

Today, it's time to recover the last item in the Love Letter Set, the fountain pen! For this task, Young Chorps must prove that he believes in UFOs, and after seeing something crash land into Scarecrow Field, he'll be led on a path of self-discovery and understanding.
We're almost at the end, folks!

The alien is required for the main plot? How are you supposed to figure out you need the cola.

Also most of the alien language was just random Japanese words, it seems like. Wonder if they were in English in the original.

Sundoko clearly means 'kiss' based on context, so the last line is "I'll give you a kiss. Please, accept it!"

We have finished the love letter set but that does not meant the game is over. However, it does mean that I can share what I consider the best optimized path based on both this and Jamesman's play through:
  • First and foremost, collect a lot of the valuable garbage and sell it to Cheapot. Bare in mind that this will likely require multiple trips. I'd also recommended kissing Leo, Sniper, and Target while you you do this.
  • Next, get Goro sent to the Graveyard as well as the run ability. This may require completing the wooden gong quest so bare that in mind and kissing Agony Man is also recommended. Then you'll also need to kiss Thief Tip Toe IV and get sent to the graveyard yourself as Julie gives you a ticket back to Long Life Town when you free yourself and Goro.
  • Lastly instead of going home, go to Funny Bone Factory and talk to the teacher there. You'll also get the help wanted ad but don't worry about actually doing anything here. Once you return home, you'll kiss the conductor which allows you to buy the train pass. If you've completed the gong quest by this point, talk to Suzuki and turn in the love letter set piece.
And now, you should have the Train Pass meaning you should be set for the rest of the game.

If anyone in the thread knows this, please let me know, I'm genuinely interested. I've tried talking to the alien while up on the beacon and also tried interacting with the screen, but I've never found a message that hints at anything for the cola. I guess it could be a fortune teller hint or something but I'm surprised for something story-relevant I couldn't find the clue for the Funny Cola.

The Funny Cola explanation is a really big stretch. Drinking it harms you, but that generally means there is another use for it, much like the dead bugs you have no reason to get. The star seeds grow piano notes, which, if you watched certain alien encounter movies, the people relied on using musical notes to communicate. The whole segment with the random stuff you buy basically leads to a recreation of the space phone in ET. Since you can't drag a piano up the ladder, you needed a crude tool that can reproduce those notes in his machine. He was able to make a communications device that operated like a player piano and used that perforated Funny Cola can that could replay the notes on his device, because it was shaped like a metallic roll.


The manure container is possibly the worst thing you have to do in the game if the RNG hates you. You pick up HUGE POOPIE that is bigger than your head and takes 18 hearts. You buy lots of healing items to survive.

It's exactly the same in Japanese, word for word. The random Japanese words "translate" to other Japanese words.

If you look at the computer the alien made, there's supposed to be a message onscreen but it won't tell you what it is. I'm almost certain this is a translation error, based on the words they give you in the dictionary it should say "Dempou soccer", which would be "Insert canned juice" in the alien language, to tell you to put in a can. Don't know how you'd know it should be Funny Cola that works but would've been better to go on than nothing.

It looks way more like an antique style music box, since the player can peek inside it and see the steel comb part and that the water wheels are acting as a crank. Still a stretch but maybe they designed it that way thinking someone would make the cola can=music box cylinder connection

Oh, you're exactly right. It's supposed to say "Soccer dempou. Kurumaisu dempou."

On the penultimate episode of Chulip, it's time to hit the big 5-0 and complete all of the kisses in the game! Along with the leftover Underground Residents, we learn a frightening secret about Michelle, and we meet an old resident of Long Life Town that's having a bit of trouble adjusting to her new life.
Next week: the finale!

Technically, Chorps actually broke sequence in regard to Michelle's kiss as you're actually supposed to visit her to learn about cult before digging up the pot. The does hint at the cult itself when you read the posters on the wall below the train station.

Likewise, you are expected to first meet Mika much earlier than you actually did and visit her between leveling up and unlike the Train Pass where kissing him was optional, you are required to kiss Leo in order to complete this side story why it's a good idea to kiss him early. Her side story is easily one of the saddest in this game.
