It is a mathematically based puzzle game, that requires less hard maths and more logical thinking. Every level consists of a pattern of numbers, that can be lined up, while every 6 score points you receive one 'skip' that allows you to change to a different color. That in turn also increases your score multiplier, making the game focus a lot on logical deducation about the correct starting points, skip sequences and optimization. Very good and surprisingly enjoyable puzzle game. 3,5/5

Finally finished this after several days of torturing over the puzzles. I normally don't go for math puzzles as they make me feel dumb but this was a really beautiful game so I had to give it a go.

The puzzles certainly scale in difficulty, and I had to refer to the walkthrough on two occasions to find a correct starting position. I think the game might benefit from tips on how you should look to solve these kinds of puzzles as I haven't really come across this before. I often found myself doing some scratching-the-surface level thinking about the puzzle before just attempting to colour change as much as possible! So sometimes the game felt, for me, more trial and error than the thinking I really wanted to do.

Beautiful game though, good calm music, and a joy to play - didn't overstay its welcome either. Congrats!

I played the linux build. It hung for a while and started Steam without asking me. I thought it was DRM free?

It's actually checks for steam (so you could use steam features like achievements) but it shouldn't start the steam app. So, thank you for the report.

I experience the same behavior. The application appears unresponsive to the szstem and Steam is instructed to launch the same game. and it looks like, if you resume too quickly it’ll just hand indefinetly.

Thanks for the feedback. I've uploaded a version without Steam client connection. I hope this woks now :)

Great! Thanks for the response and have fun playing :)

I've uploaded a version without Steam client connection. I should not make any call to Steam client anymore.

The game looks very nice, but unfortunately some of the colors are not very colorblindfriendly :( I can't really progress after the fourth color is introduced...

I'm very sorry about that, I'll try to find and to add some colorblind friendly color schemes. Thank you for the feedback :)

How do I get the game to stop opening up the game's Steam page when I close it?

Oh, sounds like a bug. Thanks for the report, I'll look in to it.

Hello, I just bought this in the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. How do I get the steam key?

Hey, you must go to the installation area, on the bottom it should have a link to claim the key.

That bundle purchase doesn't come with any Steam keys for any game.

Yeah. I've come to understand that too. At first it appeared you did, but during the checkout process it said you didn't. It doesn't. Thanks for confirming.

Literally the first thing you see when pressing the nuy option is that bundle games do not provide Steam keys.

Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong Nou (東脳, Tonnō) is a point-and-click adventure game by Japanese artist Osamu Sato. It was published by Sony Music Entertainment Japan for Classic Mac OS in Japan in 1994, and in North America the following year by Sony Imagesoft. The game is considered to be a cult classic, with critics praising its surrealism.

Plot and gameplay[edit]

Not Another Soul Mac Os Catalina

Eastern Mind is a point-and-click adventure game about a man named Rin who has lost his soul. Borrowing his friend's soul for 49 days, he goes on a quest to a location known as Tong Nou to die and be reincarnated nine times in order to recover his soul. Transmigration is a core game mechanic, requiring the player to die and be reborn as part of the experience.^{[citation needed]}

Development[edit]

In 1993, game director, producer, artist, composer, and co-writer Osamu Sato became Sony Music Japan's Digital Entertainment Program's Grand Prix winner. This, plus other awards on his resume, allowed him to create Eastern Mind as a four-person team which included himself and his wife. This gave him the leverage he needed to get Sony to publish the game.^[2][3] Sato began development on Chu-Teng after the publication of Eastern Mind.^[2] The games were originally designed to be part of a trilogy, but this idea was abandoned during development.^[4] He would follow these projects with another game, LSD: Dream Emulator, in 1998.^[5]

Sato described Eastern Mind as an interactive CD-ROM experience rather than a video game, as he felt this classification would give him more legitimacy in the American market. Incorporating elements of his own Buddhist belief system, the game explores transmigration; dying is not seen as a typical game over state, ending the narrative. It is instead followed by the player revived as a different character, a process necessary to advance through the story.^[5][6] The game was created using Macromedia Director.^{[citation needed]}

Sato felt it was important that he appear in his game; the green island of Tong Nou is an altered version of the head of the game's designer.^[2] At the time of development, Sato was a techno-house musician; he therefore used this genre for the game's soundtrack. There is no voice acting, and instead the words appear at the bottom of the screen as subtitles.^[2] The narrative was co-written by Hiroko Nishikawa, who worked as a screenwriter on many of Sato's works.^[3]Hardcore Gaming 101 surmised that Sato designed the sequel to be more traditional out of fear that the first game's weirdness may have scared people away, noting that in retrospect this became Eastern Mind's draw card.^[6] Five of the game's musical tracks would be featured on Sato's 1995 album, Transmigration.^[3] Reworked versions of the game's themes would be released on another album of Sato's in 2017, All Things Must Be Equal.^[7]

Release[edit]

Eastern Mind was first released in Japan by Sony Music Entertainment Japan in April^[1] 1994, and was later localized in English and released by Sony Imagesoft for Microsoft Windows as well as Mac OS in early August^[8][9] 1995.^[2][3] The game was also planned to be released for the PlayStation, but fell through.^[3] The game became extremely rare, and by 2002, the game would sell on eBay to collectors for a few hundred dollars.^[2] For many years, the game passed hands through anonymous torrent files.^[10] In 2008, a blogger discovered the game and started a YouTube channel to highlight it and to follow the rediscovery of its sequel.^[11]

Reception[edit]

Not Another Soul Mac Os X

Tap Repeatedly thought the game was the strangest they had ever played, and loved the game for it.^[2]Quandary felt the title's identity was torn between a game and an exploration of multimedia capabilities.^[12]PC Multimedia & Entertainment Magazine wrote that while the game is enjoyable to play, it may be asking too much of their readers to take a leap of faith and pay for the product.^[13] Vice described it as one of the most bizarre and terrifying games of all time, additionally deeming it 'self-indulgent', 'psychedelic', 'disturbing', and 'niche'.^[14] The site also pointed out that the game is often ridiculed as an example of the strangeness of Japanese culture, rather than a testament to the blood, sweat, and tears Sato poured into his work.^[14] Complex listed the game in a list of The 10 Weirdest Japanese Video Games Ever Made, deeming it an obscure freak show.^[15] Wired praised the game as an overwhelmingly surreal Myst-like experience, complimenting Sato's simultaneously elaborate and childlike art design.^[16] Hardcore Gaming 101 noted the difficulty of the puzzles due to the game purposely being devoid of logic, and embraced this as a positive.^[3] Killscreen felt that the title was not a game, and rather a window into the recesses of Sato's mind.^[10] Biglobe felt the characters were eerie and humorous, praising the sense of oriental animism that pervaded the experience.^[4] Publication Karapaia thought the game 'tastes the strangeness that lurks in the depths of psychology'.^[17]Rolling Stone suggested that the game instills an 'initial tinge of disorientation [that] gives way to cultural vertigo' as the Western player realises that unlike usual games where they kill the enemy, the protagonist has to die in order to progress.^[18] Wall Street Journal deemed it ' more of a journey than a story or moral tale'.^[8]

Next Generation reviewed the Macintosh version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that 'Eastern Mind gives the feel of a complex mythology based on the Buddhist ideal of continual reincarnation as progress toward redemption. Maybe players versed in ethnic studies can even use that knowledge to their advantage in the course of the game; but we have no idea.'^[19]

Chu-Teng[edit]

A sequel, titled Chu-Teng (中天), was released in Japan for Mac and Windows in October^[1] 1995.^[6][2] Deemed a 'lost game' and becoming an urban legend due to its rarity, there were claims of 'no record of anyone having ever played' it, with some believing that it was an unfinished prototype or an unattainable relic, with even Sato claiming to not have a copy.^[20][14] In 2013, an ISO image of the game surfaced from an anonymous 4chan user, which was then uploaded onto the internet.^[14]Vice deemed this rediscovery an unusual case of fan dedication and love of Sato bringing a game back from the dead.^[14] Reviewing the game, Hardcore Gaming 101 felt that with the transmigration element dropped, it became more of an ordinary adventure game than its predecessor, which was a 'letdown' due to stripping away what they believed made Eastern Mind 'great'.^[6]
