Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou is a Japanese Point-and-Click Game by OutSide Director Osamu Sato, first released in 1994 for the Apple Macintosh. An English translation and PC port followed in 1995. It was developed by OutSide Directors Company and published by Sony Imagesoft.Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou is also a... rather strange game.The game starts out with a guy named Rin discovering that his soul was stolen by the island of Tong-Nou—presumably to eat it—and if he doesn't get it back then he'll "weaken and eventually die in emptiness." Rin decides to go and retrieve his soul, but before he does, his friend Yashiro gives him a temporary soul which will last for forty-nine days. When he gets there it turns out that the island is a giant green human head floating in darkness, and in order to continue your quest, you have to enter the head through one of its orifices. Things only get stranger from there. By the way, it was created by Osamu Sato, who is also responsible for LSD: Dream Emulator, which explains a lot.There was a sequel, but it was even more obscure and was only released in Japan, so for years virtually nothing was known in the West except that it was called Chu-Teng ("ä¸å¤©"). However after years of searching, a copy was unearthed by 4chan.Please put tropes for Chu-Teng on its own page! |

Guide Dang It! |
| | Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 |
comment |
Guide Dang It!: Happens occasionally, but it happens especially in Byou's life, where you have to answer who owns the Eyeball of Dreaming. It's Tou-Gyou, or the king of Tong-Nou. However, this fact is only brought up on the ending... Something that is either way after you should be here, or a bunch of Insane Troll Logic. You'd basically have to do brute force, hack into the game, or simply look up a walkthrough to figure this out, lest you wish to spend extreme amounts of time trying to force upon Insane Troll Logic to solve the puzzle. For the solution to the puzzle, One of Tou-Gyou's messages mentions the eyeballs were his. In order to find out his name, you're supposed to click on his image that appears in certain locations in the game, who claims he is Tou-Gyou. When you input Tou-Gyou into the keyboard on the Computer, you will get a message regarding his name, and a slight appearance of him. You're then meant to link that character with the images, and how he is everywhere, but nowhere, and state Tou-Gyou as the true owner. |

Controllable Helplessness: The entirety of your very brief time "playing" as Zen is spent frozen in ice. The only thing you're able to do is look left and right around a nondescript hallway while listening to Zen's thoughts about how boring and depressing living in ice is, until an intruder ( you) comes in and immediately kills you. |

Jump Scare: Although there are no screamers, some monsters will appear suddenly in front of the player. These can be accidental, too, due to a glitch in some dumps that speeds up some animations intensely. A rather stunning example is Retsu's death, which is normally a rather slow animation, but with the glitch, literally happens in about a second. |

Who Wants to Live Forever? |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: Used in an odd way. Escaping with your soul means enduring multiple deaths, or reincarnation, which is also used as a game mechanic. If you accept the gift of immortality via the Room of Immortality, you're trapped forever in Tong-Nou, represented by an endless rapid-fire slideshow of every scene in the game. This is the only way to actually lose in the game, as any other death allows you to reincarnate. The game is, of course, Unwinnable if you do this and haven't saved beforehand. |

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Apparently, the Island steals souls not for eating, but for purifying. |

Department of Redundancy Department: Tong Nou(�脳) is Japanese/Chinese for East(ern) Mind/Brain. Therefore, the title is literally Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Eastern Mind. |
