Chulip (SLUS-20742)

You and your father have just moved into a rural town famous for an ancient legend. It's been said that whoever kisses underneath the old tree on the hill will be destined to live happily ever after. With your eyes set on a girl living in a nearby pipe... you set out on your quest. Filled with a new determination, you've sworn to yourself that you'll do whatever it takes to kiss this charming little girl underneath the ancient tree and spend the rest of your life with her. To do this, you need to improve your reputation. Many in town are tired of their repetitive lives... they are always worried about something and have lost all of their hopes and dreams. It is up to you...to bring back life to this town and to move their hearts! You will have to solve a variety of puzzles to help characters open their hearts, moving every closer to your destiny. This is the world of Chulip. And it's one of the most surprising, wacky, startling and appealing worlds ever created. Your ultimate goal is to kiss the girl under the ancient tree! Chulip is a wacky adventure that mixes in a quirky Japanese backdrop with a wealth of pure hilarious humor. The odd and lovable characters in this game are unforgettable!

Chulip has been labeled a "kissing RPG", and if that doesn't make much sense to you, you're probably not alone :P

Our main character (named by the player) is a boy in his early teens who has just moved with his Father to the distinctly 60's/70's (Japan) flavored "Long Life Town". Once there, he has a dream about kissing a cute girl under a magical tree that is said to grant a happy and lasting relationship to any couple who kiss beneath it. During his meanderings about town the following morning, he learns that both the tree and the girl are real, and are both right there in the town he's just moved to. Approaching the girl and moving in for the kiss in real life, however, the boy finds himself unsuccessful and the recipient of a nasty slap. Turns out he's "not her type".

After a heart-to-heart about it with his Father, the boy sets off on a quest to win her heart and prove he's a stand-up guy. How to do this? By kissing else everyone in town first. As much as this wouldn't work in the real world, it's a pretty great premise for a game. Along the way, he'll also have to learn to write the ultimate love letter to get her in the mood for when the day he can finally kiss her rolls around. How lucky then that Michio Suzuki, a Mr.Saturn-like disembodied head with a paintbrush sticking out of it, lives in a drain near his new home, and just happens to be in possession of the "Ultimate Lover-Letter Writing Set". Which is soon thereafter stolen. D'oh!

Gameplay-wise, Chulip is again a variation on moon - essentially your character is quite limited in the amount of stuff he's able to do at first, and will only be allowed to explore further from his home base the more his "heart grows" from kissing people. And like moon, the key to progression is usually helping others. Sometimes the kiss itself is all a character needs - everyone likes to feel better about themselves - and in these cases it's usually just a matter of approaching carefully at the right time, or perhaps having a certain item on your person. More prominent characters, however, usually have a whole side-story revolving around them and it may take a good chunk of the game before events fall into place and you're able to help them out and be rewarded with a kiss for your efforts.

There's Batayan, for example, the guitar-slinging slacker you can see in the video below. Tired of just breezing through life, Batayan realises he needs a job, but how to get one? Well, maybe you could become president of the huge factory the next town over and hire him? As if this weren't difficult enough, Batayan quickly becomes dissatisfied with his job and longs to return to his carefree lifestyle, so before he gives you a kiss, you'll have to fire him too!

If you're intrigued by the concept, you should be, but as for the actual gameplay, well, that's a less obvious proposition. Chulip's a game you'll probably either love or hate, and though I'm firmly in the former category, if you check out the reviews you'll find plenty of people leaning toward the latter.

The first bone of contention for most is that save points are so few and far between. Why is this important? Because dying in Chulip is really something of an inevitability. Going in for a kiss on someone who's not yet willing will get you a smack in the mouth and lose you some hearts, but you can be injured by seemingly innocuous things, and for seemingly innocuous reasons, just some of which include: touching poop while rifling through a garbage can for stuff to sell at the pawn shop, playing on playground equipment, not turning taps on and off in the correct order while taking a bath, drinking tea with a zombie in a graveyard at night (fair enough, really), reading a boring comic book (seriously), smoking (again, fair enough), breaking curfew, and in one instance, getting a puzzle RIGHT. Also, to even be able to use a save point in most areas in the first place you'll need to unlock it by completing a task for someone, and WHO is rarely immediately obvious.

Also, progression in the game at times seems to be directly related to how willing you are to look up a walkthrough (tellingly, the US version's instruction booklet includes a full walkthrough). The game absolutely NEVER holds your hand, and at times you'll likely have no idea what you're supposed to be doing next, or at other times you WILL have an idea of what you're supposed to do next, but even with all the tools at your disposal the solution may be so out there and illogical that you'd never have though of it by yourself. Quite a few reviewers also made mention that the game's graphics look extremely dated in comparison to other PS2 releases of the day - this makes sense when you remember that this game came out in the US a full FIVE YEARS after it's Japanese release (no, I don't know why either). People who care about that sort of thing probably shouldn't be playing games like this anyway, really.

If you can look past all this and take the game on it's own merits, you'll enjoy it. And really, the game is so freakin' charming, it's very not hard to. If you're interested in getting yourself a US copy, it might be prudent to do so as soon as possible. It was released in the States exclusively through Gamestop and in limited numbers, and copies don't pop up on eBay all that often nowadays. Good luck!
