CG Mukashi Banashi: Jiisan 2-do Bikkuri!!

About

This visual novel remixes three classic Japanese folktales with branching choices that twist familiar stories into unpredictable chaos. Players navigate rewritten versions of well-known legends, where decisions about character actions or relationships shift the plot toward multiple endings. The game mashes up characters from different tales in the same world, letting you watch Urashima Taro and Momotaro interact or follow other oddball pairings. Each story segment allows perspective switches, adding layers to how conflicts unfold. The standout is how it breaks the "fixed ending" rule of traditional folklore. Community archives note over 20 distinct endings across the three tales, with some routes leaning into absurdity like time loops or alternate history twists. Released in 1996 but still niche among visual novel collectors, it treats ancient myths as a playground for experimental storytelling. The PlayStation ports keep the pixel art and minigames intact from the original Super Famicom release.

Storyline

Japanese tales from childhood days. They are always the same story that everyone may have heard with the same endings. . . However, giving some funny changes and arrangement with new development is what you can do in this game! It's not just original characters who enter the scene. Other characters come from other stories and cross over in the same world! Like Urashima Taro bumping into Momotaro. Not only that, other characters from other many stories among old tales form unusual connections in many location with variety. It is possible to change to other character's viewpoints and it is possible to reach multiple variations of the story ending. This game overturns the established concept that there is only one ending to one story!
