Eastern Mind / Chu-Teng

The internet underground has recently discovered the works of Osamu Sato, who published a handful of extremely odd games in extremely limited quantities. Here are two of them: Tong-Nou (somehow released in English under the name Eastern Mind) and its sequel, Chu-Teng. At the end of the day, they're fairly standard 1st person point-and-clicks, but both conceptually and aesthetically, they're incredibly bizarre, especially the death-reincarnation of the first game.

"the islands happens" > either "island" or "happen".
"Make out of that what you will." > "Make of that what you will."
"Sato itself" > "himself"
"Very few people were convinced of that assetion's authenticity, and rightly so." > " rightly so" would mean that people were right not to believe him, but in the next sentence you explain that he did actullay come though. Also, I didn't spot it initially, but now my browser is underlining "assetion" in red, cause it should be "assertion".
"Yet, what seemed indeed like a tease proved itself to be perfectly true." > the "itself" seems superfluous.
"the Internet's backdoor portal" > "backdoor" used in that computer-like context makes me think of a software backdoor, it's odd. Could be just me.
"now that is game" > "this game"?
"could be translated a "heaven"" > "as "heaven"".
"posthumously anticipated" > that seems weird. Did the game die?

Great that eastern mind is starting to get more recognition. I discovered it a few years ago a loved every second. Even wrote a walkthrough of it for Gamefaqs, glad that someone might have used it by now.

I think it's good, but the first two paragraphs for Chu-Teng need some restructuring. I'm happy you made this though!
I'd honestly think we could still improve on it structurally. Thanks so much for writing this!

By the way Iwant, would you consider looking into more rpgmaker/indie games from gamejolt.
There are some interesting things I feel could make great articles.
The guy who made OFF has several new games.

I'll have a look at that when I get the occasion.

Regarding Mortis Ghost's other games, there isn't much to say though - I've played them all and they're very short games, and they definitely aren't as interesting as OFF.

Oh ok. Well maybe if you don't mind if I can ever motivate myself I'd love to write about the catamites and Mortis Ghosts other games then. I find them interesting. The articles super cool thanks though
