YU-NO – The Girl that Chants Love at the Edge of the World

YU-NO

Takuya Arima is a young student whose father, a historian who has conducted various researches, disappeared recently. During a summer vacation Takuya receives a peculiar package from his missing father, along with a letter containing information about the existence of various parallel worlds. At first Takuya doesn’t take it seriously, but soon he realizes that he possesses a device that allows him to travel to alternate dimensions. Is his father alive, after all? If so, where is he?

    1. The rating for this game are really high(on 31 people 27 gave it 10) so I guess It’s good. And I don’t think anyone would bother translating 15 years old VN if it’s bad.

  1. Thanks as always admin. Too bad i don’t have time to play it, even though I’m very curious why does this game has such high ratings.

  2. thanks admin! Been wanting to play this one ever since I got into VNs, as it’s suppposed to be god-tier and all.

  3. You’re uploading new VN’s at a pretty fast pace nowadays admin, and I like it! =D

    As for the game…
    It looks like an old game, but the concept of alternate worlds sound intrueging. And like harkoz said, they would translate a 15 year old game if it was bad. So I guess I’ll download it.

  4. For anyone using Daemon Tools Lite having issues installing the game because mounting the disc file doesn’t lead into installation of the game, you’ll want to try another program. Using a trial version of one of the more advanced versions of Daemon Tools is what I happened to do.

  5. need help game does not load am running windows 7 with japanese locale tibili have tried xp compatability as well

  6. Oh by the way how many episodes r they in yuno? in jap version it show three selection in the beginning but in eng tranlated is just one? Did i do something wrong?

  7. i get a weird error when ever i try to download the english patch says theres a connection error and refuses to finish the download, this is from multiple links with multiple browsers…. can anyone .rar the file and reupload somewhere see if i can actually get this onto my computer

    1. ok had to jump through hoops and download a seprate download manager just to get the damn file to save correctly on my system…. honestly thats a little weird

  8. Is it possible to upload to hotfile, or is there some kind of problem with it? (I got a sub there, so it’d go sooo much faster >_>)

  9. Hey Admin, can you start uploading the files to Mediafire instead, or a free site where you can download unlimited times?

    1. Short answer: No.
      Long answer: No. You can, however, download part1 from filesonic, and while it’s downloading, start downloading part2 from fileserve. By the time part2 downloads, you should be able to download part3 from filesonic again.

  10. Does anyone here know the trigger to get out of your room after getting the first jewel? I’ve been at it for hours, but I can’t seem to progress…

    1. Happened the same to me :)))

      Did you examine the phone on your desk?

      This game is very much similar to the old point-and-click text adventures :)))

      1. Bless you bless you bless you. Been trying to figure that out for two days now, should have come back here sooner. I remember now how badly I sucked at point and click adventure games …

  11. HOLY COW
    On erogegamescape
    this is the HIGHEST RATED GAME EVER

    I never ever expected to play the game in my life (considering its age, not many people would be interested). But WOW, I love this website.

  12. Thanks! I wouldn’t have heard of most of these VNs if not for this site.

    On another note. This sites very helpful. Most VNs I see are pretty expensive.. It’s nice being able to try im out. If I rly enjoy one, I’ll buy it. Works good! 😀

  13. I’m on Eriko route and I’m stuck at the part where you’re required to go to the infirmary after going to the rooftop. Does anyone know what I’m supposed to do at the infirmary?

    1. Just keep doing things: you have to meet some other characters before Eriko: Kanna on the rooftop, Yuuki outside school, the beard guy who worked with your father, and an old woman outside the mansion.

  14. i just know the world of the novel visul just a month ago lol and it was because I was reading the world god only know hahhaha …. however old or new v’n are important story behind it .

  15. Not sure if anyone else has had this pop up.

    My AVG shows the English Patch coming up as containing malware.

    1. My Bitdefender (one of the most overly strict Antivirus software out there) didn’t pick up anything. Nor has anybody else found any issue with it. It’s been suggested the voice patch uses a hack method to inject the voice during gameplay, so that could be it. Most definitly a false positive on AVG’s part.

      1. Yes, AVG and Avast have problem with voice exe. Send it to vendor so that they correct the false positive. Until they fix it, you should add voice exe to exception list.

  16. it seems we can play 2 other games with yuno: shangri 1 and 2.
    But there doesn’t seems to be a english patch for those.
    Is it normal?

  17. Nobody has really answered this, I’ve been coming back and checking the comments for a solution but there hasn’t been one.I try to install the game, but when i open the install/setup nothing happens. I know other people are having this problem, so if anyone can help solve this problem or give a solution it would really help.. admins ?

    1. I have the same problem too however there’s an easy way to install it without using install.exe
      1. mount the image
      2. go to the drive copy whole content of YUNO only
      3. paste the file anywhere you want
      4. apply the patch
      5. play the game using AI5ENG.exe

  18. I’m going to avoid this for a while… until I have nothing else to do… why? Netorare. This game contains netorare. You have been warned.

    1. You make it sound like it’s a bad thing…
      We have like 200 translated games already where boy meets girl, they fall in love with each other and live happily ever after.

      1. Well, I don’t think it’s a plus and I just felt like handing out a warning. I’ve seen more people rage about NTR than praise it. I’ll probably still play it eventually since the story is intriguing but still… I’m sensitive like that, I suppose. 😛

        1. Well… Personally i’m not a huge fan of NTR, but it definetely brings some fresh air – up until recently all visual novels that got translated were generic high school romances, or jast sex romps.

        2. Thanks for the heads up man, I hate NTR myself so I’ll avoid this. Different things for different people I guess. No need to get into discussion about tastes now.

          1. Don’t listen to him. The NTR isn’t that huge of deal here, since you have a time machine that literally lets you go back in time and stop the NTR once you discovered the means to, either further down in the same timeline, or from an alternative timeline.

    2. Thanks for the heads-up. I’m kinda tired of rape in games… movies, manga… I mean, yeah. I do get that a game can be really good, but I don’t think it excuses it. Rape culture, anyone?

  19. Ahahah your tears feed me. You have no idea how much some people like use love netorare! Some of the hosts of Fakku(a website) say they like netorare because they like to feel emotion in their hentai and feel the rage. Thats one side of the netorare appreciation, but another side is my side. We love netorare and dont feel rage and sadness, no, we feel euphoria in our brains. I can’t explain it, its similar to how i like lolicon(tho in RL i dont think kids are cute, just annoying) and futanari(i dont like dicks on women in real life its freaky). If you know sexuality terms, it is a fetish. I just love seeing a girl cheating on her lover, especially if its voluntary, i love seeing the man getting betrayed and seeing his tears. Similar to the protagonist’s tears, your tears make me feel a sense of sadistic pleasure, thats why people QQing about netorare is part of our pleasure!

    1. So… it’s a sadistic pleasure? I’ve always called netorare in visual novels ‘loser fetish’ since most VNs make you either like the protag or put you in their shoes. I don’t know many guys that’d be all “HELLZ YEAH, MAH GURL CHEATED ON ME LOLZ” or to a friend “HELLZ YEAH, UR GURL CHEATED ON U LOLZ”. Don’t get me wrong, if the dude’s an a-hole I’m perfectly fine with NTR… sadly that’s rarely the case.

      1. well i dont really feel i am in protagonists shoes very often tbh, their values and situations are just too differnent from mine, and its rare that dating sims (games where you are directly put in the shoes of the MC) have netorare seeing as they revolve around so many girls having netorare in there is a hard fit.

        when i see the protagonist in despair, it feels so good for some reason. i cant really explain it, its like taking away their sense of happiness, ruining someones sanity and security is so satisfying. My only fib is that many netorare games have a foreigner play the role of the seducer, i mean way to make the Japanese distrust foreigners even more, and then the use of fat people, i mean man fat people are human just like you and me but instead they make them seem like monsters and rapists.

        1. Personally I’m not a huge fan of NTR either, but i can see that it is a fetish, and the way it is different does allow for a change of pace and originality in the face of the more generic titles. But I can’t stand it for too long especially if the story and characters are favorable, because it causes me to have a much angrier disposition, when compared to the more quick and mindless NTR where I do not have as much of an attachment.

          And yes I see that a lot of NTR have “those” types of seducers. I think that is because they are used to foil the protagonist, which, imo, I usually try to identify myself with (if i was unable to do that because I would feel less rage), though like you said, you don’t seem to identify yourself with them and that is probably why you don’t feel a lot of what other people feel. Though I don’t exactly always identify myself with protagonists either (epically in NTR). If the seducer was less of a foil, they would not induce as much rage and be more acceptable than the usual “seducers”.

    1. The latest from them was that Go! Go! Nippon one. They have other VNs lined up but none have a release date as of yet. Amaterasu just translated “A Profile”. I don’t think there are any english translations planned to be released anytime soon. Just surprise ones (if any).

  20. good morning/evening admin, i was wondering how is you can decided what game you will upload.

    i mean, you must be choose a game from so many new released eroge, right?

    (hey, can we submit a walkthroughs here? if can how?)

    sorry to ask so many.

    1. criteria is simple – i’m posting every one that got translated to english. Uploading “A Profile” right now…

  21. Hey you guy, i’m just posting here to tell damm admin you are awesome, this VN is truly epic soo many path splits soo many possibilities i even avoided the walktrought so i can get everything by myself :D, btw about the netorare thing well to tell the truth when it happened it didn’t really bother me that much

    SPOILER:

    time travel makes it easy to not bother with it, since you can simple go back in time and fix things

    SPOILER OVER:

    so well thanks a bunch admin for sharing this, without you i would never have heard of it. you have my deeply gratitude

  22. What I find to be an issue with the game is how you have to do everything all over again if you want to go from the start. My first time playing I didn’t really know what I was doing with the spheres so I got stuck and had to do the entire route all over again.

    1. This also severely damps the ability to freely explore, as you have to go through everything all over again if you go down a route you don’t want.

        1. I’m just noting that it limits any claims to how “amazing” the game is. The concept itself is quite interesting, but it’s let down by these interface issues.

          1. The system is suppose to be part of the game. As long as you understand how it works, you’d rarely find your self in trouble. People these days are just too used to being held hand by the save/load system.

            It was amazing because it broke so many new grounds at the time. There’s a reason why this is the highest rated game ever on ErogeScape.

    2. Don’t know what you’re talking about, as long as you leave at least one jewl in your reflector, it’ll keep working. It’s all about planning out when to drop your jewl and when to recover them.

  23. Actually come to think fo it, did you even use any of your jewl to creat jump points at all? Don’t tell me you just play the routes straight though without ever creating backtrack points…

    1. First time through, I didn’t quite get how it worked, so I accidentally used all my jewels, so in order to finish that route I had to go through the whole thing over again.

      Even with the jewels though, you end up having to replay some sections a fair amount, the worst being the beginning since you have to pointlessly search everything before you can advance.

  24. Hey, I’m pretty much at the end, and I can’t figure out the clock >< Anyone know what the numbers you need to hit are, and the order? I've tried randomly pushing em', and none of the walkthroughs or guides say anythin' about it x.x

  25. ugh some of you people are superficial
    Judging a game on it’s quality just because it’s old? you are suspicious of playing a old game? Give me a break. Some old games are better than new games. Just because a game has shiny new graphics doesn’t make it great.

    1. I find that frankly ‘MOST’ older games are better than newer games… not just in the eroge line either… older games focused more on plot, story, and gameplay since the technology for graphics weren’t as good as today… today…most of them focus on graphics, while story, plot, and gameplay are thrown to the wind, and most of the sheep-people brainlessly follow along with the hype.

        1. No. There is a jewel in the middle left of the map which unusually travelled through dimensions.
          Anyway, it will lead you to the end of the game.

  26. I’m not sure how I feel about the epilogue so far. I have been at it for a couple of hours but its story is just so different from the rest of the game that I’m starting to think it should be a different game altogether.

    1. spoiler alert the epilogue ties everything together in fact the name of the game comes from the epilogue but i would like to have seen a second game that was based in the other world where you could effect in instead of just following the path

  27. Can you get a ending were Mitsuki Doesn’t get shot.
    I have the sliver disk,I have picked the orb behind the steel doors I have seen the ending where you are tied up and they kill you Is their a Ending for Mistsuki and Eriko! Got two walkthroughs but they are not really detailed.

  28. can someone help me?
    I just cant find the last jewel in the study room.
    The walktrought says that i can find it as soon as i enter the room,but the divergence map says otherwise.
    Anyway, can someone tell me where to clik? I tried everything

  29. This is the one VN I haven’t been able to figure out how to install.

    First I manage to mount the .bin file in daemon tools lite but then the install becomes corrupted and game keeps freezing so then I remove all the installed files.

    Next time when I try reinstalling, the installer wont start the set-up. Insted I extract all files from the .bin and try to start the installer from my harddrive, but yields the same results. Furthermore when trying to take away the essential files and then re-extract them from the .rar files again it says they’re currently being used, even with the files being dismounted in daemon-tools, and no other existing programs using it.

    Figuring it’s an issue with daemon-tools, I decide to reinstall the whole thing, and after that it doesn’t even find the .bin file anymore. Using Windows 7 so shouldn’t be a problem there either and can’t figure out how the fuck to solve this.

    I just played through MuvLuv and I need something good to clear my head from that junk. Like really, most anime harem adaptions of visual novels are better than that VN, and most anime harem adaptions are shit.

  30. >Click on ai5eng_voice.exe
    >Game Starts
    >Choose color
    >Everything turns from pink screen to black
    >Nothing happens
    >Nothing happens
    >Nothing happens
    >Close down game, rince and repeat

    How to solve this?

  31. Wow after making the first jewel save I can’t even follow the Eriko route properly. That walkthrough just leaves way too many things out to be a walkthrough. Can’t find her in the infirmary and accidentally trigger the AYumi route.

    Y U NO create a detailed walkthrough for YUNO. (Sorry had to use that pun)

  32. According to the walkthrough if you read documents you are told to by the game that give some explanation of how the game works you get stuck at the very beginning and have to restart.

    Don’t care how good the game might be if that’s how it starts it would be foolish to continue playing.

    I could be mistaken of course and the problem is that I didn’t click the right pixel enough times, which isn’t any better.

  33. Got stuck at the part where you’re at the cafe with his foxy mom after following the old professor. No matter what I clicked I couldnt leave. When I tried to talk to her she kept saying “Who are you?” which made me think there was a glitch and the text was cut off or something. And no matter what I did I couldn’t leave the scene. I finally reinstalled the game fresh, so we’ll see if that fixes it….

    1. Make sure you click her hair, the cigarete in her hand, the ash tray, her breast, her eyes, the plants around her, basically everything remotely clickable several times and you should recognize her in the game.

  34. A lot of your files for MediaFire, including this one (and Quartett and the fan disk for Himiwari no Shoujo), has been deleted. Can you reupload them?
