Planetarian

The unceasing Rain──
The 『sealed city』,
abandoned 30 years ago after a sudden biochemical warhead strike.
The uninhabited ruins,
ruled over only by autonomous battle drones.
The man came to this place,
finding shelter inside a tall building as he grew exhausted,
and there he came across
a planetarium,
a room that once filled the hearts of men
with the wonders of all the stars in all the sky.
And there, he met a young woman
whose name was 「Reverie」.
A member of the planetarium’s help staff
who had continued to wait for customers for over 30 years;
a broken robot──
Entreated by 「Reverie」,
he lost track of time as he repaired
the nonfunctional planetarium projector.
The continuous Rain.
Those quiet days spent with 「Reverie」.
A long-lost nostalgia that began to arise in the man’s heart.
What will he think about this sky of manmade stars?
And what is the fate of this 「Reverie」 of a little planet?

this game made me cry... manly tears

Try right-clicking and choosing "run as administrator."

Harrowingly beautiful... I guarentee this will make you cry either manly tears of sympathy or of sheer sorrow of the purity of the girl who waited, who was abandoned... who's life ended after fulfilling her purspose to simply show people the stars and make them happy....If you don't cry for poor Revire and her devotion to stand out in the rain for years on end to call customers in from the rain, to give her bouquet of scrambled parts, and give her last show to her precious customers, then your heart really must be made of stone...

Mizzy04 Jul 2012Reply

firstly got problem with the buy and get... then when i used cracked its run fine...

Shawn11 Jul 2012Reply

I installed the game and the English patch but when I try to run the game a window pops up with Japanese text. I have tried extracting the cracked .exe to the directory where the game is but whenever I do I get an error message saying: Cannot open file.

I have heard this VN was good and I really want to read it. I have tried the solutions that other people have said but none of them have worked.

Shawn11 Jul 2012Reply

Need to add some information. When the Japanese text pops two red boxes pop up as well. I click on either one and click on the choice below and it brings up a progress bar. After a few second the bar goes away and a Japanese text pops up with a red X. I have tried using the crack and even put it in the same folder where I installed the game.

It doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Geno13 Jul 2012Reply

That has happened to me as well.

Mike25 Jul 2012Reply

I knew 20 minutes in that it would end badly and after that I just shed countless numbers of tears throughout the whole story. This is why i absolutely hate stories in the hopless future. They always make my cry. Saying that it was a good story would not be enough but sadly the sadness and remorse make it impossible to express my feelings in any other word. It was a good story.

Tenshou30 Jul 2012Reply

this VN made its way to my favorites even though its so short. Beautiful in every way, i think this is my favorite, even beats steins;gate in my favor. made me think about stars, how there everywhere, but no one really takes the time to look up and realize the beauty. ending was sad though......

Shinji09 Aug 2012Reply

can someone please put up information on how to download,I dont speak japanese so i can understand why the hell it wont install

Kuro11 Aug 2012Reply

This was made by KEY right. If so then it is a must play

Zack16 Aug 2012Reply

I'm gonna write a quick guide for those who are having problems with the buy/get problem and general installing (as I just went through this).

INITIAL INSTALLATION
As usual you will need to extract the planetarian.rar into a folder. But before you start using the PlanetarianEnglishPatchSetup, go to the extraction folder and run the PlanetarianRetail application. You will follow the steps and make sure to send the information into your extraction folder. From here you now need to run the PlanetarianEnglishPatchSetup follow the steps, and naturally, add it to the extraction folder.

BUY/GET PROBLEM
This is where the buy/get problem arises if you try to use the Start application, basically there's no way to play the game at this point as you'll just loop between loading screens. However, this problem is easily remedied! In your extraction folder you will have a folder called Crack. Inside the Crack folder is a application called planetarian with a purple and yellow icon. You need to move this application out of the crack folder and directly into the extraction folder. Once there you need to run the application and press ok. Now you have a item in your extraction folder called Kinetic.OLD! Congrats! You can now click the Start application, press play, (and after you close what appears to be an error box) the game will load!

I hope this guide helps, I don't really check these forums after I play the game, but I might in the future. Best of Luck!

nicolas17 Aug 2012Reply

i did all of this, but my game freez at the first image, but i keep hearing the sounds, im using windows 7 so i dont have japanese founts on my computer :S and im not being able to find anything on the internet, maybe that the problem?

Zack18 Aug 2012Reply

From that response I can feel pretty certain that your system locale is not set to Japanese. The process behind that on windows 7 is to open your control panel, then select Clocks, Language and Region, the select Region and Language, Then open the administrative tab and the second selection will be your system locale, change that to Japanese and restart your computer. Should be good to go, but let me know if it doesn't work.

Kei-tr29 Aug 2012Reply

That's worked for me thanks:). And i want to add a side note. Game doesn't work with applocale. After i opened game via applocale, whenever i click font options or reach first background, game crashes. But that will not happen if you set your system locale to Japanese. Thats first time to me a vn not working with applocale actually runing if you change your locale to Japanese.

shenevie07 Nov 2012Reply

ha... thanks. you solve my problem.

Vehn10 Dec 2012Reply

It worked for me. Thank you very much! ：）

jin12 Sep 2012Reply

It does not work for me, as at start when you hear the first line a girl says in Japanese it stops working. Where did I do it wrong? Or it means I need Voice patch for it to work?

I have the same problem any help?

iDIn't cry itech

darrel14 Oct 2012Reply

I got it to work.

First, take that file in the root called: PlanetarianRetail.exe and run it. Choose the directory and all that.

Then, run the english patch, using the same directory

Move the file [under ROOT:\Planetarian\Crack]: Planetarian.exe into the root of the main install [ie ROOT:\planetarian].

Run it. You should see a yellow exclamation mark.

Then run Start.exe

That should work! Good luck! I haven't played it yet, I was just hoping I could help some of you out :)

fireballlll006 Nov 2012Reply

Is the voice patch Fanmade, or just didnt get carried over properly for the release? Also if fanmade is it good?

Kyukai05 Dec 2012Reply

how can i run the game

MadNinja14 Jan 2013Reply

Although a little tricky to install, this VN is most definitely worth it. Took me roughly 3 hours to finish it but man, what a story! Don't forget to change your system locale to Japanese manually! The game only runs when its done manually and not through AppLocale.

FrostJoke16 Jan 2013Reply

HERMERGERD. I can't seem to install this. D:

I downloaded both files. Extracted them (separately). When I try to run \PlanetarianRetail.exe\ (the grey icon) -- nothing ever happens, I tried checking my Task Manager, nothing is listed.

I tried:
-run as admin
-run normally
-run in compatibility mode (WinXP SP2)
-run in compatibility mode (WinXP SP3)

Nothing happens. Please help me. D:

P.S. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit Edition).

My install notes from Win 7
-"Region for non-unicode programs" MUST be set to Japan, then restart. It's not enough just to change the language. big frustration for me at first.
-Download and install Sazanami-gothic font. It may help with a known issue. Available from a variety of places on the 'net

- If you don't cry at the end you have no soul. You were warned.

Kap'n Kronic19 Oct 2013Reply

I didn't because I can't seem to figure out how to download this. I can download 35 other VNs without a problem but not this one.

dreamedfire21 Apr 2014Reply

Ok so I had some trouble downloading this so here's how I got it to work.
1. Download the first file and run the retail copy with Jap locale to install it.
2. Download the english patch and move it to the same folder you have the first file in, and run that with jap locale as well.
3. Find the "planetarian" folder in your program files, and copy and paste that into your folder with everything else so far.
4. Take the no dvd crack and move it to the folder you obtained from the program files and run with jap locale, this removes the error asking for a key
5. to run the game, run either "kinetic.exe" or "start.exe" in jap locale

Hope this helps as I saw people were having trouble

dreamedfire21 Apr 2014Reply

forgot to add but to get the voices download the voice file and merge the "KINETICDATA" folder with the one of the same name in the "planetarian" folder you obtained from your program files
