Tsukihime

Tsukihime is a doujin visual novel, released in December 2001 by TYPE-MOON. It tells the story of Tohno Shiki, who since a life-threatening accident in his youth is cursed with the ability to see “lines” on everything around him. Lines along which objects can easily be cut.
Having lived with foster parents for seven years, Shiki is recalled to the household of his family. He had lost all contact with his family over this entire period, making it difficult for him to get used to the new situation. As he gradually learns more about his past, the situation becomes more and more unfamiliar and dangerous.

NakaNaide19 Jul 2011Reply

The game was made back in 2000, but it shouldnt matter i can run in on windows 7 64bit your operating system should meet the specifications itself unless your running vista then idk what to say cause never used it and never will.

admin26 Jul 2011Reply

Poweriso has problems handling japanese filenames in cd images. Use deamon tools lite instead.

Ze Spy25 Sep 2011Reply

Hey, so, I'm a bit late to the party but I've honestly been trying to get the game itself running for the better part of a week. Every time I mount the file it either gives me a error (when I use PowerIso), the install gives a grey popup box (Isobuster), or my laptop treats it as a music CD (when I use Daemon Tools lite) I'm wondering what exactly I'm doing wrong. I've downloaded VNs in the past and I haven't had anywhere near as hard a time getting it to work. If someone could please explain what's going on it'd be appreciated.

Ze Spy25 Sep 2011Reply

Please disregard all of that, as is my luck I figured it out seconds after posting that message. To those having problems I recommend Isobuster and extracting the ISO file to your area of choice, then focus on running the patch properly. Once the patch is set up try the folder the patch created and look for the application itself. The game should work properly from there aside from the music, which has to be accessed through a different way that the patch explains. Hopefully this helps someone out.

ShiroYasha05 Oct 2011Reply

So how do I do this?
I've downloaded and extracted the file. I then used Isobuster to extract an iso file from the img file in the rar, but now what? When I mount it says it's corrupted or something and I can't access it
Do I have to re download?

RaitoDemonSakura12 Oct 2011Reply

For everyone who's having a hard time downloading this game: Download and Install Isobuster and the English Patch. Using Isobuster, go to File>Open Image File and open the file "Tsukihime.ccd" You should get something like CD/Session 1/Session 2/Track 11, etc. Extract the file named "TSUKIHIME" (It's after the word "ISO" in a red box) to your desktop. Install the english patch through the setup wizard. When it asks to locate "arc.sar," browse for it in the "TSUKIHIME" folder on your desktop (It's in the "TSUKIH~1" folder). Ta-da! Installed. As for the music, I'm working on that myself. I'll probably post later on.

Saru13 Oct 2011Reply

thank you soooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuch >___<

RaitoDemonSakura17 Oct 2011Reply

No problem. As for the music, just read part 7 of the README that pops up, and you'll be cool. Sucks that there is no voice acting, though. :(

jindo9016 Jan 2012Reply

How to you extract the music? I tried mount the Tsuki Hime.ccd and extract music files from it but no file was created. I am out of idea.
Please help.

Alucard23 Oct 2012Reply

This is the most classic game ever, u can't demand Voice's here... u should even be happy there is background sound althoguh =/ you really don't know who Type-Moon is do you?

This game is what made TYPE-MOON what it is today!

You Sir, got yourself an internet cookie right now.
I searched the interbewz in despair for WEEKS downloaded every single version and tried everything out (and got an amazing amout of viruses during that time), but no fucking person on the internetz posted in any forum i found that i actually have to open the ccd and not the img -_- i even tried to convert the img to iso (which failed miserably); therefor you are my hero. I don't think I'd ever be able to play this game without you.
Thank You.

shawn05 Sep 2012Reply

I extracted the Tsukihime folder to my desktop. The only problem is there is no Tsuki-1 folder in it. Is there any easier way to install Tsukihime?

geeksauce02 Nov 2012Reply

I'm not seeing the Tsukihime folder at all. Just Session 1 with 10 tracks and session 2 with track 11. No folders, or anything labeled Tsukihime. I'm not even seeing the red box... Help, please!

Veruz13 Oct 2011Reply

On the off-chance that our wonderful admin might read this ;)

Could we hope for an upload of Kagetsu Tohya (which can be considered a sequel)? I am really curious about it, and currently just fool around with Melty Blood since I cannot find it anywhere.

P.S.: Keep up the good work, admin. I've got countless good novels from this site and am looking forward to everything you post~

ren16 Oct 2011Reply

just to confirm,tsukihime vn dont have any voice for the characters,do they?

Taka18 Oct 2011Reply

admin, when will you upload kagetsu tohya? it is sort of sequel for tsukihime

Lee29 Oct 2011Reply

Both mirrors are not working for me, anyone mind uploading on another mirror?

Yoo10 Nov 2011Reply

How do i put the music ?? :/

Netsuki16 Nov 2011Reply

If you followed RaitoDemonSakura's advice, and have used Isobuster to install then I can help. Make sure you've installed in the same way as his instructions then read the Read Me file part 7. It will tell you to use CDex to extract the music off the disc. We obviously don't have a copy, so instead of that method, open the CCD file again in Isobuster. Click "Session 1" in the sidebar menu and you should see ten music files. Extract these to a folder; they will be WAV files upon initial extraction. Use any free audio converter to convert these to Ogg format, then move them to the "CD" folder the read me talks about. Run the game and voila.

Zellrang14 Dec 2011Reply

hey, I don't notice this before... but after I played it, I suddenly remembered an anime... I think this is one of the anime that I watch when I was a kid though I didn't remember the main heroine Arcueid but I do remember the twin maid though :3 this takes me back, seriously X3 hehe, thanks again for uploading this one admin... now I just remembered one of most favorite anime though I though I only remembered the first episode.... I think its the first episode? or did I watch the second episode...? arrgghh just forget it, what important is I did watch the anime and it got an interesting storyline and I bet the VN is better...

what makes me remember:
1.the breaking line*the stitches?*
2.wear glasses to dispel it, kinda

1wdv25 Sep 2012Reply

There is no Tsukihime anime. What you saw was probably just a poor fan made thing, or something like that.

TastesLikePurple15 Oct 2012Reply

Well, actually, there is. Shingetsutan/Lunar Legend Tsukihime, it came out in 2003/2004.

typemoonatic17 Nov 2012Reply

Its an internet meme...some fans don't acknowledge the existence of the anime because it fell extremely short of expectations.

dracosy03 Feb 2013Reply

so i must have dreamed it, since i saw the anime quite some time ago and last night i was talking with a friend about it(he must have dreamed it too).
Actually thats why i am here now downloading the game XDDDD.

Tj19 Dec 2011Reply

I just wanted to ask does this game contain nudity,so that my bro can play it too.... thanx...

Durlag29 Dec 2011Reply

This game is tagged 18+, so yeah. Also, if you have questions like that, check out the vndb entry of the game. Sexual-wise the game has the following tags there: Late Sexual Content, Low Sexual Content, Anal Sex, Long Sexual Scenes. although I haven't ever given a crap about this whole "inappropriate age" business, if it matters for you, then no, it'S not for your bro.

Sant02 Jan 2012Reply

Actually, it's possible to install the game without the ero-scenes through the installation, which should make it a bit more for all-ages. I'm not sure if it removes the explicit violence though.

fergrtgr15 Jan 2012Reply

lol what do u expect
this site is for eroge
and eroge has sex in it

Liam05 Jan 2012Reply

@Tj

This game contains nudity. The English patch even mentions it! The patch contains a feature to censor/disable the nudity stuff, though.

Yukka11 Jan 2012Reply

Yeah it has, I've already played it. As they said, try to disable it (:

Jjredster15 Jan 2012Reply
