Utawarerumono

Suffering from a fatal wound, you have lost your memories and were taken back to Eruru’s village. The villagers not only gave you a place to stay, but also a new identity, Hakuoro.

To return their kindness, you helped them by farming and harvesting crops and doing small favours.

However this tiny north eastern village is under the iron clad rule of a difficult daimyo. This greedy person wants to take all of the crops you have worked so hard to harvest as taxes. Rescue the kind people who have looked after you and rise against the lord.

Utawarerumono voice patch

Alright, so I installed everything and the game works fine. Luckily I've done this kind of thing before so there weren't any problems. However I downloaded the voice patch and threw it in the folder the game was installed in. Usually that sort of thing works, but for some reason I load up the game and there's no voices.

I'd like some feedback on what exactly I did wrong. The voice patch is the only reason I downloaded this for a second time, so if I can't get it to work there's no point.

admin15 Jul 2011Reply

did you start new game after installing patch?
and you need to start game with different .exe to enable voices. old shortcuts don't work.

Generaly voices add a lot of depth to this game so i really recommend playing it with patch.

TheDude15 Jul 2011Reply

It's a fresh install. All my previous data had been deleted, but yes I did start a new game. Looking at my folder there's only one .exe in there. The utaware-dvd.exe. The game itself works perfectly normal, it's just that the voices aren't there. To my knowledge there's no other folder that I could put the voice file in, because the only other folder is the cursor data. Frankly I'm stumped lol.

admin15 Jul 2011Reply

You probably didn't install voice patch then (only copied over voices) - you're supposed to start the game with utaware-voice.exe

TheDude15 Jul 2011Reply

Okay, I figured out my problem. I stupidly forgot to download the .rar with the other .exe file in it. I guess I thought it would be included with the 5 part voice pack or something. It's working fine now, thanks for the quick replies.

Thanks very much for the upload. I have been playing this game after downloading but when I got in a part the game crashes. am using Windows XP and I even tried the Benchmark test and it gives of good marks. Can you tell me what did I do wrong? or how can I fix it?

falconpunch26 Jul 2011Reply

plz relpy as soon as possible.
ok i downloaded all the parts but when i unzip it it comes up with utarerumono_dvd so i put it in daemon tools.ok when i click setup.exe its in japanese. do i need to put english patch in files when i open up daemon tools or never?

admin26 Jul 2011Reply

No. just mount the game, then start english patch - it works as installer too.

yusaku18 Aug 2011Reply

1-mount the game
2-start english patch (which one? utawarerumono_voice_patch_v1.1.exe or utaware_voice.exe)
3-what do I do with UTSOUND.SFS and the voice patch v1.1?

yusaku18 Aug 2011Reply

Nevermind...things managed to work out somehow.
The game keeps saying "Please insert Utawarerumono DVD", so is there any way to play the game without keeping the ISO file mounted because I need to delete the ISO file to get more space on my HD =.="

Max19 Aug 2011Reply

apologies, but I am not that literate in computers. I have demon tools lite. How do you mount the five files? Selecting all did not help.

admin19 Aug 2011Reply

Firstly change your locale to japanese ( refer to FAQ section of website for instructions). Second - unpack those files, using winrar or similar utility - with winrar you just need to right click first part and select "extract here" - it will open following parts automatically; You'll get single UTAWA_DVD.iso file. Thirdly - mount that dvd image ( refer to FAQ again)

nikolas27 Aug 2011Reply

with the voice patch in the part where aruru is saying"erunga" (lol)the game collapse and i dont know what to do?

BrownBeta28 Aug 2011Reply

ZZZ i have the same problem as nik where it crashes at erunga -.- is it b/c of the english patch and is there a way to bypasss it?

Eureka_702 Sep 2011Reply

I had that problem too. To bypass that 1 voiced line that crashes the game, save before it.. then open the game without voices (the original english launcher), open your saved game, go past that Erunga line (and a few more for good measure), then save.. exit.. and reload the voiced launcher :)

Eureka_702 Sep 2011Reply

Awesome game, especially with the PS2 voice patch added. (shame there are no voices for the H scenes, but meh).

I'm so disappointed that nothing happens with one of the characters though... she was my favourite by far.

kenshin549113 Sep 2011Reply

Does anyone have a "no CD patch" that works, or has it not been released yet?

death1418 Sep 2011Reply

this game has multiple girls to pick ?
like Clannad?

admin18 Sep 2011Reply

No, the story is linear - only one ending.

death1419 Sep 2011Reply

is there any eroge like this has multiple ending?
Tears of tiara ? one ending also?....hmmmm

admin19 Sep 2011Reply

Castle Fantasia 2.

Risax28 Sep 2011Reply

I've downloaded everything, the game, english patch and voice patch. The game has been amazing! Great characters, story and dialogue.

There are funny moments, moments that made me go awww... And some that almost made me cry...

Anyway, I'm going back to playing now...
Thanks for suggesting the game to me admin!

Risax29 Sep 2011Reply

Just finished the game.

And even though they wrapped the story up pretty nicely, I just want a damn sequel!

Anyway, this has to be the Eroge with the best story and the most likeable characters. Not one of your companions were annoying in my opinion, usually there is at least one side character or companion I hate, but not in Utawarerumono.

admin29 Sep 2011Reply

Sequel is currently being made in Japan. No ETA on release yet.

Risax30 Sep 2011Reply

What!
How do you know!
That´s amazing, almost better news than Skyrim being released!

Well, I hope that you release it on the website as soon as someone translates it. (Let´s hope someone does.)

Jeffrey02 Oct 2011Reply

Jeffrey02 Oct 2011Reply

idownloaded this before but lost it when computer crashed
please help anyone

Jeffrey05 Oct 2011Reply

sorry nevermind i found out how to get the game to work

Sasuke10 Oct 2011Reply

Really? I had the very same problem but I can't figure it out. Can you tell me what you did? Please respond I really want to play this game.

Jeffrey16 Oct 2011Reply

download deamon tools lite and mount the mds? file, the bigger file when extracting the parts and then run might have to run as administerator but it should happen automatically

Tig 'ol bitties11 Oct 2011Reply

Okay, so I downloaded parts 1-5, tried extracting and it says the volumes are corrupted. Are the download's interchangable between the two sites? :/

admin11 Oct 2011Reply

yes, they are.

xaotik111 Oct 2011Reply

Overall, a decent game. I would have liked multiple endings, but I can't complain about the one ending I did get :) A good involved story with plenty of things going on to keep it interesting from start to finish. Few H scenes, but I like the fact that they weren't just gratuitous fan service just tossed in randomly. I personally don't have any problems having to work at getting to them since the game was entertaining even without. 4 of 5 on this one.

dizasian13 Oct 2011Reply

I have a question is this game looks similar to senkgou rance? And also i downloaded it installed it and got error while installing it. And redownload the same file and still got same result..

the voices stop on karura's sex scene is this normal?

Jeffrey16 Oct 2011Reply

the music is still going and sound effects is also not working

admin16 Oct 2011Reply

Voices were pulled off from PS2 version, which is all-ages - i.e. no sex scenes. Once scene is over they'll return.

Tig 'ol bitties16 Oct 2011Reply

Admin, I read your suggestion for this game on the comments of another game, and just finished beating it. One of the greatest VN's I have ever play/read. Thank you!

Tig 'ol bitties16 Oct 2011Reply

Also, do you have any other recommendations? On here or to purchase (Preferably with translations available)

admin16 Oct 2011Reply

It's hard to recommend something if you didn't give out what are you looking for.
Personally i'd recommend "G-senjou no maou" and "Sharin no Kuni". "ef" is very nice too.

Krow20 Oct 2011Reply

This is quite a nice game, thanks.

But it kinda crashes right after every save. Luckily it still saves the data.

Jap locale is on, and using the voice patch. Same thing when run as administrator. Any ideas? Not much of a problem since I can run it again and load back though... Thanks.

Teska22 Oct 2011Reply

Yea I am also having the same problem. I am running windows 7 and i have tried to run as admin put the folder in the C drive and also tried to run game under windows XP (SP3). Nothing seems to stop the game from crashing whenever I save. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Zorker01 Nov 2011Reply

got the same problem here any idea of what's causing it?

heboracer04 Nov 2011Reply

hey guys,

I have a question. How can I get the last 2 pictures in the art appreciation????

thx for answering.

admin04 Nov 2011Reply

You need to play on higher difficulty ("hard 3" as far as i remember)

Hiryuu11 Nov 2011Reply

RE: Install: Running Win 7 64 Ult (with Jap. language installed) and had a really hard time installng it. Tied Applocal, tried changing regions - nothing. I still had ??? in boxes either way.

What FINALLY worked for me was to unpack the files, burn the DVD AS IS, then run the Eng patch as Admin (Win 7/Vista). Then install the voice patch per instructions and you should be good. Win 7/Vista owners should install in a created "C:/Games" folder, not Programs/Programs (X86), just like every other game. I did, however, have the same "crash after every save" problem as mentioned above.

Story was good & harem not loli centric (plus for me), but the ending IMO was kind of meh. Combat was fun, though I never could get the "ultimate" attacks to work. Overall, I'd say roughly equal/a little better than Tears to Tiara & Princess Waltz.

Finally - THANK YOU to Admin for this great site.

DeloreanFanatic14 Nov 2011Reply

Admin, thanks so much for this game!! Saw the anime a long time ago and fell in love with it! I had no idea it was a VN too! Interesting to have the main character voiced for once lol.
Thanks again!!

Tymon09 Dec 2011Reply

Great game though... I was really disappointed at the ending... I won't spoil it for anyone, but I really REALLY did not like the way this thing ended.
