I like to think I’m a pretty smart guy. Okay, I consider myself math-challenged, but that’s because of a traumatic incident during my youth involving a nun, some flashcards, and a ferret¹. Despite the language barrier I can usually figure out what’s going on in a Japanese region. Not so with Invast.
Okay, there’s this nice looking Stonehenge, see? A beam of light shines down from the flying orb (I guess the spaceship dealer was out of saucers). A hangar with little flying saucers (ah, there they are!) is nearby. And there’s this little guy and his companions, and they… I just don’t know.
Whoever they are, they make nice crop circles, though.
Up in the spaceship, though… I just don’t get it. Upstairs you and a companion downstairs can play Othello. Downstairs you can engage in some sort of quest. This is where I get confused… you stand in front of these aliens, click one, and end up somewhere else. I’m not sure if that’s part of the quest or if I’ve insulted the aliens in some way. Maybe being clicked on offends them.
I’m sure this would be a lot of fun if I only understood what it was. I still don’t have a clue what Invast is, or does. I’m not going to be too hard on them because there’s plenty of information there in Japanese and I’m not the target audience. It’s just a little frustrating to find something like this and not be able to make heads or tails of it.
Meanwhile, I decided to visit the Pocky region while I was nearby. Except the Pocky region is gone. When I found out a little part of me died inside. A chocolaty part.

¹ Okay, I lied about the ferret. And the nun.
so….the feret is for another post? I *know* there’s a story there…….
I can tell you a story. It won’t be true, but it will be entertaining…
Sad, sad day to learn Pocky is gone
Tell man, tell!
Now that I think of it, I shouldn’t… this is a PG blog, mostly.
Poor ferret… what a grizzly end…
