About The Hole Town
A super short visual novel based on the original poem by imayui.
In Japan, it was released in 2014 as a way of telling stories and poems online.
Just like a visual novel, you read through the story.
Fancy opening BGM and simple animated illustration.
It is a short story that ends within 2 or 3 minutes, and you can enjoy a strange sense of the extraordinary.

In the hole, the whole town is contain!2 found this helpful
Very short visual novel (length: 2-3 minutes), with nice voice acting. It's possible to change audio language from English to Japanese, find out how in this guide I made: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=32889033201 found this helpful
Very short and I liked it! The atmosphere and style is really nice and I hope that the creator possibly builds off of it more and makes a full game out of the concept of the poem! It would be really fun to explore other towns in the different holes and such!
Hi, I liked your game and it was short so I just wrote a german translation for it. Feel free to use it or not :') I didn't really know how and where to contact you and I don't have a twitter account so I decided to post it here. german translation>> Die Loch-Stadt • Auf dem sich unendlich erstreckenden Flachland, • Liegen viele Löcher in verschiedenen Größen... • Die Stadt im Loch • Die Löcher waren kein Zuhause für Leute, • Wenn ich hineinschaute... • Die Stadt im Loch • Unter dem Loch, • liegt eine ganze Stadt. • Nebeneinander aufgereihte Häuser, • Ich sehe eine Schule, eine Kirche, • und fahrende Autos, • In den Feldern sehe ich kleine Ameisen-ähnliche Schatten von Leuten arbeiten. • Egal in welches Loch ich schaue, • Jede Stadt ist unterschiedlich aber, • Alles ist in diesem Loch beinhaltet. • Das Loch ist nicht groß genug, dass es eine Person betreten kann, • Ich kann in keine Stadt hinuntersteigen, • Egal wie weit ich auf der langen, flachen Oberfläche laufe, • Alles was ich tun kann, ist durch die Löcher schauen.
A tiny, microscopic even, visual novel without any choices. Cute, like a picture book for kids. It's free and takes literally ~2 minutes to finish. [spoiler]Objectively:[/spoiler] 7/10
Not recommended as a game. This is a one minute story about towns in holes. It's a bit strange, which is fine, but the whole thing could have been a one minute video.
