Megami no Etsubo

Fast forward a few centuries and the spirit of Hekiwaro has been released from his burial spot by two comics spitting lines and a bolt of lightning from above. With a claw from below lifting him out of his crypt, Hekiwaro with his protruding belly button haunts the Earth once again. Soon afterwards, the spiky-haired and very old looking God of Laughter emerges from his shrine and literally bumps heads with the two comics. A short tutorial commences where the techniques of virtual comics are shown and demonstrated. The two hipster comics are charged with sealing Hekiwaro's apparition underneath the boulder again by way of comical dialogue, colorful banter, and Three Stooges-like violence. Create a slap happy routine and step on a stage in front of an audience and ham it up to make the people laugh. If you succeed and entertain the rabble with proper comedic timing, spot-on dialogue, and perfectly executed slaps, you're one step closer to discovering the ways and means of burying Hekiwaro. Routines are executed by pressing three buttons (X, SQUARE, TRIANGLE) to trigger actions in your choreographed session.

After conquering one crowd, it's off to the next venue on the map (well, they're actually shrines) to tickle the audience's fancies. If you flop and the crowd responds like the living dead, you and your partner might just end up under a boulder yourselves. A tutorial mode teaches gamers the routine of comedy. Invoke Benten, the goddess of entertainment and hope she smiles on your routine.
