Haikuna

Haikuna is a 3D word search game set in three classic books of the West: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Don Quixote. Players search these stories for translated poems written variously during the Nanbokucho, Edo, Genroku, and Meji periods of Japan*. Magic is enabled by clearing the current map of visible yōkai, and more magic options become available as the player advances. Hidden yōkai, like the minogame, must be avoided or the player faces temporal distortions that inhibit game play. Hidden yōkai start to show up after the players complete several levels, and clicking on any word that is not a haiku word runs the risk of encountering them. Clicking on the Help symbol in the upper right (?) during the game will bring up a dialog of information and a dropdown control within it that can be used to switch between topics. Several aspects of the game can be toggled on or off, depending on player preference. Players should click on the gear icon in the upper right to access these options: Dark (default: on) - Render the game in dark theme Music (default: on) - Play with soundtrack Effects (default: on) - Play sound effects Voice (default: on) - Play vocal utterances Background (default: on) - Display Japanese words in the background Easy (default: off) - Greatly reduce the number of yōkai in upper levels Lightning (default: on) - Perform the "lightning" flash effect Timer (default: on) - Display time elapsed during game play Tooltips (default: on) - Show hints when hovering over certain user interface elements
