This is the imgur link https://imgur.com/a/Gb5CrDG (I tested it out on incognito and the album seems fine on my end)

The link to get all servamp photos from the game is https://tanakabox.com/game/cafe/photo/1.jpg (replace the 1.jpg to numbers between 1-47)

hello I love your work and the help you give us for the Tanaka game and I wanted to ask you if you understood the new event in the Land of nod store which takes place at the same time as the halloween event thank you again for your work and your listening 😊😁

Hello and thank you for your kind words! You can find the Servamp Halloween Party guide here and here for the ending walkthroughs.

[howtoplaynod]

Hi! Maybe it's a dumb question, but is the Land of Nod canon? Like, for example, when it comes to event or is it like examples of how a character would react in certain situations? Thanks in advance :)

Hello! The programming, art and writing of the events are all done by tanaka strike, so (personally) character-wise I'd treat it as "canon" as the Sleepy of Life mangas or the drama CDs.

Maybe less so when it comes to events since there's dating sims, time loop shenanigans and meta self-awareness that they're inside a game (well tbf the drama CDs are SLS mangas do that too).

[howtoplaynod]

hey, I when I enter the game I can't see the shop anywhere even if I change the time, do you know why this happens?

If you're seeing this then yes the shop's gone "missing" from the map. maybe a new event's coming up? I mean we're two months away from main story timeline who knows 👀

if you wanna access the shop just for fun the direct link is https://tanakabox.com/game/nod/index.html

[howtoplaynod]

Oh, I didn't know there was anyone else answering the questions has anyone been able to call tsuruga's number yet? we have his phone number, but do we need to figure out his cipher somehow?

Oh the askbox is always open for questions about the game but I'm sorry I don't understand, there's only 3 available phone numbers in the game when you access the land of nod and it's Krantz, Syuhei and Yumikage

except you can't access the land of nod right now because there's a valentine's day event going on, so I'm not sure what you're referring to

[howtoplaynod]

How do I get the game

Through this website -> https://tanakabox.com/game/box.html

there's a valentine's day event going on that's a reprint of the 2021 event

[howtoplaynod]

How come the website is not reachable at the moment?

Site seems to be up at the moment. If you mean Mikuni’s shop, that’s because it disappears sometimes during ongoing events like new year’s/halloween’s etc

SERVAMP Halloween event (2021)

The SERVAMP HALLOWEEN Event is now live, with some changes. You can follow the guide here for all the normal party endings, including the bonus secret ending. 

The conversation options and the order of who to meet are still mostly the same with the guide above albeit easier, since you’ll see speech bubbles above their heads for prompts now, with the main difference being:

You can only obtain 1 party in 1 day. (after completing a party, for example Misono’s party, prompts starting other parties will not appear until a certain period of time)

There'll be a timer that looks like this ↑

As a general rule of thumb, make sure to usually have 20 cookies in your inventory. You can get cookies by talking to some people or clicking pumpkins, ghosts, or sloth on a broom or cat kuro running around the screen.

Last tip, don’t forget that you can also look “up” in the map. That’s where you usually find Tsurugi or Gear.

Okay last point

Complete party list (2021 version)

Happy Halloween!

[howtoplaynod]

through the Mirror, in the day (2021)

The yearly Mikuni birthday event is here, you can now play as Misono.

The puzzles are still the same, but there’s a lot of changes to the dialogue (’cause you’re playing as Misono lol) and the ending with Tsurugi changes too (again ‘cause you’re playing as Misono)

If you choose to play as the Player like the previous years, the Ending’ll be the same as the 2019 version.

Docxs for full guide here. Updated for the 2021 changes.

[Masterpost] SERVAMP - Land of Nod - White Day Event Translations

I know it’s waaaaaaayyyyy overdue at this point in time, but here is the masterpost for SERVAMP Land of Nod’s White Day Event~!!  Thank you to @katzkinder for commissioning me to translate them, and to @howtoplaynod​ for helping me get and compile all the routes! 

I really wish I could have finished it before March ended, but alas, too many things caught up with me that I couldn’t find much time until recently ^^;

Though, it was a blast working on it, as usual~! The boys and their antics are as wild as ever, but it is sweet and very cute to certain degrees~ I hope that everyone enjoys these as well! 

※ Please don’t re-post these translations without permission. Instead of reposting, please just like/reblog instead ^^

Feel free to re-translate them into your native language but please message me about it first. I also ask that you keep my credits as the English translator ^^

If some of the links stop working, please tell me so I can re-upload!

Masterlist under the cut, enjoy~!

Hi! Your about says you archive the Events etc. Is there any chance you've saved parts of the White Day Event's dialog? Jun's and Yumi's route in particular. I was trying to translate them and got everyone except those two, but I got interrupted by the Gear event halfway through Yumi's route.

Hi

Here’s the full list of routes for white day 2021

Google docs link: here

[howtoplaynod]

Is it possible to go back to special events? For example: Valentine Event 2019

The only event that you can replay is Mikuni’s birthday event, but you can only do this after purchasing the Book of Nod. All the other events can only be played when it’s being rerun.

[howtoplaynod]

through the Mirror, in the Day (2020)

Mikuni’s yearly puzzle event is back at it again.

Gameplay’s still the same as the previous 2 years

Ending is different again this year.

Mysterious item you get from clearing the event is still mysterious.

Anyone interested can look up this doc here for the walkthrough on how to solve the puzzles.

[Masterpost] SERVAMP Parallel Summer - All Endings

A huge, huge, huge thank you to @howtoplaynod​‘s very helpful guide to the endings in their doc here~! It definitely made playing so much easier and breezing through the endings definitely went better than when I was blindly playing through~! 

Here is the masterpost of the translations for the endings and sub-stories~! 

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find enough free time to play through a few more times before the event ended >< As such, I am missing Bad Endings 1 and 2 as well as sub-stories 8, 25, and 41 T^T  If anyone has a recorded playthrough or screenshots and would be willing to share, I’d be more than happy to translate the missing stories! 

For now, I hope that everyone enjoys reading through them as much as I enjoyed translating them, too~! Let’s continue supporting SERVAMP from here on as well as Strike-sensei releases more chapters~! 

Full list under the cut, enjoy~!

Keep reading

[howtoplaynod]

SERVAMP Summer Event 2020 - PARALLEL SUMMER!!

SUMMER EVENT! A full complete guide’ll be posted soon-ish. There’s over 40 side stories and 10 final endings (4 good endings and 6 bad) so it’ll take some time to write them all up, for now I’ll only cover the basics. Full guide in a google docs under the cut.

Link to game here. Spoilers ahead.

Keep reading

[howtoplaynod]

Sorry for the wait. I’ve updated the post with a full step-by-step guide on how to get Kuro, Misono, and Tsurugi’s endings here. (I did get the titles mixed up in the beginning, thank you anon for pointing that out, I’ve deleted it to not cause any further confusion <3) 

Eventually I’ll make a guide for all the episodes too in the doc, except for greed’s ending, ‘cause that’s been translated already by ryotakuntranslations here. 

[howtoplaynod]

Will this Tanaka Box be out in English? Or is there a way to make the parts that isn't in English readable? I'd love to play the game, but I feel like theres a lot that I'll end up missing.

Unless Tanaka Strike announces and english version then no I don’t think it’s happening anytime soon. 

Also I just realized this event’s pages can’t immediately be translated using a web browser’s google translate unlike the previous events so I’m sorry I can’t help you there..
