I've been feeling super nostalgic with togainu's stage play going on right now and chiral's 20th anniversary. @suzuran777 has this amazing post about nitro chiral's april fools games through the years. The breakout game from 2015 mentioned there is actually preserved by @hibonbl-scans and still playable; post here. Which made me wonder whether I could do the same for the Shunga game from 2016; and I'm happy to share that I was able to retrieve the flash file through waybackmachine 🥳 you can download it here. I added a spoiler folder with the pngs if anyone only wants the art
To play the game, you need a flashplayer. I personally used flashpoint archive's flash-32. Drag the game to the flashplayer and if it doesn't automatically start, do a right click and press play. Enjoy!
RUCHI: “Hah, this guy’s totally exposed on this side. Now to just go around, and… die, asshole!”
*Pow!*
Viewer A: “Whoa, actually goated!? You’ve got like god-level aim.”
Viewer B: “Nah, we’ve gotta start calling it RUCHI-level aim.”
RUCHI: “I mean, obviously.”
RUCHI: “Sick, that kill counted. GGs~.”
Viewer C: “GG! You completely wiped the floor with them.”
RUCHI: “‘Course I did. Anyway, looks like we’re right on schedule and at a good place to stop, so I think I’m gonna wrap it up here.”
RUCHI: “I’ll probs stream after the next update~. The new area looks pretty interesting, so I’m thinking about trying a challenge run for the first time in a while.”
Viewer D: “Aw~, you’re done already? C’mon, just one more round!”
Viewer A: “Yeah, extend stream!”
Viewer E: “Exte~nd! Exte~nd!”
RUCHI: “Lmao, what is that, an extension chant? Just chill, guys. I’d love to keep playing just a bit longer, but—.”

*Door opens*
Itaru: GG. Sorry, I’m a bit late.
Sakuya: Good work, Itaru-san!
Tsuzuru: Gaming?
Chikage: When is he not gaming?
Citron: Gaming is his phony option.
Masumi: Only.
Itaru: Wow, what’s with the me shade, lmao. But yeah, I was gaming.
Itaru: She’s my one and only babygirl, so— Oh, why don’t we all play together next time? Like a party game, or something.
Masumi: Pass.
Chikage: If I feel like it.
Citron: Sakuya and I will always do things together! And Tsuzuru too!
Tsuzuru: Why am I just the bonus…
Sakuya: Umm, if you don’t mind me being bad, then I’m down anytime…!
Itaru: Ahaha, thanks.
Itaru: …By the way, what about President-san? We’re supposed to have one of our regular meetings instead of a lesson today, right?
Sakuya: It seems like FUYNEE’s meeting is running a bit over time, so the president and Isuke-san are gonna be a bit late.
Chikage: It seems like they’re busier than ever.
Masumi: I heard that since they released their new song, the number of offers they’re getting has gone through the roof, not just for the individual members, but for the group as a whole.
Sakuya: Their performance at the sports challenge the other day was fantastic!
Tsuzuru: Even though each of them brought their own unique personalities to the performance, they were all perfectly in sync, and both the atmosphere and the harmony were great.
Itaru: Yeah, I watched it a bit later. It was beautiful. I get why everyone was talking about Hisoka and Homare’s performance now. It was really moving.
Citron: It is going to be our turn next. I am eggcited!
Sakuya: I can’t wait, but I’m also a little nervous.
Chikage: I wonder what our assignment will be.
Citron: Perhaps it will be that we must all work together to create a legendary multi-course meal!
Tsuzuru: Yeah, I don’t think so.
Masumi: No matter what it is, I’ll give it my all on any assignments she gives me.
Itaru: Well, as long as it sounds easy, it’s fine by me.
I was wondering if you knew in which FP drama track does Gentaro pretend to be Dice's wife ??? If it even is in a drama track at all haha~ I just vividly remembered the scene from the manga and I NEED to hear Saito Soma voice acting that part (if it's actually a thing)
HAVE A GREAT DAYYYYY !!!
Dice's wife...
I'm racking my brains, and I can't think of any instances where he outright calls himself Dice's wife.
He jokes about being reincarnated lovers who could not be wedded in Know Your Enemy side FP vs M.
He jokingly flirts with Dice as a vaguely courtesan-y, old-fashioned female figure in Me Against the World.
He also pretends to be a humble flower maker who, due to the Dice-like baby he's carrying, presumably copulated with someone equally Dice-like at one point in the background of this manga oneshot, but I'm not sure if that was something the manga artist added herself or if there was recently was some precedent in its corresponding drama track. That drama track is one of the bonuses that came from buying a limited-edition physical copy of the manga (which I never do, so I generally don't listen to them). Looking at the wiki's list of tracks, I think it's Side F.P & M Bonus Drama Track 2...? I do not know where you would find this one/a translation for this one, as even I'm having some trouble turning anything up.
Honestly, I'm laughing at this last image because he looks like one an ad for one of those very shitty free-to-play mobile games about being a woman with two kids escaping from absurd levels of poverty. Gossip Harbor-ass Gentarou.
