Well sure!

The event was on Saturday (the 1st) in Sendai, and is one of a few joint promotional events that Innocent Grey and Liar-soft have been putting on for their new games. The other events were in Tokyo and Osaka, but this one was in Sendai. I was taking the JLPT in Morioka (the next big city over) this weekend anyhow, so the timing was absolutely perfect.

It was a free event, but to get in you had to have reserved a copy of Gahkthun and/or KnS 2. I'd already done that long ago, so I showed up at the store, printout of my preorder in hand, and browsed around while I waited.

The store is about the size of a closet with really close-together shelves and all kinds of stuff packed in there, and the effect was nice, like you were browsing through someone's eroge-crammed finished basement. I'd call it the most welcoming game shop I've ever been in in Japan. They also had a small doujin section, which had some games and some books but was like 60% Okujou no Yurirei-san doujinshi.

They'd made little displays here and there for big new games that were coming out; all were quite nice, but the Gahkthun one was AWESOME. One of the staff members apparently constructed a 3D model of Tesla's cybernetic glove thing, complete with a running clock in the center knuckle and blue lights in it that flickered off and on. Below that was a screen playing the promo OP, and hanging above were big portraits of the student council members with a panel of (handpainted I think) gold and silver gears. Fucking amazing, I want a portable version of this shrine for my house.

(Also that Sharnoth FV promo poster they have up on the wall there, holy shit.)
