I discovered this previously unmentioned Japanese WG game by the author びーこん (bii-kon). It’s a short RPGMaker VN style game about cohabiting with your (thin) girlfriend for a year. It is a complete game with 4 stages and sprites. Unfortunately to the author’s own admission, its not the full featured version they wanted to make, missing some extra features.
Regardless, it’s a cute little romp and I’ve provided a quick (google quality) English translation patch below. I’ve made a few tweaks to the translation, but its still very rough.
To download, complete and open the provided URL in the tweet below (the Https part has a space in it) and use the password kon next to the download box.
Edit: Just use the file I’ve attached here as the original link is down.

To apply the patch, just open the zip file and drag the contents onto the root folder of the game. Let it overwrite a few files and you are done!
Enjoy!
EDIT: Looks like the original DL link is down. I’ve re-upped a pre-patched version, so no need to worry about translation files this time.
Also, this link isn’t permanent so grab while you can.
Translation is… serviceable, and the mechanics are basic.
But it’s still a short, fun little thing, and is really elevated by the cute art and the inclusion of a gallery and event replay at the end.
It is a real shame because I think this creator has gone dark. I went to check their social media the other day and it looks like they are wiping everything. I was really looking forward to their future work.
Try using something like .7zip to extract the files. It may preserve the Japanese characters properly. Or it might be a unicode issue with your computers region. Try looking online to determine the issue.
@Parnash I’m not sure why you are getting virus results. I’m assuming false positives. Do you get those for other RPGMaker games?
This is one of those very rare instances when I’m glad a thread was necro’d. I don’t think I ever played this when it was posted and it was pretty good!
for the average PC user follow these steps:
1.) open winrar
2.) press CRTL + E (in winrar)
3.) choose number 932 (Japanese) language
4.) choose to extract the downloaded file from the first post
5.) should properly convert file names to not break code now
