Lemma's Tales 1 (ToL1 remake, BxG)

Hi forumites! :D

In honor of the tenth anniversary of LSF, I am releasing a remake of Tales of Lemma 1. ToL1 was the first Lemma Soft game, back when "Lemma Soft" was just one dude (me) making his little games... back before the forum got big, back before Ren'Py.... There will be at least two games coming out this year that will reference this one, so play it so you can get the most out of those and to see where everything here began.

Get it here:

Bonus content! Secrets of Lemma Soft revealed!
Not stellar by today's standards, but hey. It was a decade ago, 'kay? ;)

(edit: I forgot to say in the game: credit to magi-san for the Lemma splashscreen character art! Will need to update credits... For you long-timers here who remember the Hanafuda Club demo, I'll say there's a special splashscreen easter egg identical to the one in that... Lemma won't give hints on how to find it though ;) )

When I follow the link, it brings me the other site, but clicking the download link gives me a connection error. Is the link broken at the moment?

Downloaded the remake. Thanks.

It wasn't all that long ago when there was a severe shortage of VNs that I could honestly recommend to other fans. There wasn't much beside a few poorly written Flash games, professional translations that I did not find appealing, and a few games that I was 98% sure were never going to be translated. Your willingness to release more than just a Lemmings clone has improved fandom considerably.

Oh, and while the Megatokyo forum is still active, it's rare to see a new post in the DS/VN section.

@red, azure, gekiganwing: Thanks for the kind words :)

This is one of those games that got lost in the flow of OELVN development. That's probably a good thing in a sense because it means things have come a long way since then ^^
Due to how everything unfolded and how without ToL1 there is possibly no Ren'Py (at the very least not until later) PyTom and I agree that without this game, the OELVN scene would be noticeably behind where it currently is in development. I guess one little game can make a difference, even if it's largely forgotten :)

I think the otome version of this would be Alistair++ since that seems to have really sparked interest in and development of otome games here.

@spideyk: Sounds like a problem with your connection or the Ren'Ai Archive server... Have you tried it from a different computer?

Ahhh, finally got around to playing this a while ago! I loved it ;A; It was fun to see this bit of Lemmasoft history remade since I only joined this forum a little over a year ago and have been unsuccessful in my attempts to find the original Tales of Lemma game.... OTL
I liked how you could "change" the protag's personality. He's a little mean when you take the pervy route, but it was still fun to play through xD And the mushroom battle surprised me! I felt so happy as I was fighting the mushrooms though because I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE REFERENCE IN THE GUESTBOOK THREAD!!!!!! /proud xD Sorry for the caps!!
How many endings are there? I think I've managed to get two different ones?? /fuzzymemory

Ah, how didn't I notice this before, I've been waiting for it for ages! >.<

Anyway, played it again, it's still great, awesome job~

It's nice to remember about the old times and see how little things like that change so much. This is history!

I loved the scene right after the giant mushrooms battle. They're just so chill about it.

"We just fought giant mushrooms. That's kinda weird."
"Yeah."

That's it. That's all the explanation there is. Awesome.
