I know a lot of people indicated they were trying to track down the game, so if you want to play along at home - and especially if you're on a MacBook - here are Jenn's instructions for getting Cosmology of Kyoto to run:.

Cosmology of Kyoto is better described as an interactive story that lets you interact with the game world at your leisure, similar to choose-your-own-adventure books.
And what a world it is.
The designers spare no pretense, no illusion that this is a "politically correct" or "family" game.

What makes Cosmology of Kyoto truly remarkable is that as you enter the town and interact with its inhabitants, you have only two choices.
You can, in your arrogance, remain as you are, a contemporary Japanese or American, for example.
And you won't get very far.
