About
This website starts being cute and normal, but when the player clicks the cat girl image with the site's logo, the player is redirected to the same site, but now it has a black background and a picture of a woman staring at the viewer accompanied by eerie ambiance playing in the background. When the player clicks on the image, a naked gray-skinned woman with long black hair will pop up and crawl towards the camera along with a scream/moan.
This site strangely contains a story, and when the player goes deeply to it, the player will fight the final boss and finally complete the "game". There are a lot of puzzles, mazes and different screamers on the website, mostly are totally unexpected. The game story is basically about heavy themes like paranoia, suicidal thoughts, and depression. It can be listed as "Utsu ge" (Utsu ge means "depressing game". The purpose of these types of games is to depress the player) or just as a typical horror game. Even if the site has screamers, it can also be considered as a (horror) puzzle game since every part of the site has a puzzle.
On the famous Japanese video-sharing website Nico Nico Douga, Fancy Island/Lomando became an internet meme and is frequently used as a source in MAD videos(otoMAD/MAD videos are basically the japanese YTPMV), there are lots of fanarts of it on Pixiv too.
Site content
As mentioned earlier, before clicking on Mimi's photo, the site is just cute and normal. In addition, the site also has a panel just to introduce the "characters" from the game. Its design can change during New Year and Christmas, and the player can get a special event on the same day. However, it may seem harmless from the start, but there's actually some easter eggs on it. Those will be listed below.
- If the player presses "skip" too many times on the character panel, a screamer will appear. The character description will be replaced with only "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and the panel will turn black. Also, instead of a character picture, it will be an eye staring at the viewer along with a loud laugh.
- (CHRISTMAS EVENT ONLY) During Christmas, if the player clicks on the Santa Claus picture below the site, the player will be redirected to a flash animation. A Santa Claus saying "Ho ho ho! I will give a present for such good kid like you too!" and then the Santa Claus get distorted and a red ball goes to the camera. After this, a compilation of screamers appears while the scream is singing Jingle Bells.
- (NEW YEAR EVENT ONLY) During new year, if the player clicks on the Mimi with a yukata below the site, the player will be redirected to another flash animation. Mimi is in a sanctuary while dressing a yukata, and tells that she will read the player's new year fortune if the player puts their donation in the box. After the player clicks on the box, Mimi will shake the cup and there will be two results: one is bad luck and one is good luck. If the player got good luck (white paper), nothing happens and the player can try again. However, if the player got bad luck (black paper), lots of screamers will pop up and after it, the player will be redirected to the "dark side" of the website.
And finally, if the player clicks on Mimi's picture, the player will be redirected to the "game". There is a list of every consequence for clicking on the buttons below the black-haired woman.
あｓぢｌんｈｃｋｊｄさ (Elizabeth)
Six bloody and grinning masks appear while a loud laugh is playing in a loop. Clicking on one mask will result in at least one screamer, so be careful.
- Akeru (First mask): Just a red-colored text that has no meaning at all because it is only made of Unicode codes. Two words of the text are highlighted in a darker red, which will redirect the player to another page. The first link is called "Picture matching door" (絵合わせ扉, lit. Eawase tobira), which is just a part of the game's puzzle. There's a door that each image of a doll has a different color. The second link is called ｲchi兎、ﾆﾎﾈ。松ﾑ煤, no meaning at all.
- Konkon (Second mask): Screamer. A black-haired woman constantly banging in high speed on the player's screen. "Konkon" (コンコン) is a Japanese onomatopoeia for "bang-bang", "tap-tap" or "knock-knock".
- Utsuru (Third mask): Has a screamer. A camera watching a room, and the time of the recording is the same as the clock on the player's computer. However, at 12:00 AM, an eyeless girl with her mouth open, the left side of her face practically melted, and a scar on the right side of her face shows up on the screen.
- Ydad (Fourth mask): Has a screamer and flashing colors. There are two doors and some babies with no mouths being flipped while changing colors from blue, yellow, red and green at a seizure-inducing rate. Moving the cursor on the baby at bottom center will result in a baby with empty eye sockets with blood streams popping up, laughing.
- Psycho (Left door): Has a screamer. The light will follow the player's mouse and, there are many doors that move in random directions. Opening a door with no door in it will result in a distorted woman face to pop up and fly across the scream with a short screech. Every time a door is opened, the player's flashlight's battery will decrease. However, if a door is opened and has a door in it, clicking on it will take the player to a page with a red background and a YouTube video that is 0:26 minutes, titled "カメラが捉えた 恐怖の心霊映像" (lit. "Fear psychic images captured by the camera") . Once played, the video starts with an empty interior of a passenger train. A ghost briefly appears and disappears, crawling through the screen. Static appears for a brief moment, then the ghost appears crawling out of the YouTube video and screams, thus leading the player back to the main page. NOTE: The player cannot actually pause, mute, buffer, nor set the video on fullscreen, as the video itself is not an actual YouTube video. The player also cannot change the volume of it either.
- Shoko (Right door): A room with two bookshelves and a door at the center with the plate that reads "GALLERY" is shown. Clicking on the door will supposedly walk the player to there, but then the player would step on a trap and fall through it, thus getting impaled by the spikes.
- Oiaaeptoiympe (Fifth mask): Has a screamer. A door where the player has to put a correct 5 digits code on it. If the player does too many attempts, a Healthy version of the character "dorodo" (not yet in the gallery) fills the screen along with a loud scream. It actually isn't part of the game's puzzle and it's just a red herring. The correct code for this is "→←↓↓↑".
- Curse (Sixth mask): Has a screamer. Trigger warning: Suicide themes. An upside-down distorted character "purapura" (who appears to resemble Jeff the Killer) appears accompanied by a distorted signal loop with text upside-down that reads "NOTICE: This voice signal is a signal especially made for quality control. (It is not abnormal)" (お知らせ: この音声信号は品箕理用の信号であります。(異常ではありません)) If the player clicks on the image 45 times, it will become more distorted and the player will be redirected to a screamer. A black page with a text about suicide appears and when it finishes, lots of Windows popups appear reading "If you want to be saved, then die..." (助かりたいなら死ね・・・) repeatedly, and then a black-haired ghost appears screaming while he brings his hands to the screen. The text before the screamer appears reads as follows:
My constant self-hatred makes me feel nauseous
If everyday I could compensate my 100% depression into 1% happiness...
Then living that day-by-day for more ten of thousands years could be good
Because I want to end every second of my pain
If living is nothing but unreasonable
Then I started to think that it's reasonable to die
To compete with people who want to die, to make problems, to have the necessity to take responsability, you don't need to worry about any of these anymore
Before death's eyes, everything about being alive is meaningless
For people that live helplessly, the meaning of "being dead is better" will make everything end
If you want to be saved, then die...
If you want to be saved, then die...
If you want to be saved, then die...
If you want to be saved, then die...
If you want to be saved, then die...
If you want to be saved, then die...
自己嫌悪の連続で吐き気がする
１００の憂鬱を１の幸福で補う毎日
こんな毎日をあと何万日生きたらいい
数秒の苦痛で終わらせたい
生きていると理不尽なことばかり
だから死ぬことが合理的だと思ってしまう
死ねば人と競争することも苦労することも責任を負う必要も悩む必要もない
死を目の前に生きている全てのことは無意味よ
仕方なく生きている人にとって死ねはいい意味で全てが終わる
助かりたいなら死ね・・・
助かりたいなら死ね・・・
助かりたいなら死ね・・・
助かりたいなら死ね・・・
助かりたいなら死ね・・・
助かりたいなら死ね・・・
助かりたいなら死ね・・・
助かりたいなら死ね・・・
ｃｓづあぽい。ゎおいぐｖ(Chaos)
Some red windows popups moving on the screen while one is still, the pictures are also moving. The background is red with some algaes on it. Clicking on one of these pictures will also result in at least one screamer.
- eye (Blinking blue eye): Has a screamer. A red-colored text appears that reads: "† Voes ne roeiz † Hone kousen de veiuw oss, Yea joen ve reiso … Kazenu oudesu je teo. Lunio sa bietex … Yovari sare omgass heliz de deaoth ! … Sia orev "Oude hyunn syou de quesev je lunedix !" Obenu ouss re teven. Oupos soi raen 20% vasaiz… Vois ord je viex kogea delatte ou jute roela…", the text has no meaning since its language is still unknown. On the left and on the right there's a doll with her guts showing, and below the text there's a red eye constantly blinking. Clicking on it will redirect the player to a page called "Yukan Boy's room" (also called as "yanyanyanyahn") and there's a YouTube video on it, and clicking on the video will result in a ghost crawling towards the camera and breaks the screen. If the player clicks on the broken screen, it will redirect the player to another page with another video, the correct answers are "あなたのうしろにいる" (lit. It's behind you) in the Japanese version, and "159422893159" in the English version. It is a part of the game's puzzle and it's not a red herring. After putting the correct answer, the player can enter a door, but it will have a screamer firstly and then another door appears.
- 9gu0omn0obyea (A black heart beating): Screamer. A black corridor with a black door at the end. If the player clicks on the door, a grinning ghost attacks the player with a knife and kills them. The player will be later redirected again to the website.
- Nikki (Fancy Island Jornal): Has a screamer. Trigger warning: Suicide themes. It is also called "Manager's Diary". It is a diary about a depressed person, who is probably Lomando's site manager himself. The diary express how he struggles to live and also about his crippling sadness. When the player is redirected from a screamer to this page, it won't be called as "Manager's Diary" but as "fake diary". Every page of the diary reads below:
January 26, 2012 The dolls that are decorating my house are scary...
二○十二年 一月二六日
家に飾ってある人形が怖い…January 29, 2012 No, it's nothing.
二○十二年 一月二九日
いえ、なんでもないのですよ。February 01, 2012 I was suddenly born so I live as if I had no choice.
二○十二年 二月一日
生まれてしまったので仕方なく生きてます。September 17, 2012 I wonder if there's something funny. There isn't, right? For people who have a grudge against society and don't catch its funny things, a purpose in life won't come.
二○十二年 九月十七日
何か面白いことないかな。
ないよね。
社会を恨み面白いことをキャッチしようとしない人間に
生き甲斐はやってこない。
[SCREAMER WARNING]
This page contains a screamer. After a few seconds, a brown wrinkled face appears
along with a scream.
September 18, 2012
How can I put it, isn't stupid to be alive?
Do you want to live just by cutting your body and struggling with your problems?
Are you waiting for such good life to be sent to you?
For such good incident to have happened in my life...
I started to think that seems like happiness is just temporarily
After all, won't all the risk from behind come back anyways?
No matter what happens, in the end I will get stuck with more troubles.
As I do my best to get something
And after I get this "something"...
Then this time this "something" is going to afflict more troubles on me.
Such things like "other people" to me after all are just cute.
When I'm thinking about my status for my sake only, everyone is moving.
To save me, to be kind to be...these are just for the sake of their self-satisfaction.
That's why I'm just afraid to get at least a friend.
While I feel the surroundings of a large crowd of people having complex thoughts and carrying their values...
I thought, "how much time I could live a life that's not even very interesting?"
No matter how many times I try to stay alive, the stress makes me feel exhausted, and in the end it grows more at the point that I've become sick.
And then, the family that I trusted the most carelessly died.

なんていうかさ、生きてるのって馬鹿みたいじゃない？
身を削って苦労してまで生きたい人生なの？
そんなに楽しい人生送ってる？
人生における素敵な出来事なんて
幸せだと思えるのはほんの一時だけで
結局全部後からリスクがくっ付いて回るじゃん？
何が起こっても最終的には苦労する羽目になる。
何かを手に入れる為に頑張って
その何かを手に入れたとして
今度はその何かに悩まされ苦労する。
他人なんて結局は自分が可愛い。
自分のステータスの為だけのことを考えてみんな動いてる。
助けたり優しくするのは自己満足のため。
仲間を欲しがるのは一人が恐いから。
複雑で様々な思考・価値観を持つ大勢の人間の視線を周囲に感じながら
大して面白くもない人生を何十年も生きれる？
生きれば生きるほどストレスを溜め疲弊して荒んで最後は病気になり

ああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああSeptember 20, 2012 My lifetime being just 25 years is good. At least people with 25 years old can imagine a close future.
二○十二年 九月二○日
寿命は25まででいいよ。
大体25でおおよその未来が想像できるし。September 21, 2012 Yesterday I had a dream about me constantly slicing my tongue off with a peeler.
二○十二年 九月二十一日
昨日舌をピーラーで削がれ続ける夢を見た。September 22, 2012 Every day and every day, If I could at least turn 90% of my troubles into 10% of happiness... At this way, it seems like I'm just always cheating to live If I don't think that I can handle this anymore, I could just... I think It's better to me to die.
二○十二年 九月二十二日
毎日毎日9割の苦労を1割の幸福で慰めるように…
こんな風にこれからずっと騙し騙し生きて
いかなきゃいけないと思うとさっさと
死んだ方がましかなって思う。September 24, 2012 "Youu~ already dieed~ at one's poost~"
二○十二年 九月二十四日
「君はー殉職ー死ーんだしー」
TRANSLATOR NOTE (MoekaChiina): In the japanese version the text is full in hiragana. When a text is
all in hiragana, it looks childish or shows how someone is getting insane/crazy.
Hiragana isn't also the correct form to write a full japanese sentence, so I made it
sound wrong in the english version too. The last sentence is typed correctly because
in the japanese version there's kanji and proper grammar.

いまなら空も飛べそうな気分さ(^^)December 22, 2012 CURSE. The indigo-colored and disturbing decomposition smell is unsupportable, right? CURSE. By the way, I have a feeling that I heard it from various places. CURSE. Why in the moments I'm enjoying the decomposition smell I'm using a puffin for it?

Even if it's possible, you know... It would be just another little happiness that isn't to the same degree as my everyday troubles With just a single rope and mere seconds I don't have to feel sad for a long, remaining time
二○十三年 九月二十三日
生きているから悩む、辛い目に遭う、苦労しなきゃいけない
日々に幸せなんてあるのか
あったとしてもそれは
日々の苦労には全然見合わない程の
小さな幸せだろう
ロープ1本とほんの数秒で
残りの膨大な時間を悲しまなくていいんだ- profile(Distorted black and white picture): Has a screamer. A profile of a person, that according to the website, it's the profile of Lomando's website manager. Some white hands are moving towards the picture. If the player clicks on the picture, it will redirect the player to a flash of a bobble-head woman and text that randomly appears reading "I want to die" (死にたい).
ｊかｈｆしおうお。あｓｄ (Heven)
The background is red and has a lot of fake cursors (that confuse the player) that follow the player's cursor, as well as a door in the middle of the screen. If the player clicks the door, a green head making a grossed-out look sticking its tongue out drops down to the center of the screen from the top-left corner. If the player takes too long, a vampire girl with long black hair and empty eye sockets appears along with a moan, as the player then gets sent back to the main page. It also knows when the player is cheating. Any attempt to cheat a screamer will pop up.
ｄヴぃおｋｈｊｃｄｓｌｋふぇ (Eden)
The same thing has Heven, except the background is black, and the door can be clicked on. taking too long will also result in the vampire girl appearing the same way, sending the player back to the main page. Different of the "Heven" page, the player can cheat on it.
