Summary

Warau Warawau (Laughing Warawau) is a freeware story-heavy adventure/RPG made in RPG Maker 2000. Warau Warawau is a spin-off game in the Towelket series, mixing characters and stories from the mainline series with popular fiction, most noticeably Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. There is some turn-based combat like in the mainline series and the game takes you to many exotic, surreal and sometimes disturbing places. Warau Warawau became a cult hit and is still popular among Japanese fans. This is the first game to not use a mix of public domain music (classic, jazz, ragtime etc.), but instead it features the free music by Hirokazu Akiyama, whose music was also used in other RPG Maker games/series like Alicemare.

Storyline

A rich little wimp named Warawau is teased by her maid again today and heads to school. But on the way, she becomes lost in the strange and mysterious World of Laughter. There she encounters a young girl claiming to be her guide, and goes on a journey through the World of Laughter. A heartwarming tale of a lady and her protector. A translation project for this game has just begun.
