A minigame experience in which a number of unconventional things must be done to uncover the secrets of a mysterious Tokyo floppy disk on your personal computer. Some of these things are disturbing.

Mouse and arrow keys only. Arrow keys are pictured onscreen if you need to use them during the minigame.
PRAISE FOR 'YOU CAN SHAVE THE BABY' :
"I enjoyed shaving the baby. I have to admit - I enjoyed it almost as much as my husband Dennis enjoys shaving my hirsute thighs every morning."
- The late Margaret Thatcher, on an early development version of the game
"You know, if I were a single man, I might ask that baby out. That's a good-looking baby."
- Bill Clinton, 1998, on the in-game graphics of the baby
FAQs:
Q. The bird doesn't stop looking at me and I always lose.
A. Maybe you should just do nothing and stare back.
Q. What's Colin Mochrie's sweet spot? I can't make him shiver with delight.
A. Most people miss the very edge of his left shoulder. Try that.
Q. Is there an end to this relentless minigame hell?
A. No. There is only suffering.

Not sure it fits well with the theme though, but oh well.
I made it to 12 interfaces, but some of the challenges I did not understood, e.g. "don't scare the bird". Is there an end?
Anyway, congrats on great entry, lots of weird fun.
BTW, couldn't get the mac app to run, had to run from source
Loved it. Great mini-game game, very funny and great visuals. The egg lady looks so sad.
My best run was 20 interfaces before running out of hearts. By that point I was starting to notice some pretty heavy repetition anyway though so I think I had pretty much seen mostly what the game had to offer.
I enjoyed this more than I though I would. Though I've never played them extensively, I don't mind Warioware-style games every once in a while. It's completely random but doesn't feel immature to me, just sort of like little snapshots of bizarre requests. And I like the surprising nature of the mini-games you've assembled. Lots of nice variation between keyboard and different kinds of mouse interaction.
Pretty nice job on this, it was fairly entertaining and it was a really nice deviation from the other entries I've seen so far. It doesn't really match with the theme very well in my opinion, but that aside I thoroughly enjoyed the time with your game.
Music is great, graphics are hilarious, minigames are nicely made. Love it !
Before playing I was almost certain that the praise in your description was forged, but after playing the game everything checks out.
Awesome job!
Nice job with the linux build as well.
The game is fun as hell, laughed harder than i's have expected to some of the minigame.
The music is also pretty good, maybe some of the track lost some point in the higher pitched-higher speed section of the game [but this is just a side note]
Cool graphics, but maybe some more detail would have helped.
Does the computer have the same face of the game icon??
thumbs up!
I didn't manage to beat the microgame with the guy jumping off the cliff.
Wario Ware like, very funny, with cool graphics et cool music !
this is awesome.
But a nice experiment thought :).
Interesting mix of games. Some weren't too suggestive but rather strange.
Bravo!
Very good game! Nice job
It's refreshing and WTF-esque. Loved it.
