Players Who Registered Rare Japanese PC Game Invited To Secret Party Over 25 Years Later

Cookie’s Bustle, the most normal video game in the whole wide world, is not done with us yet. The ultra-obscure and hard to source Japanese PC game celebrated two milestones this year: A quarter century anniversary and liberation from a mysterious patent troll. The dreamlike odyssey has frequently raised more questions than answers, and it’s still got more to give. It seems that hardcore Cookie fans were invited to a secret party on Friday, including the select few who bothered to send in their registration card back in 1999.

“We hope that your adventure with Cookie was wonderful,” read one invitation from the ‘Official Cookie’s Bustle Team’ provided to me. “For certain reasons, Cookie’s Bustle was discontinued in 2001, and Cookie, along with Gray the rabbit, went into a long hibernation. And as the end of that deep slumber approaches, you, our most valued customer, will be the first to receive the news.”

Over the weekend, posts emerged out of Tokyo from a function held by QualityTime Consulting, a Japanese technology firm. Despite being established in 2006, the soiree was to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Cookie’s Bustle (though it’s technically the 27th anniversary of Cookie’s Bustle ). Described as a “25th secret event” by the merch and a “time capsule event” by others, the party had live musicians playing tunes from the game, exclusive swag, someone dressed as Cookie herself and cookies shaped like Cookie herself. While attendees were apparently instructed not to take photos, news of the event still traversed to the outside world .
