99 Tears

Weep and you shall find happiness... At least, that's what Bandai Namco Japan are saying. They recently announced the release of "99 no Namida" (99 Tears) for Nintendo DS. The game's purpose? To make players cry, with the decree that crying can have a moving effect of relieving players from daily stress.

The game takes place in a city where people have forgotten how to cry. One day, on your way home from work, you encounter a store named "Namida no Moto Arimasu" (Source of Tears).

Players will read through a 15 minute graphic novel and answer a few questions on a daily basis. 99 stories to be precise, developing more tears as they encounter the stories. "99 Tears" is due for release later this year in Japan.
