Against all odds, i thought someone here might have it or at least heard of it..

I played it when i was really really young. The freakyness and wierdness traumatised me and gave me nightmares for months on. But now i crave it more than ever

http://www.t-s-k-b.com/garage_private_edition/game.html

Thats the game,...
I know there isnt much hope but its the most i can do...
I'v tried contacting company but it was a really small one, and i don't think is run by anyone at the moment.. Also all japanese forums etc etc contain old information.. pre 2002stuff.
 
Yeah, but because of the name 'garage' it comes up with lots of results, also the likelihood of someone uploading this... is low, since japanese people dont really do much pirating.

EDIT: and yes it is very bad(freaky!
 
Looks great from the screenies! Sort of like Fallout seen through I. R. Giger's brain! :p Did you play it in Japanese or has it been translated?

You could try some of the bigger gaming forums like IGN. Or maybe the places were some of the slightly more "discerning" gamers hang out, like Eurogamer or forums run by gaming magazines like Edge or GamesTM. If you do find me drop us an update here, I might try it out too! :)

I assume you've tried the 'bay?
 
yeh, looks freaky. How did you play it if it was in japanese?

edit -reminds me of the game 'sanitarium' from those screenshots

Bays been tried, and nothing :(
Will let you know if i find it, also its only in Japanese right now :(, i might try translating if programmer helps me out :),
Also im going to ask my dad when he gets back, he might have an idea of where to get it from.

And thanks for the interest !

also will try bigger forums !
also its only in japanese :(

EDIT, as some of you are interested, heres a quick brief of the game

Story: Your someone who came to be cured for something, you don't know what you're being cured for, when you wake up you're this freaky looking machine with a note on the table saying ' you must get out, that is not the correct world' (something like that),

Game Play: Anyway its a pretty hard game, There are tracks all around the map, you can only follow those tracks, dotted around the maps are scraping squish things, you go in to these- you die, however they dont move around so as long as you know where they are, you have nothing to be affraid of.
You're a machine, and all machine needs fuel, and these fuels are exchaged for 'stamps' (there currency) fuel is what makes you move and is lost by moving, Another thing is oil, this is needed for you to communicate with other freaky machines.
You get 'stamps' by fishing frogs, this is the main resource in this world, frogs are squeezed for oil!. anyway these frogs are traded.
