Mocou's キッチン, or Mokou's Kitchen as it's more commonly known as, is a Touhou Project fangame for Flash created by yu-ki in 2012. It stars everyone's favorite never aging, youkai killing, "genuine" yakitori stand owner and #1 Kaguya hater, Fujiwara no Mokou in an attempt to demonstrate her cooking skills in what appears to be her own cooking show.
This TAS aims to finish the game on "Lunatic" difficulty with an in-game time of 15.7 seconds. I've been holding this off since January, so I'm glad to finally submit this just in time for April Fools.
The game is entirely played by using the mouse. You start by... errm... choking (and presumably killing) our victim test subject Mystia Lorelei. Then we pierce the unspecified youkai meat. We have to move the mouse on a circle the frame before clicking on it so it registers properly. And finally we add some seasoning to make it... edible? Everything is done by mashing and timing everything frame perfectly. The buttering up segment is done by dragging the block of butter with the mouse. I try my best to drag it around the required rectangular area as much as I could.
Umm... there's not much else to say really.
eien86: Claiming for judging.
eien86: A well executed movie to a game that requires fast and precise mouse clicking. The choice of difficulty makes sense.
Note to publisher: enough warnings need to be added to alert the viewer of the violent and objectionable theme here (there is implied cannibalism).
Accepting to standard
Thanks to InputEvelution for the sync
despoa: Processing...

Looks superhuman but sounds very jarring. How hard is Lunatic difficulty for a normal player?

Well you have to do a lot of constant, precise mashing for a long time so it can be exhausting. The difficulty is mostly how long it takes you to mash the left click button on the mouse (how much health our test subject has), the size of the butter at the third section and the timing window in the final section.

I do! And they are very straightforward: Please, if you think your game contains stuff that is content-warning worthy, do not be coy about it and do not dance around it. Be as upfront as you need to be and make any questionable or disturbing elements of the work clear. Submissions are a process of communication, and expecting us to both have to deal with the process of adding content warnings to works we are less familiar with than you as an author is a difficult thing already, but consider as well that authors, reviewers, encoders and publishers are also human beings that need to interact with the movie in question as part of the submission process. They might be put off by your movie if you are not upfront about any potential issues with it. I'm adding this as a note for the submission process as well, as I think this is something worth addressing there too.
