History

History Unknown as for now.

Personality:

Nuppeppo bears an impudent, insolent personality, as it immediately refers to Isamu Uchiumi as "an ugly" creature in their first encounter. Despite its impudent personality, it later refers to Isamu by using much friendlier terms such as "child" or "kiddo". Nuppeppo is one of the few helpful characters in The Mimic that offers help to the protagonist. It offered to help Isamu by tasking him to bring meat for his own good, later instructing Isamu to make dishes to satisfy it's insatiable hunger. Zuboshi used the meat it offered him to collect beforehand, which partly helped him escape The Kitchen.

Gameplay appearance:

Jealousy book/chapter II Nuppeppo first encounters Isamu at the Meat Restaurant. It informs Isamu that it won't eat him, as it recently became vegetarian. Nuppeppo then sends Isamu downstairs to collect some meat for later use. After Isamu gives Nuppeppo the correct amount of meat, a gate opens, allowing Isamu to escape. Nuppeppo meets again with Isamu in the The Kitchen. Nuppeppo explains to the young man that he must prepare several different dishes for a beast with the meat Nuppeppo had made him collect earlier at the Meat Restaurant. Isamu panics, having never cooked before. After 4 minutes of cooking and feeding the beast, Nuppeppo tells Isamu that he is on his own now, as the beast still wasn’t satisfied with the food Isamu fed him. The beast continues to chase Isamu away, leaving Nuppeppo behind.

I won't rest until I find out what really happened in Aogashima. ISAMU IN CHAPTER 1 OF JEALOUSY'S BOOK Isamu Uchiumi (内うち海うみ勇いさむ, Uchiumi Isamu) is the main protagonist of Jealousy's Book. He is also the younger brother of Senzai Uchiumi, and the youngest son of Akihito Uchiumi and Tamae Uchiumi.

Physical appearance

Isamu Uchiumi has dark-brown hair and eyes. He wears a blue suit with a white collared shirt and undershirt with buttons, and his neck accessory is either a blue tie or an identification tag, as it alternates between concept art. His hair is wavy and appears to be wet, as in his old concept art, it is raining height 180cm tall.

Personality

Isamu is fairly observant of his surroundings, always questioning everything around him. He is also very bold, confidently walking up to Nuppeppo knowing that it may not be friendly. He can be a bit clueless at times, especially since he somehow never knew the pain his father would inflict on Senzai after he showed his acceptance letter to their father. His father forced both of his sons to work in the law field and unlike his brother, Isamu was interested to work as a detective not only because he unconditionally loves it but also because he wanted his parents to be proud of him. Isamu is regretful and thinks about his past mistakes, which is a reason why he wished he could share his regrets with his brother, Senzai, who “passed away” shortly before the events of Jealousy’s Book. Sometimes Isamu can be a bit sassy, such as when he calls Keneo an “old fart” after Keneo tells Isamu that he “certainly doesn’t belong in heaven” or with Hakamori after she calls him ugly and he responds with “Me? Ugly? Says you”. Isamu can be quite the show off, making remarks such as “Guess that snake wasn’t so tough after all”. Sometimes Isamu can be a bit dumb, as shown by his infamous quote in Chapter 1, where he mistakes Umibozu for a whale, and many others.

Gameplay appearances

He appears in every chapter of Jealousy's Book since he is the main protagonist. He also appears as a monster/hallucination in the house section of Chapter III when Senzai’s sanity gets low.

History

Isamu's Life In Chapter 3, it was revealed that Isamu and his brother, Senzai, had a rather abusive father, Akihito Uchiumi, and it was shown that Senzai was often scolded by him. Senzai used to be the favorite child between him and his brother as he performed better academically and was the first-born child. Isamu only became the favorite child when Senzai showed his art school acceptance letter to their father. As a result of everything that had happened with Senzai and the other members of his family, it is speculated that Senzai possibly ran away. After Senzai was found "deceased", Isamu took on the job of investigating his brother's death. The first place he wanted to search was Aogashima. Isamu was probably involved in sports at some point, as evidenced by his red varsity jacket, his slightly boastful personality, and his overall better stamina than other protagonists like Yasu and Keiko. Chapter I The Beginning of His Journey Isamu goes to the office to check on the corpse of his brother, Senzai, in the autopsy room. Isamu then sets off to Aogashima Island – where Senzai was last seen before his death – on his speedboat. Upon almost arriving at the island, his boat suddenly turns off by itself. He then sees an Umibozu appearing in front of his boat. The creature raised one of its arm and slammed its hand onto Isamu's boat, knocking him out in the process. Isamu faintly regains consciousness at one point and saw that someone was dragging him somewhere, before blacking out again. The Sisters' Minka Isamu wakes up in a room of an unknown Minka. He stumbles upon a room with a book on a table in the middle of the room. He proceeds to read what was written on the book; a story about two sisters named Rin and Mio, both of whom he would encounter after. After reading the book, Isamu gets tasked to find 3 rats and poison them in the well for Mio to consume, as said by a bloody writing on the wall. He finds them while being hunted by Rin. With each poisoned rat

-that he offered, he rang the bell in a room. After he finished, the two sisters, realizing that they have been tricked, chase Isamu through the hallways full of obstacles. Nure's Zone After Isamu escapes, he ends up in a hallway of heads. Each of the floating heads stare at him as he walks through, with two of the heads screaming at him as he passed them. After exiting, he climbs up the long staircase before him. The ground suddenly shakes below his feet and Nagisa rises up and starts searching for Isamu. To avoid her, Isamu hides inside the grass. The creature then descends, giving Isamu a chance to cross the bridge. Isamu, again, hides inside the grass on the other side and makes his way to a cave once the creature descends again. As he walks through the cave, the creature spots him and chases him. He is led to a mysterious village once he escapes. Yoki Town Isamu ends up in an unknown village. He encounters an old man, Keneo, who instructs him to steal a Seishin Orb that is guarded by the "Blind Witch". Isamu explores the minkas in the village, finding a key in one of them. This key leads to the house that the "Blind Witch" guards, where he has to light up the candles below 5 of the correct paintings. Here, he has to light the paintings that he has seen throughout the minkas in the surrounding area. After solving the puzzle, he summons the orb and steals it. He brings the orb to Keneo and is brought to a boat. The Broken Ship Isamu continues his path and comes across a sunken cruise ship. He goes in and appears in the cabin floor. He is tasked to light a number of sets of candles depending on the current phase. On this floor, he has to avoid Hyakume. On the upper floor, he has to avoid Kishin and on the bottommost floor, he has to avoid Kyogi. He does this while having to replenish his oxygen at times. When Isamu finishes, he tries to escape through a vent with the monster with eyes on his hands, Kyogi, not too far behind him. Isamu then falls into a-

different layout of the vents, getting himself away from Kyogi. He then ends up getting jumpscared by him. Enzukai's Seal Isamu wakes up to find himself face-to-face with the Beast of Jealousy, who is still chained to its seal. Chapter II The Deep Ocean Isamu wakes up in a nightmare where he once again encounters the figure who previously dragged him, calling his name. Isamu runs towards the figure, but then finds himself standing amidst the deep ocean where he has to avoid 2 Umibozus that try to attack him. He manages to escape, but a mysterious hand grabs him from a giant door and knocks him out. The Palace Isamu wakes up in a place where he encounters several Jikininki. To avoid being noticed by them, he makes sure to stay quiet and not step on any glass. He then reaches a bridge that takes him to a glowing blue portal. The Meat Restaurant Isamu is taken to a meat restaurant, where he encounters a creature named "Nuppeppo". The creature requests Isamu to collect multiple pieces of meat from this place. While doing so, he has to avoid Kuishinbo. After he succeeds and gives Nuppeppo all the meat, it opens a door for Isamu to escape. After reaching the door, Isamu walks down a hallway, where he falls through the floor, back into the restaurant. Then, several Gashadokuros appear and chase Isamu out of the restaurant. Underwater City After escaping the Gashadokuros, Isamu arrives in an underwater city where he is tasked to find multiple levers to open a gate door that leads him into a strange cavern. The Foggy Cavern Upon arriving, Isamu notices a huge Enzukai statue as he goes down a flight of rock stairs, arriving upon a foggy cavern with more Jikininki and an equation puzzle at the end. Isamu works with the numbers that he can use to solve the equation puzzle, thus making his escape. The Kitchen After escaping, Nuppeppo appears again and tells Isamu that he has to cook food for Zuboshi. After Isamu cooks multiple meals for the monster, he gets chase

-by him out of the kitchen, through a long chase sequence. He eventually reaches the end of the cavern and escapes. Red Light, Green Light Isamu finds himself in another area with Teiryu that requires Isamu to play a game of red light, green light in order to escape. Isamu carefully moves across the floor, eyeing the monster and waiting for her to give him the signal to move again each time he has to stop. As soon as Isamu reaches the ladder at the end, he runs towards a tower. The Tower Isamu encounters a tower where he has to solve multiple memory based puzzles while avoiding Ryoshi that will kill him if he doesn't hide in time. The Playground Isamu is brought to a playground where he encounters a small child-like monster girl inside a playground named Chihiro. She prompts him to play a game of hide and seek with him and will help him escape if he does so. He plays a couple of rounds with her – all while avoiding her "Mother", and escapes via a gate inside the playground. However, he ends up in the same area but with an extreme thick fog and darkness, where he is forced to collect certain amount of notes while also trying not to look at Chihiro's "Mother". After completion, Chihiro appears once more and lets Isamu ride her pet, PonPon, to help him escape. Ship Battle PonPon guides Isamu out of the water, throwing him onto a nearby pirate ship. Isamu then gets into a battle with Nagisa by launching cannonballs at her, all while trying to keep the ship from sinking. However, she emerges out of the water once more and opened her mouth wide to reveal another snake form. This new form is known as Nagisa the Sea Serpent. Isamu must dodge her attacks again and use a cutlass to slay her. Isamu later wins the battle. Enzukai's Lair The mysterious figure from Isamu’s dream in the start of the chapter turns Isamu around and knocks him out. Isamu wakes up in front of the figure gasping for air, who is revealed to be Senzai, his older brother. He welcomes Isamu to

his world and summons his god, Enzukai. Enzukai pulls Isamu towards itself and rips his heart out. Soon after, Isamu wakes up inside Jigoku. Chapter III Jigoku After having his heart ripped out by Enzukai in Chapter II, Isamu arrived in Jigoku. Keneo's Minka Isamu woke up to the gates of Jigoku and encountered two gatekeepers, who talked about him as a "special case". Isamu then found himself in Keneo's Minka, where he again encountered the old man, Keneo, who instructs him to traverse the realms of hell to meet "him". Isamu's objective here was to collect four hearts – one of which was guarded by a shinchu – and place them on the hands located in the center room. After doing so, he spun them around until they got crushed. This opened an exit doorway for him. Twisted Labyrinth After entering, Isamu approached a white particle at the end of a hallway and the particle turned red and a satanic sigil appeared below him. From the sigil, an entity named Nejibishoma arose and began chasing Isamu, who then enters the Labyrinth. He met entities called shokunin, who asked him to feed them two pieces of sticks and one piece of cloth to make a torch to throw at Nejibishoma. While avoiding Nejibishoma, who was wandering around the maze, Isamu was able to locate the required items. After burning the entity 2-3 times, an exit doorway opened up, allowing Isamu to escape and enter the Cavern of Wealth. Cavern of Wealth After leaving the cave, Isamu picked up a bone-like sword. He entered the Cavern of Wealth and encountered Hakamori, who instructed him to ring all the bells located in the area. Isamu needed to complete a memory game in order to ring a bell. Each time, one of Dodomeki’s hands emerged from the ground and Isamu would slay it. He did this for all the bells except the final one; after completing the final memory-based puzzle, Dodomeki, the owner of the cavern herself, emerged from the ground. She would shout "Yield", prompting Isamu to stay still. In between-

-Dodomeki's attacks, Isamu found 2-3 doors where he needed to identify shapes that were located on top of one another. After completing the last door, it opened and allowed him to exit the Cavern of Wealth. Dodomeki then comes through the door and chases Isamu down paths of falling rubble and moving platforms. Twisted Lake After escaping, Isamu appeared to be falling in a burning city. He then woke up in a flooded hallway, where Enzukai appeared in front of him and dragged him down to the Twisted Lake. Isamu found himself on a boat in the middle of water. Shadows of Enzukai appeared, and Isamu pushed each one off in order to survive. Every time he did this, Enzukai would say things to taunt him. Uchiumi Residence In this part, Isamu witnessed the dark memories of his brother, Senzai, and his perspective on living with their abusive father. Isamu got transported to a dark village, and on his way, discovered his old Minka where he, his father, and Senzai had lived together. Isamu then had a vision where he was inside Senzai's body. He was advised to mop the floors, do the dishes, turn off the TV, remove rodents from cabinets, pray to Enzukai, and sleep before Father came home. Around 6-7pm each night, Father would arrive home and come to see if he was really sleeping. After these nights, Isamu witnesses Senzai's memories being punished by their father and then saw a figure of himself grinning evilly. The Train Station Isamu, after experiencing the memories, wakes up in a train station in a place that looked like Tokyo. To get to one of the metro trains, he searched for a crowbar and found one under the leg of a corpse-like figure. With it, he made his way through a blocked path to the metro train. A train with eyes all around it arrived for him. Moments into the train ride, a number of hands sought after him, prompting him to frantically burst the train door open. He managed to escape. The Abandoned Village As Isamu appeared in this village, he spoke again-

-with Hakamori, who instructed him to feed 2 larvae to Nurikabe while being careful around the place as "the father" could catch him. Goop River The river that Isamu went through next consisted of a muddy ground that moved around to form humps that would kill him if he came in contact with them. He avoided them by using the platforms along the way. Yurei's Forest Isamu fell down to a large jungle forest that was said by Hakamori to be the final layer. He had to find certain items in the houses here and once he did, each house he looked for those items in would vanish, angering a spirit here. Yurei's Arena Yurei, the angered spirit, appeared from a tree and initiated a battle with him. Isamu used the white katanas provided on the ground and threw them at her to deal damage. Once she was defeated, a memorial tree of her grew from the ground and allowed Isamu to move on in his journey. Throne of Jigoku Isamu meets Shinigami here and makes a deal with him to bring him back to life. Isamu is then challenged to complete his trial to be granted a limited time in the living world. In this trial, he had to avoid getting caught by Shinigami who was chasing him. Later on, after being chased by him riding a much bigger form of Hakamori, Isamu escaped and got granted the chance to go back to the living world. Tokyo When Isamu returns back to Earth, he witnesses chaos happening in Tokyo. Then, he sees Enzukai transforming into their new form.

Chapter III - Uchiumi Residence Usually unavoidable: He is a bit faster than your walking speed. But you will still die no matter where you go. Keep your sanity bar high enough at all times to avoid him.

Jealousy book:The Meat Restaurant

TYPE Location Stage LEVEL Medium LOCATION Japan INHABITANTS Hostiles: Kuishinbo Gashadokuros Friendly: Nuppeppo PREVIOUS NEXT The Palace Underwater City

The Meat Restaurant is the third location of Jealousy's Book: Chapter II. This is where Isamu has to collect meat, evade Kuishinbo, and submit the meat to Nuppeppo before being able to exit the restaurant.

Storyline

After Isamu escapes the Jikininki, he comes across a horrifying blob-like creature named Nuppeppo. Fortunately, Isamu was in luck because Nuppeppo recently became a vegetarian. It then requests for Isamu to bring it some meat pieces from the restaurant, Isamu agrees to the task. There lies an enormous creature named Kuishinbo, whose only goal is to search and kill Isamu. Isamu searches around the dimly-lit restaurant and gives Nuppeppo the meat he collected. A metal gate then opens for him to leave. After entering a narrow, long hallway, Isamu falls through a trapdoor and gets suddenly ambushed by Gashadokuro. He is chased out of the restaurant by them into the Underwater City.

Appearances

Entrance Room Meat enterance The entrance is a dimly-lit 2-section room with shelves lining both the sides for section 1, and Nuppeppo standing at the back of section 2. The stairs are at the left of section 2. Both sections 1 and 2 are divided by a door. Main Room The main room is a large 3-story room with "balconies" along the walls. the only way down to the 1st floor is by 2 steep flights of stairs. The 1st floor branches off into 3 sections, 2 of the 3 lead to the meat rooms, while 1 leads to the exit.

Tutorial

Getting Meat After talking to Nuppeppo, players must collect bowls of meat (varies with number of players) and give them to it, so that it can help the players. Players have to walk down the stairs and enter the branched-off rooms to collect meat. Players will walk through a variety of rooms that lead to a meat room. Players will then have to grab a bowl from the table and collect up to 3 pieces of meat in the same room or a connecting room from the bowl room (dead end). While trying to avoid Kuishinbo, players must go back up the staircase and talk to Nuppeppo again to give it the meat. Players have to go back to get more meat as the bowl can only hold up to 3 pieces of meat In order to evade Kuishinbo, use the tips for hiding below. Escaping part After giving Nuppeppo the required amount of meat, players will then have to go to one of the branched-off segments, all the way to the "dead-end" where the exit is located. Kuishinbo usually spawns at the right branched-off segment at the start of the game. Hiding Spots Even though the restaurant map generation is completely random, there are several hiding spots around that can help players evade Kuishinbо. The stairs that Isamu first uses to enter the Meat Restaurant. Try to stay away from the very bottom when evading Kuishinbo as it could kill players due to its large hitbox. Under tables that allow players to walk in when standing (NOT crouching). Kuishinbо would try to "grab" players from below but it would not kill them. Closets are located around the branched-off segments. Entering it will help players evade Kuishinbо. They are always present in entrances to the meat rooms. To leave the closet, just walk forward. Holes in the wall located in the walls of storage rooms, though they are small and may be hard to spot due to the dark lighting. In between the cage and the pot in "boxes" with visible storage space underneath them. (Picture on the bottom right) Hiding Spot Chase (Gashadokuros) After escaping Kushi

Trivia

This specific map has a random set of rooms connecting to the center, making it the only map that changes locations in each run. The location takes the inspiration from Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away from the design of the main room with the stairs' design and the space layout. Even Kuishinbo takes inspiration from No-Face from said film. The location originally had Ashinagatenaga (Two Ryoshis in which one piggybacks the other) appears in this part of the chapter. They're even featured on a TikTok sneak peek. They were replaced with Kuishinbo at some point during development. [1] Extremely helpful tip: If you're at the center and you hear Kuishinbo's voice lines from one direction, go to the opposite direction and just gather meat from there. But be careful as Kuishinbo can sometimes get stuck and teleport near you.

The Kitchen

TYPE Location Stage LEVEL Moderately Medium LOCATION Japan INHABITANTS Zuboshi Non-Hostiles: Nuppeppo Kaonashi Umibozu (briefly in chase). PREVIOUS NEXT The Foggy Cavern Red Light, Green Light

The Kitchen is the sixth location of Jealousy's Book: Chapter II. This is where Isamu has to cook dishes for Zuboshi.

Storyline

After solving the puzzle and make his escape out of the Foggy Cavern, Isamu enters The Kitchen where he once again meet up with Nuppeppo. Nuppeppo then informs Isamu that the meat he had to gather at the Meat Restaurant was needed to feed Zuboshi, a ravenous bull-spider. Isamu is forced to cook for the Great Ushi-Oni, Zuboshi, but due to Isamu not knowing how to cook, the monster is angered and decides that Isamu will become his next meal. Nuppeppo tells Isamu that his cooking "stinks" and that he is now on his own. Isamu runs for his life as the enraged bull monster chases him through the long cavern. Isamu must dodge the falling rocks in order to outrun Zuboshi. Eventually, the rocks fall behind Isamu, blocking Zuboshi from enclosing and reaching Isamu.

Tutorial

Goal: Prepare all of the dishes instructed and feed them to Zuboshi. The timer on the bottom-right shows the time players have left to cook. The timer within each dish shows how much time players have left to feed Zuboshi that dish. The 3 dishes are listed below: Eyeball Pasta Ingredients: Eyeballs, Spaghetti base - No cooking required Place a bowl down. Put the listed ingredients into the bowl. Pick up the finished dish and feed it to Zuboshi. Deux Meat Ingredients: Ham and Sausage - Cooking required Place a pot down. Put the listed ingredients into the pot. Place the pot on the stove and let it cook until the bar reaches the end. TRANSFER the pot into an empty bowl. Pick up the finished dish and feed it to Zuboshi. Turkey Ingredients: Turkey, Wrapped Meat and Cheese - Cooking required Place a pot down. Put the listed ingredients into the pot. Place the pot on the stove and let it cook until the bar reaches the end. TRANSFER the pot into an empty bowl. Pick up the finished dish and feed it to Zuboshi. Notes Many players forget to transfer the cooked dish into a bowl Bin an ingredient / pot / bowl if wrong ingredients are added, accidentally took an ingredient, etc. If the player(s) doesn't give the right dishes to Zuboshi or the ones that aren't listed or run out of time to cook any dishes too much, then they would be killed, so in Nightmare Mode, it would be an automatic game over if this happens. If there is a fire icon beneath the meal, that means you must cook the meal. You only need to cook the Turkey & Wrapped Meat & Cheese dish and the Ham & Sausage dish. There is no need to cook the Eyeball Pasta.

Trivia

The more players within the game, the more dishes needed to be given to Zuboshi. The Kitchen challenge is inspired by the cooking simulation video game Overcooked. This challenge goes on for 4 minutes. There is a bug where when you put the pot with food on the stove, and when you take it off, and put it back, it will automatically says that it's done cooking. This has not been patched yet. In Nightmare Mode, you have less time to prepare a dish for Zuboshi.
