Deep Fancy Island

Official PC version logo

**Deep Fancy Island** (Japanese: **深層ふぁんしーあいらんど**) is a short expansion to the regular edition of Lomando.com. It was released on January 6th, 2023. The expansion takes place in an underground area presumably connected to the abandoned Fancy Island Amusement Park.

As with the original game, the expansion was developed, illustrated, and voiced entirely by an anonymous individual known as Nohito, Fancy Island Manager, or mousoumanager using functions of HTML5, and available for all regions. However, unlike the original game, which had separate releases for the PC and mobile versions, Deep Fancy Island's pages become compatible with the player's device via aspect ratio. Sounds effects and music were borrowed from Onjin and H/MIX respectively, along with an additional resource, Sound Effects Lab (効果音ラボ) used exclusively for the expansion. The expansion's written text was released in both Japanese and English using translation software.

## Gameplay

According to Deeptop.html, the goal of the expansion is to reach the archive by solving various puzzles and mysteries. The expansion includes new characters along with several returning from the regular edition. Unlike the regular edition, there is no gallery page, as the archive includes images of all new characters and one returning character that can be encountered.

The expansion starts with the Visitor looking down at a hole with a staircase in a dark field. Upon clicking the entrance, the player is greeted with a floating head and five clickable floating symbols. Each symbol will redirect the player on a completely separate path with various rewards at the ends of them. The first path, starting at Deepgesui.html, will lead to a memo containing an alternate path on the starting page. The second, third, and fourth paths starting at Deepskull.html, Deepcryw.html, and Deepslotkai.html respectively will lead to secret codes for the archive page that unlock additional content (all of which are optional), while the fifth path simply leads to the dead-end page Deepmadoroom.html. As these paths do not contribute to finding the archive, they are entirely optional for beating the expansion.

Using the key for the alternative path layed out in the first path page Deepmemo9128.html, the player can access Deeprouka.html, then Deepdashtwoes.html, a puzzle-oriented page that includes two separate paths to Deepomuk.html, the last page before the gallery. Solving the puzzles will award the player with the Exorcism Laser Gun, which can then be used to shoot the force protecting the door and progress to Deepomuk.html. However, using the Exorcism Laser Gun to shoot Karakuri doll, the player can instead access Deepdotsboy.html. This page includes Yukan no Shonen from the regular edition, who will recognize the player and redirect them to Deepomuk.html. Once the player has progressed to Deepomuk.html, they will defeat Spider monster and go through a door to finally reach the archive.

## Development

The manager began working on Deep Fancy Island around August 2022, starting with Deepindox.html. The site also underwent maintenance around this time, possibly indicating testing on the website. Development continued into September and October (indicated by the date on the PC in Deepdassyutu.html).

Development continued into late October, November, and December. The site underwent maintenance around the beginning of October, and the manager added various minor updates to the regular version of Lomando.com from October-November, notably a new sound effect for Gallery Master in Index.html and the removal of the page Roulette.html. Finally, development for the first version of the expansion would conclude in January 2023, with the page Deeptop.html being finished a shortly before the expansion's release.
