Sakuya Izayoi Gives You Advice And Dabs is a Touhou Project fan-Visual Novel, released in February 2020 by Sigyaad Team. It can be found on Steam here
.
In March 2020, it received a DLC followup, Nitori Kawashiro Offers You Advice In Exchange For Cucumbers And Eats The Cucumbers.
This visual novel provides examples of the following tropes and dabs:
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Sakuya Izayoi asks you a few questions and gives you some generic advice. Then she dabs.
- Fun with Acronyms: Apparently, Sakuya's dab is a spell card titled "Dangerous Action Behavior".
- Iyashikei: The stated goal of the scenario is to help you relax and find a solution to whatever's troubling you.
- Our Lawyers Advised This Trope: The Steam store page contains a tiny disclaimer that the game "is not meant to treat or diagnose any medical condition and is not meant as a substitute for professional help".
The DLC offers examples of the following tropes in exchange for cucumbers:
- Appeal to Worse Problems: Discussed and defied — when asking Nitori how you can be a good friend, she points out that you should avoid giving advice like "you can't be sad because other people have it worse than you", saying it's terrible advice that helps no one.
- But Thou Must!: When Nitori offers advice in exchange for your cucumbers, the responses provided are "Yes", "Yes", and "Yes".
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: As in the base game, the title tells you precisely what to expect — Nitori Kawashiro offers you some advice in exchange for cucumbers, and then eats the cucumbers.
- Trademark Favorite Food: As a kappa, Nitori is naturally fond of cucumbers, and will give advice in exchange for the delicious treat.
