Thank you for your patience! Please remember to play the normal route first (the link is available on every route page along with the password). I can’t tell you how excited we were to start Shizuo’s route. It made us even happier how he had minimal problems during testing~
Download Shizuo’s part one here! The password is: Pudding
Per usual, a walkthrough will be available on the page.
We hope you enjoy Shizuo’s part one!

I love Shizuo's part one so much! I played through it once already and didn't hit a bad ending (phew), and the cute moments with him and his smile omg 🥰 And the way it ended, I can't wait to see what happens in the next part!
Now I'm going through again and purposely picking the bad options, which hurts more than when I did the same for Izaya's route. Like, I was able to go through and pick the bad options without feeling too awful, but I feel like a jerk doing this to Shizuo! 😭
And I really like Izaya actually and still felt a bit guilty purposely going for bad endings, but it didn't feel nearly as bad when it was him somehow. 😅
We’re glad you’re enjoying Shizuo’s route so far! And yes, it hurt making Shizuo’s bad ends but not so much with Izaya. I wonder why…because he’s a jerk lol
We’re actually starting to work on part two, so I’m hoping we can release it this summer or early in the fall. :)
Thank you for playing!

Hello! I finally just got around to playing the finalized normal route and all of Izaya's route, and I just wanted to take a moment to really convey my gratitude. Ever since I stumbled upon this blog, I've been hooked on this game and its progress, and I was absolutely blown away by how it turned out. It's obvious just how much effort went into it, and I think it's crazy that it doesn't receive more attention and is entirely free to play. It was such a fun experience, even if it was difficult dodging the bad endings, but that just added to it and made it all the more entertaining. I feel so lucky to have found out about this fangame and want you and everyone who helped make it to know that you've made/are making something amazing. Thank you so much, as both a Durarara!! fan and an Izaya-enjoyer, for your contributions to the fandom and your efforts! I can't wait to see how the rest of the game turns out, and I'll absolutely stick around for future projects! <3
Not going to lie, this really touched our hearts. The fact that you took the time to write all this out is a gift in itself, but since we consider IR kind of an important debut project for us, we’re overjoyed that you’ll join us on this journey, however long it may be. We are extremely fortunate to have players like yourself, and you guys always make the nights of frustration worth it.
When we can’t get decide on the appearance of a CG (although Fi always manages to work her magic), when Ms and I get writer’s block, when the game engine is driving me mad, stuff like this makes it all worth it.
We have plenty of projects lined up, so we hope you enjoy them in the future as well!

Hey there, same anon from before about the possible glitch during the Red Flag 2 torture scene in Izaya's part two.
I redownloaded part two and skipped my way back to that scene and was able to continue further in the game. I'm guessing something might have happened when I downloaded it the first time on my end, because it seems fine now.
Sorry to bother you before!
You didn’t bother us at all, we’re always glad to hear any feedback regarding the game and glitches! The issue may have had something to do with TyranoBuilder, as other games I’ve played made with it had a similar issue that you reported. Honestly never going back to TyranoBuilder after we finished Ikebukuro Records.
We hope you enjoy Izaya’s part two and three! ^^
Any missing display boxes will now be visible, sprite issues have been fixed, and audio issues have been fixed. A new download for part 3 has been uploaded. Thank you for your patience!
Kicking myself rn because I found some issues in Izaya’s part 3. I’ll fix them soon and upload the updated version. Sorry about that, guys.
We only have Shizuo’s title screen and one character’s sprites (2 expressions) left to go. Once it’s finished, per usual we’ll do some bug testing, and send it out when it’s in the clear. It should be released this month, which is a lot sooner than I anticipated, but we’re very excited to continue the story of Ikebukuro Records.
Ikebukuro Records is looking like it will come to a close in 2024 with only Masaomi’s route left, which again, was earlier than I anticipated. Once Ikebukuro Records is completed, we will put “Completed Games” as our pinned post, so you can easily access all the parts and future games we finish.
Regarding the move to Ren’py: All routes of Ikebukuro Records will stay on TyranoBuilder. I’m more familiar with the game engine, therefore being able to put together parts faster. But when we release our first original game (the outline has been made, the script just has yet to be written), it will be made using Ren’py due to the game engine being more polished than TyranoBuilder and having a trustworthy export source. Additionally, after messing around with it, it should be a smooth transition.
Our format in games will eventually change gameplay wise, but we won’t be revealing the specifics until the time arrives. Nonetheless, we think you guys will like it.
Thank you for reading! We hope you’ve enjoyed your spring so far. (´ ᴗ｀✿)
Shizuo’s route will be more tame, right?
Yeah, it’s Shizuo!
I think so?
After Izaya’s route, I don’t trust you
See Resultszain-is-done2004 asked:
hello!! ive played all three of izaya's parts, and lemme say, they were amazing!! for a small group , this was excellently done and it was sooo engaging. the art, the plot and all the exposition was amazing in all three. i wanted to ask, does izaya's part three have only two endings? is there no "good" ending??
Thank you! We’re honored that you enjoyed the game! His part 3 actually has three endings, with the good ending being determined by if you clicked the right choices during the chase scene. If you click a wrong choice, you will get the bad ending. Dm me if you clicked all the right choices but got a bad ending anyway, it might be a glitch my team hasn’t found.
It’s been a long journey, but Izaya’s route is finished. We look forward to your thoughts on the endings and the conclusion to Izaya’s story in Ikebukuro Records. The password, as always, is Baccano.
Edit: As always, for newcomers, remember to play the normal route first! Password is MHFC.
