Tondemo Crisis! is a family-focused adventure game for PlayStation. Players navigate various challenges as family members attempt to return home in time for grandmother Haruko's birthday. Despite their best intentions, unforeseen events create obstacles, forcing Taneo, Etsuko, Ririka, and Tsuyoshi to find creative solutions to honor Haruko's special day.
It is grandmother Haruko's birthday. She wants everyone home early for her special day: the day that serves as a reminder that she has been alive for more years than she can remember. Unfortunately, her family has completely forgotten and make up last-minute birthday promises to Haruko. The game begins like any other normal day for the family members - father Taneo, mother Etsuko, daughter Ririka, and son Tsuyoshi - until strings of events stand as obstacles in their way of returning to Haruko's with the presents.
