This is an enjoyable way to replay Wandering Hamster again :) Music tracks might seem quiet, but that's perfect for the layering when multiple sound effects and music play at once (multiple voices in the music would be cool). It's not complete; I assume you weren't intending people to play very far!
For a OHR Otaku relaunch, this one sure has a lot of dead links.

Sound was a bit quiet, but I was careful to not have the music overpower the SFX. Also, I worked on it in both Windows and Ubuntu on the same laptop, and Linux is waaaaaay louder than Windows, so I tried to master it somewhere in the middle where you could hear it in Windows but not blow the speakers on my Linux install.
Multitrack voice was considered at one point but I didn't have the time for it. There IS a version of the title intro track where I put lyrics to the intro scenes, but I didn't like it so I reverted it back to a singletrack.
For the OHR Otaku part of this joke, that was also a victim of time constraints. I intended all the links to work and all have their own jokes!
I actually wanted to record some more tracks at the last second, but then Windows 10 suddenly updated and it took 6 hours to finish, so I had to release what I had.
Easter eggs:
Dogero is wandering around Flanat, and he does the the 3-textboxes thing from Jade and has his face emoticon.
My cameo as the Esperanto Club guy has my actual voice for the wubbawubbas for text.
The title screen only saying the title once was accomplished by recording the phrase and then inserting 5 and a half minutes of silence in the OGG file!

Ah, I missed those easter eggs!
EDIT:
Hey look, I found the original official announcement of the OHR Otaku re-re-launch

I just realized one of those game download links still works! I'm playing it in DOSbox at the moment.

You mean a game linked to from the OHR Helpme forum mirrored on archive.org? There are still quite a lot of websites from 10 years ago with working downloads for OHR games, probably many of those webpages aren't linked to from anywhere anymore.
Unfortunately the link I posted yesterday has already gone offline. The Internet Wayback Machine doesn't have redundant copies of data on front-facing servers, so stuff continuously becomes temporarily unavailable as servers go down.
