Len'en Game Archive Collection
Len'en Game Archive Collection is a community project in collecting an archive of every possible release of all the Len'en Project games, plus other games made by JynX. The reason behind this is that since JynX doesn't/is unable to make the archives of older versions of the games as they update them to the latest versions, preserving its history would be difficult and not everyone would have the opportunity to try the older versions, thus a fan-made archive collection was made. The project was initiated by Tony64 on 07/01/2022, and required community-wide contribution for various people to donate specific versions of the games, providing they had it.
EE-BPoHC
Archiving the shoot 'em up games (Evanescent Existence, Earthen Miraculous Sword, Reactivate Majestical Imperial and Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle) was primarily the priority as these are the oldest games in the series. Fools Rush In was included as part of the collection on 31/01/2022. It was officially completed on 16 Jan 2024 when the first RMI trial was found. The following are original releases of the games that are not modded or patched with a translation.

EE & EMS Trial | Lenen_Trial | 6 Feb 2022 | JynX | Popfan turned to JynX asking JynX if they'd be willing to share this. However, they refused to co-operate because of bugs and glitches, and feared that releasing these officially would undermine the latest versions. After a reconsidering, however, JynX linked to "someone" who uploaded the trial version to a file hosting website, having them re-released off-the-record for 1 week due to popular demand.[1] | Lenen_Trial.zip (Mega.nz) | Lenen_Trial.zip (Google Drive) | GigaFile "found" by Totally-Not-JynX (Dead link) |

RMI Trial v0.01a | 鏈縁霊烈傳_体験版 | 16 Jan 2024 | Duskia | Originally considered impossible to archive by the English fanbase, Popfan contacted Duskia who contacted a Japanese anonymous named "Yadokari" who actually had the comiket version of the game. They didn't want to release it without JynX's permission, so after asking, JynX gave the green light for the anon to pass the trial to Duskia.[2] | 鏈縁霊烈傳_体験版.zip (Mega.nz) | ||
RMI Trial v0.50a | Le03_0_50a | 29 Jan 2022 | Tony64 | Unlike the other entires here that were found via Baidu Tieba, this one took an extreme amount of research in finding a download link.

BPoHC v1.10b | Le04_1_10b | 27 Mar 2022 | Popfan | Since a lot of people only had the English patch version of v1.10b, this had to be restored into its unmodified state. Restoration was by Tony64. | Le04_1_10b.7z (Mega.nz) | ||
BPoHC v1.20a | Le04_1_20a | 1 Mar 2022 | Choon | Found on an old backup drive. One of the file's name was in mojibake, but it was fixed accordingly before being sent to the archives. | Le04_1_20a.7z (Mega.nz) | ||
BPoHC v1.20b | Le04_1_20b | 24 Mar 2022 | Bryce Davonport | Considered a rare version, this was officially public for no more than 24 hours.

Book of the Cafe
Attention: This section is a stub because Para is lacking knowledge! You can help the Len'en Wiki by expanding it with more knowledge! |
Archiving Book of the Cafe has been a huge struggle for two main reasons. It requires advanced understanding of optaining .apk files. More worringly from version 0.2.20 onwards, some of the game's data was moved to a server to allow JynX to store as much content as possible without changing the app's size limit.[3] This especially caused archiving the game much more trouble as specific versions relied on the server to work.
The following is a list of versions in .apk format that were managed to be archived. Take note that:
- The name of the app remains the same regardless of the version (e.g.
Le_CAFE_alpha.apk
), so they have been renamed here to their appropriate version. - Beta versions may come with multiple .apk files that need to be installed in a bundle.
- The .apk files may come in either 32-bit or 64-bit format that is not always cross-compatible on all Android phones.
