Beroncho Shintai Kensa

Released by HARD in 1990, "Beroncho Shintai Kensa - Joshi Koukou-hen" is the first entry in the "Beroncho" series for the PC-8801. Set in an all-girls boarding school, this title blends adventure gaming with RPG-style exploration as the protagonist gets to the bottom of a mysterious nightly "secret physical examination." It serves as a quintessential example of the unique aesthetic found in bishoujo games of the era, further highlighted by the inclusion of the "Peroncho Baseball Rock-Paper-Scissors Sugoroku" board game in the package. This game remains a valuable artifact, offering a glimpse into the playful and distinct culture of Japanese PC gaming from the late 80s and early 90s.

Nanako, a girl who has just transferred to St. Beroncho Academy, hears rumors about a mysterious "secret physical examination" being conducted throughout the school every night. Determined to uncover the truth behind these strange occurrences, she begins exploring the school grounds to reveal its hidden secrets. This adventure game tasks players with navigating the claustrophobic environment of an all-girls school while uncovering the bizarre phenomena lurking within.
