猟奇の檻

Released in 1995 by Japan Plantech, this title is a gritty suspense adventure centered on a series of disappearances plaguing a large department store. While it incorporates the "time progression" system popular at the time, the game stands out for its grotesque, mature narrative and the sensual character designs by Mamoru Yokota. Known for its punishingly high difficulty, the game remains a legendary entry in the mystery adventure genre, celebrated today for its unique atmosphere and tension-filled design.

For the past 15 years, the Reishiki Department Store, which operates 16 branches across Japan, has been plagued by a series of mysterious disappearances at its main store. With police investigations hitting dead ends, the head of the company, Makoto Reishiki, assigns Kuniharu Yotake—an ordinary young man from a branch store—to the main office for a secret investigation. As the protagonist, Yotake must juggle his daily work duties while uncovering the suspicious relationships and bizarre events hidden within the building to solve the terrifying truth behind the store.
