Dunno how many people on GAF enjoy a good adventure game...or a good adventure game in the horror genre...but if they are anywhere they will be here.
I remember seeing screenshots of Dead of the Brain like over a decade ago...then I found out it was the last official release on the PC Engine in Japan...and I was intrigued. So I picked it up on PC Engine then on PC 98 out of Japan. Problem was...I don't speak Japanese lol. So it was a really fun game to experience VISUALLY...but the story was basically just whatever I imagined it to be.
Recently though the first part (There is a Dead of the Brain 2) got a fan translation...so now the story actually exists...and damn is it a good game! Super gory, great soundtrack and a plot that is a mix of Reanimator and Return of the Living Dead. Which if you've seen those movies you will instantly get the vibe Dead of the Brain is throwing around.
Can't recommend it enough for Halloween and/or adventure game fans
But GAF...what are the best Japanese PC exclusives? Any generation is fine...they just need to be kept in Japan. Because I always get great convos and recommendations here!
