Ningyo no Rakuin (2000)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Strategy
Themes:Horror
Story:Ningyo no Rakuin is a tactical horror RPG inspired by the works of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Between the fanatical quasi-human tribesmen, the Deep Ones rising from beneath the waves, and the grad student from Miskatonic University, there are more references to the Mythos than you can shake a shoggoth at. The plot itself is fast-paced, centering first on surviving the dangers of the island and later on rescuing the main character's girlfriend from a particularly nasty fate involving an unnamed Elder God and a transformation into a fishy abomination. Elements of the storyline play out before and after (and sometimes during) each battle, and the interludes between battle chapters include a short summary of recent events leading up to the current plot point.Show more

A Classic we never got outside Japan where you land on a Innsmouth-esque Island and have to fight Lovecraftian Monsters, Deep One Cultists, and other shenanigans. Also known as Mark of the Mermaid in English. Has branching paths and multiple endings, incentivizing multiple playthroughs. Horror RPGs are a rare combo despite how insanely well they can meld (See Shadow Hearts for a great example.), and quite frankly we need more of them.
