Yougekitai: Jashin Koumaroku

As the newest member of a paranormal detective group operating in the greater Tokyo area, it’s your responsibility to help keep modern-day Japan safe from demons, monsters, ghosts, and various mythological figures. Manage your coworkers’ schedules to conduct research & development, investigate reports of local anomalies, and venture out to fight and detain evildoers. Succeed at these tasks and you might come closer to solving the mysteries and conspiracy behind this earthly invasion!

Yougekitai is a 1993 Telenet DRPG/strategic simulation game where you run an agency of professionals tracking and containing dangerous entities in bubble-era Japan. The game switches between your headquarters, where you oversee day-to-day operations, and dungeons where you & your party fight enemies and explore for items or information. Character abilities range in exploration and combat, from forensics to ESP powers. While the game’s story has a set cast, your selection of team members is randomized upon starting a new game, and mission choices also get semi-randomized per playthrough.
