P3 was a cope of fatlus after realising that good jrpgs aren't suitable for modern gaymers after the failure of both Nocturne and DDS. This is why P3 features death so heavily. They were coping trying to appeal to the masses and otaku loved it. Which is ironic cause the themes of death in the end reflected the state fatlus were in - dead. After that they just became empty shells of what they used to be. Akin to victims of the apathy syndrom from P3.
Thanks for suggestion, I will try to check that.
Nijuuei takes place in medieval Japan. The protagonist of the story is a samurai named Sogen who suffers from a split personality. One fine day, some strange creature settled in the body of a samurai - since then, Sogen has been tormented by voices in his head and terrible visions. And sometimes it seems to him that someone's face is trying to escape right from his chest. In addition, Sogen began to notice that he had a second shadow. How to get rid of this curse? The search for an answer to this question leads Sogen to the small island of Awashima - but it would be better if he did not come there. After the arrival of Sogen, inexplicable events begin to happen on the island...
Nijuuei manages to combine absolutely incompatible things: samurai themes, psychological horror, kawaii anime girls with bunny ears, grotesque monsters, hentai scenes, Japanese mythology, bloody murders and other kosher things. The picture is completed by no less schizophrenic musical accompaniment, combining traditional Japanese music, trip-hop, ambient, brutal horror noise (in the style of early Akira Yamaoka) and some wild acid trance. All in all, an absolutely crazy game.

"No Reality" seems right up my alley. Takes me back to the late 90's early 2000s era where there was more variety in arti style, and games topics were less uniform.Iwazaru wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2023 8:33 am
