Hyper Euphoria

Hyper Euphoria is an adventure game in which you advance the story by choosing commands such as “Look,” “Search” and “Talk.” You play as detectives Mayuka Tendo and Elizabeth Tsuchigami, who have an ability called “Hyper Psychokinesis.” They investigate a series of murders, beginning with a body that suddenly explodes in Suiyo Park in H City, Saitama Prefecture.

The investigation

The local police conclude that the explosion was a murder involving psychokinesis and commission the two “Psychokinetic Detectives” to investigate. Their inquiry takes them from Saitama Prefecture to Yamaguchi Prefecture and then Hiroshima Prefecture, where they discover what awaits them. The story spans three chapters and takes about three hours to complete.

Adventure features

The game’s pixel art and presentation are reminiscent of popular Japanese PC adventure games from the late 1980s. An easy-to-use backlog saves the commands you selected as well as the messages, so you can review both. After clearing the game, you can access epilogue content and a music mode. The soundtrack uses an FM sound source and features Shinichi Sakamoto, Shinji Hosoe and Ayako Sasō. The visuals are by Kodama Dai Gattai.
