3x3 Eyes: Sanjiyan Henjou

About

You play as Kenichi Yamamoto a high schooler caught in a supernatural mess. After stumbling into a world of three-eyed demons Kenichi teams up with Pai and Yakumo to break free from cursed ties. The game uses simple menu commands to explore dialogue and movement while animated scenes and voice acting bring the story to life. It follows a side plot from the larger 3x3 Eyes mythos letting you experience a lesser known chapter of its immortal conflicts. Released in 1993 this one is a relic for series completists. Its PC-9800 roots show in dated visuals but the branching narrative holds up as a curious early visual novel. With ports on multiple 90s platforms including TurboGrafx-16 it remains a niche pick for fans tracing the franchise’s history. The story diverges from mainline canon offering a fresh take on familiar characters without assuming prior knowledge.

Storyline

This game can be considered a side-story to the series. The player does not control Yakumo, but an ordinary high-school student named Kenichi Yamamoto. Accidentally, Kenichi comes into contact with the world of demons, and now he needs the help of Pai and Yakumo to be freed. The gameplay is standard Japanese-style adventure. The player interacts with the game world by selecting menu commands "Look", "Talk", and "Move". The game features animated cutscenes and (in its console incarnation) voice-overs.
