Yougekitai: Jashin Koumaroku

About

You run a paranormal detective agency in 1990s Tokyo tracking demons and urban legends. Assign staff to research projects, manage schedules, and dispatch teams to investigate supernatural disturbances. Shift between base management and turn-based dungeon crawls where you fight foes using skills like forensic analysis or psychic abilities. Each new game randomly generates team members and partially randomizes mission options, encouraging different strategies across playthroughs. The blend of administrative planning and tactical combat stands out, with over 50 staff members to recruit and balance. Though obscure outside Japan, it retains a cult following for its quirky mythological threats and management depth. Built for the PC-9800 platform, its dated visuals contrast with a surprisingly modern approach to team-based strategy.
