Rumors have been circulating about a Role-Playing Game for the TS (a portable game system that looks suspiciously familiar) that has recently grown in popularity; people say that the game is cursed. The rumor goes that if someone doesn't complete the RPG in a certain number of days, they will die.You are one of those who have played the game.You didn't put much stock in the rumors at first until you visit your friend Odaka's apartment and find him dead. Suddenly, you realize that the things that happen in the game are happening to you in real life, and death is approaching you. As the clock ticks down, can you find a way to escape the curse?Nanashi no Game ("The Game with No Name" or "The Nameless Game") is a Survival Horror game by Square Enix for the Nintendo DS that takes place in two worlds: the real world, and the 8-bit game world of the cursed RPG. The actions taken in the game world give clues to what's happening in the story, while the real world has you exploring places while avoiding the ghosts of previous victims. A sequel, known as Nanashi no Game: Me (the subtitle translating to "Eye"), features a new protagonist, the cursed RPG, and a cursed platformer, was also released for the DS, and counts with independent versions of both cursed games, subtitled as Chi ("Blood") and Goku ("Prison") on DSiWare.In January 2012, Square Enix also released two spinoffs of the series called Nanashi no App and 774 Deaths for iOS and Android, which follow the same pattern of story of the previous games but now with an unavoidable downloadable app for your smartphone which messes around your camera and mail apps, in which you need to try to resolve not only the mystery but also try to save your life.It is also suggested for those who truly enjoy horror games to listen to the game with earphones.

Offscreen Teleportation: When you are trying to escape from the Bloody Man, he keeps appearing in every corner to get you. It's probably justified that Yutani, as an adult, is much faster than Asahi, or that this flashback event is also based on a child's memory.

The Call Knows Where You Live: Once your character gets the game on their TS, they find it impossible to escape from it. And Ohyama did his best to ignore it, as part of an experiment, attempting to resolve the mystery directly; it goes as perfect as you would expect from it.

The situation in which Utasoft seemed to be involved: being close to bankruptcy, with the hopes of doing just one game that could save the company, it being a JRPG game which title has a Meaningful Name for both the director and the company. Sound familiar? This is how Final Fantasy saved Squaresoft back in the 80s. However, this took a very dark turn for Utasoft.

Multiple Endings Nanashi no Game Bittersweet Ending: The protagonist manages to break the curse on them and survives past the seven day deadline and has helped Asahi Ikuta come to terms with things. However, the protagonist's friends are still dead. Golden Ending: Accomplished by getting all six hidden items in the game, the ending is similar to the regular. Except that the protagonist has managed to properly allow Asahi to reconcile with her father. Nanashi no Game: Me Bittersweet Ending: The regular ending, with the protagonist once again managing to survive. They also helped Akane see the truth about Naoki and Kenta's deaths, allowing them to move on. Unfortunately, the protagonist's girlfriend is still in a coma and the protagonist's TS sends the game... to the player. Golden Ending: Which turns out to be a downer. Similar to the regular ending, except it expands on the girlfriend situation. It turns out that the protagonist's girlfriend has become the next host for whatever is causing the curse of the game and the only way to awaken her is by killing him. And the TS sends the game to everyone.

The bad end of the first game has a song that reminisces the earlier RPGs for the NES, meanwhile the good end has one that it's pretty much like a orchestral song from Square Enix 2000s games.

comment
Nightmare Fetishist: Professor Ohyama, and his colleague, Professor Kawagoe, are quite eccentric when trying to prove a point... and they can become very obsessed to it. They even end up sending their students to investigate places at unnerving hours of the night without even making enough research about those. Ohyama even puts himself as a guinea pig to see what could happen if he ignored the game for a whole week. And, well, he died. Kawagoe later mentions that he would've loved to be in his position, but Ohyama replies that the reason he couldn't is because Kawagoe believes too much on the Occult... compared to him, as he balanced his Science and Paranormal beliefs on his theories.

You ALL Look Familiar: Justified in the RPG segments, with the NPCs' designs in all their 8-bit glory. The Regrets, however, are some of the few victims of the game (more explicitly, it's implied that the recurrent Regrets of the first game are the game developers, the others from the sequel, though, are the victims of the places the main character has to go through) .

Sequel Escalation: Oh brother, Me. Besides empowering the protagonist's left eye and introducing another game-within-a-game, there's the sheer number of new Regrets (that may or may not be visible!) introduced, showing just how widespread the cursed game's effects have become that makes last game's dev team's ordeal miniscule in comparison and that's not even getting to what the Golden Ending does...

Four Is Death
 Nanashi no Game (Video Game) / int_471a505f
comment
Four Is Death: These are horror survival games that take place in Japan, after all. The first game is overloaded with these: On the second day, the creepy and bloody abandoned train cars that Riko walks through are all labeled as "Car 4". Mercy General Hospital, on day 3, has been closed for four years. Utasoft is on the fourth floor of Nakano Broadway, and it has also been bankrupt for four years, which you find out from the fourth e-mail you receive on the fourth day. The protagonist's girlfriend enters into a coma on the fourth day of Me. And during the "golden" ending, she eventually is chosen to be the new "proxy" of the "thing" that cursed the game. The title "Nanashi no Game" plays on the association between four and death - it can be read as "na-nashi no game", "The Game with no Name", but it can also be read as "nana-shi no game", "The game that kills you in seven days". The title "774 Deaths" is quite redundant with its name's translation.

I See Dead People: Every victim who has played the cursed game will see the Regrets. Or, in the case of Me's hero, he is the only person of his acquaintances that can only see them at first with his left eye (and it gets worse, since there are also invisible Regrets).

 Nanashi no Game (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Asahi, "sunrise". Ushio (Ikuta's first name) means "ocean". "Regret" is the name Ohyama thinks for the ghosts. They manifest and channel the hatred and resentment of the victim, making them "regret" of whatever mistake they did when they were alive.

Driven to Suicide: Naoki eventually died by jumping off the Nanto Sunshine Academy's roof (out of guilt), after witnessing Kenta and Akane's deaths. He was actually trying to kill himself after finding out the two were dating, but with the cursed RPG on mind, he wanted them to suffer, as well.

In Me, the important triangle in the game is the one between Akane and her friends, Naoki and Kenta. Akane and Naoki grew up together Like Brother and Sister, and Kenta was Naoki's best friend. While Naoki falls for Akane, she reveals that she is in love with Kenta, and they start dating, which makes Naoki sad and depressed, because that meant that Akane would still see him as a "sibling". As a form of revenge, he wanted Akane and Kenta to play the same "cursed" game as he did... ending with bad and worse results.

From Bad to Worse
 Nanashi no Game (Video Game) / int_7870735b
comment
From Bad to Worse: Day one of the first game starts with the main character finding their best friend, dead. And they are also cursed. Then their other best friend dies being killed by her boyfriend's ghost, little by little, mysteries get solved... while others don't, and by the end of the sixth day, their professor is found out to be another victim of the game as well. Me follows a similar pattern as well. In Day One, the protagonist finds out that his best friend died because of the cursed game, it gets transferred to his TS... only to go to a previous victim's apartment to research about the cursed game, and getting one of his eyes cursed by a ghost... and then, everything gets weirder and worse from there. You then find out that there is not only one ghost, but two... and then your girlfriend falls into a coma...).

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Where is Nanto supposed to be? Nara? Tokyo? Fukuoka District? Or is it actually a combination of those places (Nanto is, in fact, another name for Nara, but...)? It doesn't help with the cameo of real locations such as Famille Tenjin (in name only) or Nakano Broadway (the Nanashi no Game's developers changed minor details to the location, though).

It's All Upstairs From Here: The Seven Capes lighthouse, in the first game, becomes a meta example similar to an RPG tower level/dungeon, where you only have to reach out Asahi. Karaoke Club Utaya is a similar "tower dungeon" where your main mission in there is finding out why Ohyama was investigating it. And little by little, it is revealed that a series of incidents related to the cursed game happened in there as well, forcing to close down the club.

Eldritch Abomination: It's not clear what is the real identity of the thing that lures Me's hero into its trap. It could be either what has been left of Asahi's resentment or it could also be an entity that just wants a body to keep playing its endless killing "game". The game, however, suggests that it has been using humans even before Asahi, if the graveyard's underground prison (and its out-of-time prisoner Regret) is enough proof to support it.

Bloody Handprint: They are all over the place inside Mercy General Hospital. And as long as you investigate deeper, you realize that the rumors about its illegal medical practices are definitely true. These serve as part of a jump scare thanks to Red Akane, as soon as you are trying to find out something useful for your investigation. The handprints also get a new role during Me, since your left eye finds two variations. The ones that are white help you, mostly to resolve puzzles in the RPG world, while the red ones block your way until you complete the platformer levels.

Enemy-Detecting Radar: During the original game's playthrough, the TS would detect the Regrets with static. The closer they are, the sound gets much noisier. Instead of using the TS, Me's protagonist had his eye cursed. As such, similar to the static, it will react depending on how closer the ghosts are from him.

Abandoned Hospital: Day 3 takes place at the Mercy General Hospital, a place that was abandoned four years prior the events of the original game due to rumors of illegal medical practices. It's the only place that is distributing the game. How? Well... This is also the point when the ghosts or "Regrets" start appearing. A year after, during the events of Me, the same hospital plays an important part on it as well, until Day 6. However, the building seems to have an upgrade (for better or worse) on its appearance since this is where you find a comatose Akane.

Adults Are Useless: Sort of.

It is possibly justified by the fact that he was trying to find out what happened if he didn't play the game and/or investigate the curse himself.

Fate Worse than Death: Victims of the game reappear later as ghosts called "Regrets". The dev team fits this trope, though one programmer takes solace in that she can "listen to the song I wrote". Say, you have a dark and sad past? You feel resentment towards someone? Is it involved in some way with the game? And now you are in a coma or you are dead? Sure, no problem! You can be the next host of the game itself!

comment
Cue the Rain: It's mostly present to give a certain atmosphere in Me. Once you are close to arrive at the apartment complex where Ohyama lived, you are not only received by the rain... but also by an angry ghost wearing a red dress. There was a heavy rain during the evening when Akane witnessed Kenta's death.

Love Triangle
 Nanashi no Game (Video Game) / int_b7e0c5ff
comment
Love Triangle: Depending on the gender you select in the first game, your hero/heroine learns that either Odaka was jealous of your friendship with Riko or Odaka found Riko irritating and was secretly pining after you instead. In Me, the important triangle in the game is the one between Akane and her friends, Naoki and Kenta. Akane and Naoki grew up together Like Brother and Sister, and Kenta was Naoki's best friend. While Naoki falls for Akane, she reveals that she is in love with Kenta, and they start dating, which makes Naoki sad and depressed, because that meant that Akane would still see him as a "sibling". As a form of revenge, he wanted Akane and Kenta to play the same "cursed" game as he did... ending with bad and worse results. Perhaps it was fault of the cursed game, or perhaps not... but it is also implied in Me, that the protagonist's friend had feelings for his girlfriend.

Kawagoe later mentions that he would've loved to be in his position, but Ohyama replies that the reason he couldn't is because Kawagoe believes too much on the Occult... compared to him, as he balanced his Science and Paranormal beliefs on his theories.

Jump Scare
 Nanashi no Game (Video Game) / int_c04b1231
comment
Jump Scare: For this reason, the game suggests to use earphones to experience the games' 3D sound. You know the scare will come for you, and when it happens, it will keep scaring you, no matter if it's only a cat scare or... a ghost's breath behind you. Some are pretty unexpected, like objects falling from the sky with the size of a tricycle, or some windows getting crashed. The noticeable ones are when Riko and Ohyama come for you. Riko's ghost attacks you in the hospital, cue one of the scarier chase scenes of the game; you not only see when Ohyama transforms into a Regret, but he will also run up to you... and he is pretty fast, so you have to react quick, because your running controls are useless.

Mister Exposition: Professor Ohyama serves as such since he is teaching a seminar related to "transmedia", and so he is developing an theory around the true nature of the urban legend of this "cursed game". A colleague of his, Professor Kawagoe serves the same type of role as well on "Me" yet he already knew about the cursed game because Ohyama told him about it.

Creepy Cemetery: The Southern Temple of Rest has a shrine and a graveyard where both Naoki and Kenta rest. It's not only creepy because of the Regrets that lurk around, but also because its underground has a dungeon-like prison that was probably last used a century ago.

Shout-Out
 Nanashi no Game (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The RPG 8-bit song is clearly influenced by Dragon Quest's Unknown World Map's song. Here is the Dragon Quest I & II's version to compare. The RPG's graphics themselves use Dragon Quest map tile designs coupled with NES Final Fantasy characters. The fan translation did an interesting one in the Famille Tenjin apartment complex. Odaka's neighbors are named Mikami, Kikuchi, and Toyama. Ooyama states that there have been plenty of odd deaths related to media, such as newspapers, pirate radio broadcasts, and notebooks. When Ooyama makes you to link network origins for the cursed game uploads, your options include s-yamamura.ts.ip, a-yamazaki.ts.ip, and r-nishina.ts.ip. The Ikuta residence has a staircase that bends around a corner. If you're even mildly familiar with Ju On, you will expect a scare involving it. It does happen, but not in the way you would expect. Instead, you yourself flee frantically down the stairs, playing as a little girl escaping from the man who butchered her mother. The ultimate bad ending of the sequel has a jazz cover of the original Nanashi no Game music track that evokes a certain series with a Gainax Ending too. The music of the original game's ending. The bad ending is much more reminiscent to the music of old Square or Enix games' for the NES. The good ending, however, sounds like it can come from any of the Final Fantasy 3D games, making it much more heartwarming.

It's Up to You: Ohyama is intent on always making the protagonist investigate any of the locations for potential clues on how to break their curse. Ohyama does this to see if him keeping out of investigating it himself would break the curse on him. In Me, it's at least somewhat justified: the protagonist's eye has the ability to see Regrets and is said that, because of this, it'll be much easier to link his soul with Akane's and help her than for someone else.

Hell Hotel: Capeside Hotel has seen better days in the past, since the main character from the original game finds it in ruins. This is suggested to be the last place where Asahi escaped to, since it was linked to her happy memories with her family. Kuento Hotel looks in a better shape than Capeside, if only because it was abandoned a year prior the story of Me. And its visitors' deaths are related to the cursed game as well.

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: The bad ending of the first game suggests that, unless you didn't save Asahi from her hatred feelings towards her dad, the cursed RPG is transferred from the protagonist TS to yours. The Downer Ending from Me puts the bad ending from the other game in a new light: having the hero out of the way, the cursed RPG is transmitted from his TS to everyone else's.
