deSpiria

released on Sep 12, 2000

deSpiria is an RPG adventure that takes place in the futuristic Japan of 2070. Twenty-two years after the World War III, an organization known as Church has taken power. You play as Allure Valentine, a girl who was recruited by the Church as an undercover agent. On one of her missions, Allure boards a train that crashes shortly thereafter. Her first task will be to find a way out of the underground tunnel and to discover who or what was behind that crash. The game is a RPG with elements of pure adventure. The entire game is viewed from first-person perspective. You fight enemies in turn-based battles, but instead of usual party you have several "minds", a kind of summoned monsters who will fight together with Allure. They will heal or attack the enemy using special "mind attacks" of various elements - love, curse, etc. In adventure mode, you explore the environments by pressing the A button, which will highlight objects you can interact with. The movements are shown as short CG sequences, similar to many Western-style adventures.

game has vibes for days. mainly due to the world created here with some help from a very cool dark ambient soundtrack. borderline visual novel with some gorgeous prerendered graphics. first person with adventure and rpg elements. you're an agent for the Church and you can read minds and have "mind battles." i can see why it was never localized (too much text and religious aspects and overall very obtuse).

one of the worst dreamcast games ofa ll time. just stay away honestly, absolutely awful

have not played this, though i hope to one day. just wanted to point out that i am glad nobody on igdb has fucked up the box art i slapped together for it. also wanted to use this as a space to share the box art i cropped, edited, etc. and submitted to igdb at one point, though some of it has since been replaced with bad garbage pics. (note: i don't fuck with igdb anymore, but if anyone wants to try resubmitting any of these, feel free.) https://imgur.com/a/OP0tsKB
