Barnstorming proto-survival horror RPG with some genuinely scary moments, rare for an early NES game which is probably why it never made it to Western shores. Based on the barking mad movie Hausu, take control of five young explorers trapped in a spooky mansion by a vengeful spirit. Unlike most RPGs each character is relatively unique, only able to hold one special item essential to progress. It's a major challenge juggling the items and switching between characters but well worth it. Track down a fan translation if you can.
