Seirei Gari

Seirei Gari (“Ghost Hunter”) is a menu-based adventure game in which Michimune has to rescue his fiancée from the tyrannical ghost Rosencreutz. Michimune travels the world following the ghost’s trail, eventually ending up in the legendary land of Shambala.

The game is a traditional Japanese adventure game, where the player uses menu commands to explore their environments and talk to NPCs. In order to proceed, the player must complete puzzles that unlock the path forward. They can receive hints from Professor Kiyojo, an academic that has been studying Rosencreutz who meets Michimune in the hospital once the latter awakens after being defeated and left for dead during the kidnapping.

While the original game never left Japan, it did receive an unofficial fan translation in 2007.
