While I was scrolling BlueSky, I came across a trend that mentioned posting a game you feel as if you’re the only person who played it.

Danger Girl came to mind. I asked my mother to buy it for me because I liked the box art. It wasn’t my cup of tea, at the time, nor did I know it was based on comics, but older me wants to revisit it now. 👀

The cover art for the PlayStation game "Danger Girl" features three women in action poses against a purple background. The title "Danger Girl" is written in stylized red and white letters with a blue target symbol behind it. The woman on the left has dark hair and is wearing a shiny black catsuit, holding a whip. The woman in the center has blonde hair and is wearing a white top, blue and green pants, and pointing a gun forward. The woman on the right has blonde hair pulled back and is wearing a red tank top and yellow cargo pants, holding a large weapon. The PlayStation logo is visible at the top left and bottom center of the cover. Various rating logos and the THQ logo are also present.

So, how have I never come across this game before?

Kowai shashin: Shinrei Shashin Kitan (scary photograph(s): Ghost Photo Tales)* seems like a fascinating #PS1 horror game that I will add to my Obon list.

The game is prohibitively expensive because it is allegedly Haunted for really reals. But why doesn't this game make the usual horror game lists? We often see Fatal Frame, Clock Tower, etc. But I can't think of an instance where this game has been talked about on those typical listicles.

I feel I need to investigate spirit photography a bit more, in general, and not just in this game...

My limited experience with Japanese ghost stories is that they typically have absolutely zero chill, so this could be a disturbing time.

*lazily translated, kitan is in this instance is probably more like mysteries than tales.

The box art for kowai shashin. It is shows a picture of a bed in a weird blue overlay, at the bottom of the picture is a weird blue orb and some ethereal looking hands.

So, Kingsley's Adventure for #PS1 is a good example of picking a game to play on a whim. I saw the thumbnail, title screen, and a screenshot and I knew I had to play it.
It has a fox with a sword! How could I say no?!

Playing as Kingsley the fox, we are saving the fruit kingdom from Bad Custard, who has stolen the book of magic from the castle.

The game has a lot of charm. From the character models to the environment design, the music. All these things set you up for a good time... Until you start wrestling with the controls. Tanky control in a platformer is a choice I don't agree with. The jumping at times will be your biggest hurdle as it can be difficult to gauge distances.

If the controls don't turn you off, the game itself is a decent little jaunt. It's under baked in places, combat is basic, villages are populated by devoid of additional content besides finding the right person to talk to.

It wasn't a bad way to spend my Sunday.

The box art and the opening title screen of Kingsley's Adventure. It features a fox in a blue tunic with a sword and shield charging the foreground. In the background is a sinister smiling face overlooking Kingsley.
A screenshot from Kingsley's Adventure. Kingsley, a tiny fox, is talking to Queen Adeline, a towering character, saying he will defeat Bad Custard and become a true Knight.
A screenshot from Kingsley's Adventure. Kingsley is in the castle basement, a crazy looking spider is slowly approaching Kingsley. In the room is also a treasure chest.
