Finally playable in English Linda Cubeor Linda³ Againone of the weirdest Japanese horror role-playing games ever, originally released on PC Engine CD in 1995, then ported to the Sega Saturn and PlayStation (published by SCEI). Until now it was only playable in Japanese.
Set in New Kenya, it is defined as a psycho-thriller with animal hunting. Created by Shoji Masuda (Tengai Makyou), was divided into three timelines, all with different stories. The protagonist must become a kind of Noah, collecting pairs of animals and bringing them to his ark, before a meteorite hits the planet. The name of the game comes from the protagonist's lover, Linda, who is different in each of the three stories. In short, we are talking about a truly crazy title.

The various editions
The PC Engine edition came out at the end of the console's lifecycle and was rated Mature due to the extreme violence it contained. In 1997 it was converted for PlayStation, which is the most famous version. The Sega Saturn version came out in 1998, with additional content.
Nowadays it happens more rarely, but in the past it was common for Japanese role-playing games not to leave their homeland, due to the limited market they had in the West. There are a large number of titles that have never been translated, with many more that have become available in the West thanks to the dedication of fans.
