The game is otherwise a fairly traditional 8-bit RPG, though it does feature uncommon aspects such as being able to see enemies while walking around (as opposed to the then-usual random encounters) and a regularly-proportioned adult protagonist. There is also no overworld map - both the towns and monster-infested wilderness are directly connected. It was never released outside of Japan. | {{nihongo|'''Hyakki Yakou'''|百鬼夜行}} is an [[RPG]] published by [[Use]] for the [[Famicom]] in [[1989]] that is based on ''Hyakki Yakou'', or "Night Parade of the 100 Demons", a Japanese festival akin to Halloween. {{wp|Hyakki Yagyō}} is an idiom in Japanese folklore. Sometimes an orderly procession, other times a riot, it refers to an uncontrolled horde of countless numbers of supernatural creatures known as oni and yōkai. As a terrifying eruption of the supernatural world into our own, it is similar (though not precisely equivalent) to the concept of pandemonium in English. | ||
