Play Hourai Gakuen no Bouken! (english translation) Online

Hourai Gakuen no Bouken! came out for the Super Nintendo in 1996, published by J-Wing. It's one of those late era Japanese exclusives that never left the country, a quirky action RPG that feels very much of its time. You play as a student navigating a school full of supernatural oddities, a premise that was not uncommon but always ripe for strange interpretations.

You control a young girl exploring the school grounds screen by screen, talking to other students and faculty to uncover the central mystery. Combat is simple; you swing your weapon at ghosts and other enemies that get in your way. The main objective involves completing various quests, often fetching items or solving minor puzzles to progress. The pacing is deliberate, sometimes meandering, with a difficulty that spikes unexpectedly in certain areas. It feels like poking around a bizarre, slightly broken world where anything might happen next.
