Zettai Zetsumei Toshi[NTSC-J]

Is a survival horror a survival horror without enemy characters? That's the question that IREM have posed with Zettai Zetsumei Toshi. Zettai Zetsumei Toshi takes place in the near future, on a man made island outside Tokyo. Due to the increasing population growth, the city of Tokyo has expanded onto a purpose built island city, named Capital City. The two cities are interlinked via a network of bridges. Unfortunately for the character under your control, the city is hit by a devastating earthquake cutting all ties to the outside world. The key factor which makes this game so fresh is the lack of enemy characters. It is just you, the city and the elements. While this may sound like an empty experience with little to challenge or interact with, it most definitely is not. The game is as tense as Silent Hill or Biohazard but for different reasons. While you do not need to be concerned by an approaching zombie, you do need to be concerned about one of the most basic elements of living in a city i.e. the ground under your feet. The decision to produce this game has turned out to be an inspired move. The aftershock tremors which hit the city result in an ever changing game environment. An approach to solving a certain problem or reaching a new area in the city might appear to be simple and easy to execute until a tremor hits, resulting in buildings falling, bridges collapsing and fires starting. One minute later and the obvious path to salvation has gone. Unlike other traditional Survival Horror games, there are platform sections. These add to the overall challenge of the game and are at times breathtaking due to the surrounding scenery. A plausible scenario is climbing up to a building which has lost its front facade, reaching the top of the stairs only to find the floor blocked. The only option is to negotiate your way along the outside ledge of the collapsed floor looking ten stories down. Whilst this alone isn't particularly taxing, the small aftershocks hitting the city up the ante. This would be far too difficult if the control mechanism was awkward. IREM have produced a flexible control system which offers a reasonable variety of moves, therefore in the above scenario the player can make the character hang on to the ledge for stability while the building shakes.
