Incredible Crisis

System: PS1

Completed: Yes

Every now and then a truly bizarre game will come out of Japan and land on our shores, and Incredible Crisis is one of those games. If the cover didn’t give you a clue, the gameplay and plot sure will. The game follows a traditional Japanese family as they go about their day to day lives. One day, when Grandma asks the family to be home for dinner for her birthday, each family member runs into increasingly ridiculous situations halting them from returning. Things like the son being shrunk down to the size of an insect, the dad entering a malfunctioning elevator, and the mother getting caught up in a bank heist. The gameplay is a simple collection of minigames, but the craziness of it all makes it fun. Overall the game is fairly short but what’s there is worth while and a charming and very odd adventure.
