RAPURASU no ma (ラプラスの魔) (translated as "Demon of Laplace", "Devil of Laplace", or "Laplace's Demon" after Pierre-Simon Laplace) was a Japanese computer game for released in 1993 MS-DOS and the NEC PC-8801. The game was also ported to the SNES and TurboGrafx CD. This game is a mixture of the CRPG and survival horror genres and set in the vicinity of Boston, Massachusetts in a town called "Newcam", apparently to signify Cambridge, Massachusetts rather than its English precursor.
The horror part of the game lies in the exploration of the fictional Weathertop Mansion, whose owner dabbled in black magic. The game's CRPG features include its character classes: Dilettante, Medium, Detective, Scientist, and Journalist, and the fact that the player can leave the mansion and walk around the town to go to shops to buy things needed to defeat the monsters and complete the game.
