Lolita Syndrome (ロリータ・シンドローム) is a Japanese adult computer game created by Enix and released on 31 October 1983 for the FM-7 and PC-8801 platforms. The game art was designed by Katsumi Mochizuki.[1][2][3][4]

Plot

The game takes place within a house called "Maison Lolita" where underaged cartoon girls run around without clothes, and play games which involve cheating death. The game features depictions of human gore and underage children.[5][6]

Gameplay

The player selects one of five rooms to enter, with each containing a different minigame.[5][7]

Buzz saw room

A girl is strapped to a table, and a circular buzz saw is slowly moving towards her. The player must choose the correct key from ten keys in order to release the girl, and is limited to five guesses.[2] After five incorrect guesses, the buzz saw slices the girl who explodes into a fountain of gore and dies; if the player is successful in freeing the girl, she takes off her clothes.[5]

Human dart board room

A girl is strapped to a dart board, and the player is to toss darts at her.[6] The player selects a series of darts which are randomly allocated by number; success is determined randomly by the computer depending on which number the player selects.[2] If the player wins, the girl's clothing is removed; otherwise, the girl explodes into gore and dies.[5]

Password room

A sleeping girl is lying on a bed, and the player must type a Japanese word in order to wake her up and have her take her clothes off. The game provides hints to the player.[2]

Rock Paper Scissors room

The player plays a game of rock paper scissors against a girl, who removes a piece of her clothing each time the player wins.[5]

The final room does not involve a game, but rather a gallery where the player can view pornographic images of underage cartoon girls.[5]

Development

Prior to creating its well-known series of role playing games which include Dragon Quest and Star Ocean, Enix was a niche game publisher which became involved in the creation of pornographic games during the 1980s.[8] Lolita Syndrome was the winning game of the second Hobby Program Contest sponsored by Enix.[1][6]

An earlier game created by Enix in February 1983, Guest Mariko Hashimoto (マリちゃん危機一髪), similarly involves gore and pornographic imagery of underage girls, with the player protecting a girl named Mariko from people who throw knives at her, attach her to high-voltage batteries, or place her next to bombs.[9][6]
