Blurb

"I wanted to meet you. You killed me..."

Surrounded by a mysterious beauty, she murmurs sadly.

The main character, Kazuya Furuyagi, once again tries to infiltrate his client's mind.

Is what reflected in the darkness his hideous past? A mysterious psycho trance that takes place as life and death intersect.

And there, waiting for Old Man Kamiya's terrifying trap.

History

Originally released for the FM Towns personal computer in May 1990, Aya was eventually ported to both the Super CD-ROM² and Mega-CD in late 1992 and early 1993 respectively (now featuring DAPS animation technology). It also received enhanced ports to PC-9821 and Windows 95 computers in the following years, now boasting a streamlined user interface, redrawn animations, minor plot retcons, and the inclusion of both DAPS and DCCS technologies.[2]
