Metamor Panic: Doki Doki Yōma Busters!! is a visual novel-style adventure game with RPG elements. The adventure scenes mostly proceed linearly, with the player occasionally asked to choose an action, such as choosing what subject to ask a character about, or investigating a certain object. Combat sequences will also occasionally occur, which take a standard turn-based JRPG format where the three characters fight against yōkai. The game doesn't simply use the trappings of an RPG for flavor; it includes leveling up, character stats, and item management and, unlike many games in this style, there is the possibility of losing fights leading to a game over.
One day, high school student Masaki is camping in the woods with his friends Ai and Yuki. While exploring, they stumble upon a strange cave, and wind up releasing the seal on an ancient demon lord. The demon lord curses Ai and Yuki, causing them to transform into animals, and escapes to wreak havoc and release yōkai into the city. With the help of the demon hunter Genji, Masaki and his friends must stop the demon lord and lift the curse on the girls.

Sakura Taisen 1 & 2 (also known as Sakura Wars 1 & 2) is a dramatic adventure game compilation of "Sakura Taisen" (1996) and "Sakura Taisen 2 ~Thou Shalt Not Die~" (1998) for the PlayStation Portable released exclusively in Japan. A "Taishō Roman" story featuring lavish visuals, music, and voice acting, both timeless Sega Saturn masterpieces depict the battle between the Imperial Combat Revue and a great evil set in the Imperial Capital. Both games have been readjusted for widescreen and are compacted on a single UMD. While publishers attempted to release the game overseas, Sony Computer Entertainment America rejected the proposal due to the game's visual novel format and difficulties in localization and licensing.

Policenauts is an interactive movie/graphic novel/adventure game with a hard science fiction storyline, written and directed by Hideo Kojima, and published by Konami. It was initially released for the PC-9821 computer platform in 1994, followed by remade versions for the 3DO in 1995, and the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1996. The game has never been officially released outside Japan, despite plans for an English localization of the Saturn version. On August 24, 2009 (in honor of the 46th birthday of the game designer, Hideo Kojima), an unofficial English translation patch was released onto the internet. The game is set in a primarily first person perspective and uses a point-and-click interface: the player can move the cursor and have the protagonist (Jonathan Ingram) analyze objects around his environment or talk to other characters in the game. Like in Snatcher, the game features shooting segments where the player must defend their character from incoming enemies. The player can use the shooting trainer at the police department to test their reflex and accuracy. There are numerous puzzles in the game, including an event where the player must dismantle a bomb by following their partner's instructions. The console versions of the game all include support for their respective mouse peripherals. The Saturn version features light gun support for the shooting segments. The game was notable for being an early example of extensive voice recording in video games. It also featured a theme revolving around space exploration and occasional full-motion video cut scenes. The gameplay was largely similar to Snatcher, but with the addition of a point-and-click interface and some first-person shooter segments. Policenauts also introduced summary screens, which act to refresh the player's memory of the plot upon reloading a save, an element Kojima would later use in Metal Gear Solid. The PlayStation version of Policenauts could also read the memory card and give some easter egg dialogues if a save file of Konami's dating sim Tokimeki Memorial is present, a technique Kojima would also later use in Metal Gear Solid.

Himitsu Sentai Metamor V is a visual novel-style adventure game starring a cast of transforming magical girls. The game is divided into chapters and follows the five members of the Metamor V squad, all of them elementary school students and classmates of Sakie's. Much of the game consists of conversation sequences with other characters; the player's reactions and choices will affect Sakie's trust level with her squadmates, and through conversations the player will also learn different key words. Both of these are important during the battle sequences, in which the player must combine words in order to create the most effective special attacks. There is no lose condition, but the player is graded on how quickly they defeat opponents, which affects trust levels and ultimately the game's ending. The later PlayStation "Deluxe" version includes an extra bonus side scenario and additional voice acting, but is otherwise the same game.
