Nightruth is a visual novel-style adventure game following the adventures of a team of high school students who use their supernatural abilities to to investigate paranormal events. The game plays out as standard for this type of game, consisting of voiced and illustrated story scenes with occasional player choices; these choices branch off via player choice into one of three different storylines, each of which has multiple possible endings. This PlayStation version of Nightruth includes the complete original game along with a new additional fourth scenario as well as two bonus discs: a "Making of" disc that includes production artwork and voice actor interviews, and a music CD containing the game's theme song.
Shinya Izayoi is not your average high-school student. He's knowledgeable in black magic, wears a ring that summons a magical sword, and is part of a group of students that investigates paranormal activity. Strange events such as spontaneous combustion have been happening recently, so Shinya and his (mostly cute and female) friends are drawn in to get to the truth of what's happening.

"Futatsu Dake no Shinjitsu" ("The Only Two Truths") is the third and final game in the Nightruth series, this time starring the youngest of Shinya's classmates, Ai Himekawa. The story focuses on her previously unexplained powers of precognition and telekinesis. Gameplay is again similar to the visual novel-style adventure presentation of the previous entries, featuring voiced and illustrated story sequences which occasionally branch via player choice into multiple endings. However, rather than featuring stories about famous supernatural phenomena, the focus this time is strictly on the main characters and their own personal stories.

Ever 17: The Out of Infinity is a visual novel video game developed by KID. It is the second entry in the Infinity series; it is preceded by Never 7: The End of Infinity, and followed by Remember 11: The Age of Infinity, 12Riven: The Psi-Climinal of Integral, and Code_18. From VNDB: "Ever17 is the tale of seven individuals who come to be trapped 153 feet within the underwater marine theme park, LeMU. During an apparently normal day at the park, a massive accident happens, placing almost half of the facility underwater. The path to the surface and the communication lines are cut off. In addition, LeMU is under constant assault by severe water pressure, limiting time to find a means of escape to 119 hours. Escape is not the only concern, however; many questions arise as to the legitimacy of the accident and whether or not those trapped there were brought there for a purpose."
