Lessons in Japanese game design

In the second act of Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 2, the player takes on the role of Yuko Saeki, a young woman wrongly accused of murdering her brother. Her story begins in a prison cell which she is forced to flee from due to the massive floods taking place in Geo City. As she tries to find an exit and survive the disaster, detective Shigeru Akimoto, who is obsessed about her being trialed and execution, restrains her using a pair of handcuffs. These cuffs will present a challenge to this character for most of her campaign.

In a very conventional manner, ZZT2 allows the player to equip accessories and clothing items. This can be done dozens of times in any of the character’s stories as they encounter clothes and gear which increases protection and decreases vulnerability to the elements. The above example shows how, for instance, equipping any other character with a coat will result in a slight change to the base polygonal model.

What is less conventional, however, is that in the case of Yuko, the game designers contemplated the fact that her hands are cuffed and that she cannot fit her arms into the jacket’s sleeves. Taking into account the fact that this is a game produced during the year 2005, to say nothing of its minute budget, this singular detail, itself, represents the kind of thought process and attention to detail that characterize Japanese game design at its best.
