Laplace no Ma (ラプラスの魔, Rapurasu no Ma, literally "Laplace's Demon") is a Japanese video game released in 1987 for the NEC PC-8801 and NEC PC-9801.^[1] The game was also ported to Sharp X68000, MSX, the SNES and TurboGrafx-CD.

Summary

This video game is a mixture of the role-playing video game and survival horror genres and set in the vicinity of Boston, Massachusetts in a town called "Newcam", it is modeled on fictional city Arkham created by H. P. Lovecraft.

The horror part of the game lies in the exploration of the fictional Weathertop Mansion, whose owner dabbled in black magic. The game's CRPG features include its character classes—Dilettante, Medium, Detective, Scientist, and Journalist—and that the player can leave the mansion to walk around the town to go to shops to buy items needed to defeat the monsters and complete the game.

Reception

On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the Super Famicom version of the game a 26 out of 40.^[2]
