About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Idea no Hi ("Day of the Idea") is a surreal turn-based JRPG from Office Kukan and Shouei System. The manga artist Koji Aihara penned the story and worked on the character design. The protagonist is a player-named boy who escapes from a laboratory after awakening to his psychokinetic powers. His quest takes him across a dystopian world, picking up allies along the way.</p><p>The game has a few novel ideas, like allowing the protagonist to crossdress (which changes their profile picture) or wear underwear on his head, the latter of which results in people treating him like a pervert, which has a few beneficial side-effects. The protagonist has a "<a href="/limit-break/3015-304/" data-ref-id="3015-304">limit break</a>" style attack when low on health, and the game has a <a href="/daynight-cycle/3015-92/" data-ref-id="3015-92">day/night cycle</a>.</p><p>Koji Aihara also worked on the 1992 JRPG <a href="/maka-maka/3030-28332/" data-ref-id="3030-28332">Maka Maka</a> (also by Office Koukan). His satirical and bizarre touches permeate Idea no Hi as well.</p>
