Typically called "Laplace no Ma", "Demon of Laplace", "Laplace's Demon", or "Diable De Laplace", Rapurasu no Ma ("Laplace" being the translation of the romanization of Rapurasu) is an RPG that has ties to Pierre-Simon Laplace's theory of the universe and a distinct air of H.P. Lovecraft inspiration. Throw in a little of what Japan is typically known for like a cute anime girl here or there and you have the makings for something great...or something horribly cliched. The setting is the fictional town of Newcam (Newcam being tied to H.P. Lovecraft's fictional town of Arkham), a small town in the outskirts of Boston, USA. The year...is 1924. Your mission in a nutshell: To solve all the cases of murder and missing people to gain fame. Your destination: The Haunted Weathertop Manor. There is only one thing standing in your way...the unknown. The only thing you DO know is that a man by the name of Benedict Weathertop may have something to do with the unsettling plot. - taken from personal website

I'll be honest with you; I don't really like this game. This game was handled by the same people who made the Turbo-CD version of "Record of Lodoss War" (another game we also own) which was nice enough to look at and decent sounding, but the game was flawed, slow, and nerve-wrecking. This game has a few interesting concepts, but let's just say I don't like it for valid reasons. Maybe you'll like it. If memory serves, this game has been fan-translated. This game is classified as a "Table-Talk Psychic Horror RPG". It's the closest thing the SNES has to "Sweet Home". Enjoy.

NOTE: All I want to know about this game is who the artist of this image is:

If someone can tell me, or if they need to see a couple of other images to get an idea, please let me know. If I can find the artist, I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: Issue resolved.
