Dead of the Brain

Dead of the Brain is a Japanese horror-themed adventure game, developed by FairyTale and released in March 1992. The player controls a man named Cole amidst a zombie outbreak, arisen from his friend's resurrection experiment gone wrong.

FairyTale had, following an incident regarding their erotic game Saori (1991), switched to developing horror video games which began with Dead of the Brain. Two other games were released as part of the Nightmare Collection: the game's sequel Dead of the Brain 2 (1993) and Marine Philt (1993). Following these releases, the company returned to developing eroge.

A port of Dead of the Brain was bundled with its sequel to the PC Engine CD. While originally planned for release in January 1996, the bundle only released in 1999, making it the final official PC Engine game.
