Fray in Magical Adventure, also known as just Fray (フレイ) and Fray-Xak Epilogue (Gaiden), is a 1990 spin-off "gaiden" (sidestory) game in a role-playing video game series Xak developed and published by the Japanese software developer Microcabin. Even though it is directly connected to the more serious Xak storyline, Fray has a less serious tone and light-hearted comedic approach to telling the story. It was originally released for the MSX2 and was later ported to several different systems, among them MSX Turbo R, PC-98, PC Engine (as Fray CD), and Game Gear.
