Germs: Nerawareta Machi is a truly weird first-person game and the only game developed by KEJ, which is otherwise a CG graphics company. You play as a journalist wandering about his hometown, which has been infiltrated by aliens. For its time the open-world environment is very impressive; the game world is pretty large and you can move around by car or public bus. The game's outdoors environments are presented in a noir-ish sepiatone with big red arrows pointing to buildings you can enter (interiors are in full color). If you run across one of the city's aliens you can shoot them, but if they kill you, you'll turn into one of them (which can be fixed by a trip to the hospital). Also, the city is pretty much empty except for you. It's a bizarre and unsettling game in every way, definitely plagued with issues, but forward-looking for its time. Worth a play if you're looking for something atmospheric and different.
