Psycho Dream (サイコドリーム)[1] is a 1992 video game for the Super Famicom. An attempt to release it in North America as Dream Probe failed; so it remained exclusively in the Japanese market.[4]

Unlike the Valis series of video games, the story behind Psycho Dream is watered-down and gameplay is the most important element to the overall experience.[5]

Summary

The player controls two courageous demon hunters (Ryo and Maria); who decide to go on a mystical journey to free the world of living people from the demons.[4] Ryo is a swordsman while Maria is an angelic warrior who uses a whip that can be upgraded into metal claws or a laser gun. [4] Demons can even be summoned to destroy most of the monsters on the screen.[4] Many of the stages are set against the backdrop of 20th century Japan.

Having a limited amount of time to defeat enemies, the focus is on advancing through the stages as quickly as possible.
