"Shinjuku Crawler"
This is a TTRPG where you explore a dungeon that appeared beneath Shinjuku in Tokyo.
You search the dungeon for valuables, fight monsters, and try to escape alive. Since your inventory space is limited, you’ll need to carefully manage what you carry out. This is a Japanese OSR.

"灯火と鏡の騎士（The Glow & The Mirror）"
This TTRPG has two parts. First, you play as a bard and tell the exaggerated tales of the Knight of the Glow. Most of the story is invention, but one truth remains. Then, in the past, you reveal what really happened, seen through the eyes of the knights.
