A rather controversial game, 177 takes its name from the Japanese law system where it is the code number for rape crimes. Casting you as a rapist, the idea of the game is to chase a woman through a forest while avoiding various obstacles.

In fact, 177 caused so much controversy that at one point it was recalled, but was re-released after a number of scenes were deleted from the game.
