Baroque - Yuganda Mousou (PS1) price, value & rarity
The first Baroque, a bleak Sting roguelike (published by ESP) with generated dungeons and deliberately cryptic storytelling in a post-apocalyptic world. A Japan-only NTSC-J title never translated on PS1, this original predates the later remakes by a wide margin, giving it origin-point status for franchise enthusiasts. Demand stays niche and most of the value rests on the uncommon sealed copies rather than broad appeal.
