• What you're saying appears to be true.
• (No response)
• This is no time to be pretentious!

Impressions
The game was released as a full-fledged polygraph-based game utilizing a newly developed high-sensitivity biosensor. This large-sized arcade cabinet reminded people just how technically skilled Toaplan's developers were. It also featured a card dispenser that issued specially made cards once the game had ended, which made it a hot topic when a famous group utilized it in a four-panel comic found in a well-known weekly comic magazine. The game's content and the cards themselves, as well as the reliability of the sensor, proved fascinating to players across the country, and continuous laughter could be heard at various arcades and amusement parks at the time. However, those that incurred Enma Daiō's wrath probably weren't laughing too much...
