Dead of the Brain: Shiryou no Sakebi is a Japanese horror adventure game, developed by FairyTale [ja] and released in 1992 by IDES for the PC-9801. A port bundled with its sequel to the PC Engine CD was published by NEC in 1999,[1] making it the final official PC Engine game to be released.[citation needed]

After the Saori incident (a scandal about erotic content in Japanese games caused by a teenager stealing a copy of the eroge Saori) and the arrest of the company's president for distribution of indecent material, FairyTale pivoted to violence-themed games. Thus, their Nightmare Collection series was formed, with Dead of the Brain its first title;[2] other entries include the game's sequel and Marine Philt.[1]

The game has received several English translation patches: One in 2019 and one in 2023 for the PC-98 version, and another one for the PC Engine in 2023.[1]
