Lunacy, released in Europe as Torico and in Japan as Gekka Mugentan Torico (月花霧幻譚 Torico), is an adventure game developed by System Sacom and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn in 1996. Lunacy is an interactive movie adventure consisting of a long series of interconnecting full motion video (FMV) sequences, much like The 7th Guest and System Sacom's earlier Saturn game, Mansion of Hidden Souls. The game is about a man named Fred (also known as "The Traveler") who wanders around the City of Mists trying to uncover his forgotten identity. His forehead bears the imprint of a strange symbol, which seems to be the source of his amnesia. He travels to a city, where he encounters strange events and a man named Lord Gordon who rules the town with an iron fist and plays cruel games with the town's inhabitants.
