Giant underground labyrinth in Tokyo
It's been 10 years since I came to Tokyo from Osaka. "Shinjuku underground shopping mall" that I used to commute every day for a while. I'm writing this article at home now without knowing exactly where and how it's connected.
Introducing an app that faithfully reproduces such a complicated and mysterious "underground shopping mall in Shinjuku"!

The labyrinth "Shinjuku Dungeon" in the basement of Tokyo. It is said that a "legendary jewel" is sleeping in the innermost part, the "Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building".
In search of Otakara
| ▲ Shinjuku Station 2F | ▲ Treasure chest found! |
Beyond the "green ticket gate", there is a treasure chest!
That's why the pixel art hero challenges Shinjuku Dungeon in search of Otakara. Easy to operate. Move in each direction with the cross-shaped button.
| ▲ Payment in advance | ▲ Prepaid gate 2 |
It seems that you need an item to break through the ticket gate. The "sword" behind the "blue ticket gate" can't be helped now.
It can't be helped, so click the "red button" below!
| ▲ I'll tell you to press | ▲ I pushed it |
| ▲ If you press three | ▲ Get a treasure chest |
In the vast basement of Shinjuku
It's not just about walking around in search of otaku, it also includes a "mystery-solving" element.
| ▲ Break through the green ticket gate! | ▲ Get a map |
If you get a "green ticket", you can go through the "green ticket gate". If you have a ticket of the same color as the ticket gate, you will be able to pass through as many times as you like. I wonder how many there are.
| ▲ Overall map | ▲ Rogue-like |
If you get a "map", you can see the whole map of the area you are in. It is also possible to display a map on the screen during play, so please use it according to your preference. And please despair in its size.
It was a little
| ▲ Avoid ghosts! | ▲ Solve the puzzle! |
A wastefully wide Shinjuku dungeon that faithfully reproduces the actual underground Shinjuku. As a device that will not get bored, a little action element and a little mystery solving element are studded in a nice way.
Also, as a device that does not hesitate, monsters are arranged casually as a guide. The game design around here feels a lot of sense.
| ▲ Check! | ▲ Solve the puzzle! |
There is also a complete element such as "stamp rally" as a spear element. Collect the "stars" scattered in the dungeon and aim for 100%!
| ▲ Crystal! | ▲ Niji no Shizuku! |
In addition, as a spear element, items such as "Crystal" and "Niji no Shizuku", which are respect and homage to the two major RPGs, are hidden around the dungeon. When I realize the true meaning of "Niji no Shizuku", I can't stop grinning.
I couldn't stop grinning, so I asked Mr. Uehara of UeharaLabo, who developed it, about Iloilo.
Q1. It's a work that is full of feelings for Shinjuku, but do you still live in Tokyo?No, I was born and raised in Okinawa. |
Q2. What !? So, are you longing for Tokyo?I don't really like it because it's cold and there are many people. |
Q3. Certainly. .. .. So why did you make "Shinjuku Dungeon"?I often saw people talking about "Shinjuku station is like a maze" on the internet, but when I used Shinjuku station for a trip, I got lost. It was disappointing, and I decided to capture it completely someday. |
Q4. How long is the development period?When I first started making it, I thought lightly that I would be able to grasp the whole thing once I went to the site while traveling. However, he seemed to be uncomfortable, and when he actually started making it, he couldn't grasp it at all in a short period of time. I went to Tokyo "5 times" and it took about "1 year". |
Q5. 5 times from Okinawa! Are you free?I absolutely wanted to complete it, so I devoted "all the time" to this production. I've been busy making apps so I don't have time. |
Q6. I want you to see here! Where is it?After all it is the reproducibility of the map. Although it looks like a pixel art and is different from reality, the structure of the map has been reproduced considerably. I want you to taste it. |
Q7. The game is a pixel art, but when you look at the icon alone, it feels like a beautiful 3D game. Is it a scam?Since the concept is "making the station into a game," we have adopted pixel art in the game that makes it easier to create a game atmosphere. However, it would be a little lonely to make a dot picture up to the icon, so I tried to make it a beautiful 3D aiming at the gap. |
Q8. Looking at the response on the internet, there are many voices saying, "Next, make the basement here!"I don't know if there is a next one, but I would like to make "Shibuya", "Tokyo", and "Umeda" dungeons. |
Q9. One last word!Not only people who know Shinjuku station, but also people who have never been to Shinjuku station can enjoy it. People who are always lost or who are planning to go to Tokyo can also learn with this app, so please try it once !! |
"The underground shopping mall in Shinjuku is like a dungeon!"
I think there are many creators who "somehow thought" to give shape to such a voice. However, no one has "completed" it to the end. Moreover, alone.
The supreme dish that the developer has created over a year, despite the geographical disadvantage. Not only the impact of the title, but also the game is finished in an interesting game that you can play properly, so please try it!
