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] both from 1993. The latter concluded the series, after which FairyTale resumed releasing eroge.[3]
