Rance

Rance: Hikari o Motomete (Rance -光をもとめて-?, "Rance: Quest for Hikari") was Alice Soft's debut title under its present name (however, there have been eroge made by the company preceding this title under the company name "Champion Soft" ). and was first released in July 1989 for the MSX. It was also later released in 1990 for Windows 3.x. An English unofficial translation patch for Rance: Hikari o Motomete was released on January 21, 2011. In this game, Rance, with his magician slave Sill Plain, are searching for Hikari, the missing daughter of a noble family who was kidnapped from her school.

The story is pretty simple - Hikari ("Light"), the red-haired girl that is seen in an opening clip, has been kidnapped. And Rance get the mission from his boss to investigate the case. Rance is something like a detective in this story. This also turns the whole game more into a detective like exploring than into rpg or more less rpg/strategy to which the gamers of the latter games of the series are used to. Rance is not alone in his job he has a helper, 16-year-old Sill, who is actually Rance's slave. She was from a rich family but later got kidnapped by a bandit and was sold in an auction, where Rance bought her.

Now with her help you (Rance) have to solve this mystery, bring Hikari back and pay back the ones that are at fault.
