The Death Trap is the first game developed by Square, created before they were even an independent company. At the time, Square was a software branch of Denyuusha, a Japanese software firm; it wasn't until 1986 that Square Co., Ltd. was independently established. Square followed up with a sequel to The Death Trap in 1985. The game is titled Will and subtitled The Death Trap II.The Death Trap is an interactive fiction game, which relies on simple command lines from the user's input to progress through the game. As opposed to most "text adventures", with only text as output, The Death Trap provides graphical feedback using still pictures.The game's plot is set during the 1980s. In the game, the Cold War has become tense, and many countries have begun to prepare for a global-scale war, working on new weapons. One of such countries is the mysterious "B country" in Eastern Africa, which in an attempt to create biological weapons kidnaps the famous scientist Dr. Gitanes. An agent named Benson is sent to B country in order to rescue the doctor and avert the new threat to world peace.Screenshoots :
