Enma Daiō is a hybrid quiz/lie detector game where players must answer a series of random questions given by the in-game character.[3][4] Depending on the question selected and the player's state, the titular deity either stays calm or becomes angry.[citation needed]
Enma Daiō proved to be the most expensive project developed by Toaplan, as former Toaplan composer Tatsuya Uemura stated in a 2009 interview with Japanese publication Floor 25 that it "cost a lot of money".[5] Uemura revealed to a Twitter user in November 2020 that Truxton composer Masahiro Yuge was involved during the game's development at Toaplan as producer.[6] The title was distributed exclusively in Japan by Taito in 1993 on two variations; a standard upright variant and a deluxe variant.[1][3] The title was also showcased to attendees at the 1993 Amusement Machine Show and later at the 1994 AOU Show.[7][8][9]
In more recent years, the rights to Enma Daiō and many other IPs from Toaplan are now owned by Tatsujin, a company named after Truxton's Japanese title that was founded in 2017 by former Toaplan employee Masahiro Yuge, who are now affiliated with arcade manufacturer exA-Arcadia.[10][11][12][13][14] In 2019, M2 acquired the license to nearly all titles developed by Toaplan for re-release on modern platforms in the future, but Enma Daiō was excluded for multiple reasons.[15][16][17][18]
