Are you seeking something unusual in a pet to fill an empty space in your heart? Then venture, if you dare, into a strange little pet shop in Chinatown, where the mysterious proprietor knows your every need and desire. But watch out. When you buy from Count D, what you get may be what he thinks you deserve rather than what you want. So even if that rare rabbit does somehow look just like your lost child, perhaps you'd be safer shopping somewhere else. That's certainly what Detective Orcot of the LAPD would advise, as nightmarish things seem to keep happening to the shop's customers. Unfortunately, there's never been quite enough evidence to implicate the Count. And until there is, business will continue to boom. (Sentai Filmworks)

An entertaining game with a determined policeman and a vain count with a fondness for exotic creatures and human weaknesses. It gave me a slightly sinful pleasure to guess what conditions of the contract each client will violate and what consequences it will have for them. Since it only has four episodes, there isn't enough time for more elaborate plotlines, but at the same time, Pet Shop of Horrors doesn't even have time to get tired of its episodic theme and instead pleasantly surprises with each new creature and story.
