Biko 3 (尾行3 in Japanese) is the third game in Biko game series produced by Illusion.

In Biko 3 you play as a stalker, Takumi Katori. The objective is that the player navigates though a series of missions where you stalk each of the five female characters with out being seen. Each episode has a Good ending, where the player meets the character at the end of the missions and make love; an Evil ending, where the player forces himself upon the female character; and a Special scene can be found with certain characters. To archive these encounters the player must pick up certain items located though out the 3D environment.

Gameplay

The player choses one of the five episodes and is given a background information on the situations and the character, as well as the thoughts from the protagonist point of view. After the opening scene the player stealthy stalks the character though a series of 3D neighborhoods.

The player can interact with the surrounding objects, such as hiding inside rubbish bins; hiding down manholes; and jumping over walls to remove himself out of view of the victims. Certain elements such as cans, dogs and crows makes a noise when the player approaches which alerts the female character and if seen, the game is over. Running past police officers and being hit by cars also fails the mission.

Towards the end of the episode, The Love or Rape scenes can be unlocked if the play picked up Good, Evil or special 'H' items throughout the environment, some are obvious and cannot be missed but others are hidden and stray away from the route the female character is taking. Different sex positions are available for each scene and depending on the hidden items the player picks up, unlocks different situations.


User interface

The interface of Biko 3 in the sex scenes are mostly the same as other Illusion Soft games, which uses the click and drag of the boxes, but sometimes are required to move the mouse more than to one box to another. This can be identified by colour of the boxes and the dotted line between them.

Another notable feature in Biko 3 is the thoughts of the female characters. While in the sex scenes the character sometimes has thoughts of what is happening. This is presented by a separate popup which is a close up view of that character face and a voice is heard. These thoughts can be either of desperation and wanting to escape in the Rape scenes, or of nervousness and comfort from the gentle Love ending. The animation of these thoughts can be disabled via the options menu.

Praise/Critisism/controversy

The game did not receive good reviews outside of Japan, most of them stating that they are "too easy" "unpleasant" and "deplorable" and should be illegal, because of the rape and severity of the situations. Biko 3 received some controversy which are similar to Illusion Softs Rapelay which involves similar situations.

Graphically, Biko 3 received good reviews saying that the character design and the animation are "surprising good" in certain areas, such as the tears from the characters eyes and the realistic texturing of their skin, but the environment of the levels was not well received.
