Overview
DUKE, also known as 公爵 (デューク), was a short-lived game company best known for their contribution to the Denpa genre. Despite releasing only a single title, they developed a devoted cult following.
We do not own physical copies of DUKE’s releases due to their extreme second-hand value. However, we preserve digital assets and assist in locating additional materials.
ジサツのための１０１の方法 (2001)
101 Methods of Suicide
DUKE’s only released visual novel. A psychologically disturbing story deliberately blurring reality and delusion. Widely regarded as one of the “Big Three Denpa” titles.
Original release date is believed to be November 5th, 2001. A later patch (v1.01) was released. Original copies are now prohibitively expensive.

末期、少女病 ～Lyrical pop World’s end～ (Unreleased)
Terminal Girl Disease
Intended as DUKE’s second release, the project was indefinitely delayed. After DUKE disbanded, rights were acquired by Blasterhead in 2013.
While never completed, various assets and its soundtrack exist. We have preserved what is publicly available.
Final Notes & Acknowledgements
Multiple sources were used to gather the downloadable material. We acknowledge the documentation efforts of Fujifruit and Satone , which proved invaluable.
