About this game
A research institute is located on a remote island.
Apparently the researches being conducted there have some sort of an unofficial link with the military, so journalist Albert Macdgul is sent to investigate and see what he can find out.

At the same time Tina, a young girl, is washed ashore on the island with no recollection of what has happened to her or who she is.
Meanwhile, the technical manager Makoto Izumi seems to think that something weird is going on with the researches being conducted.
Desire is a Japanese-style adventure game.
The game is played via a standard text interface where the player selects commands from a menu, interacting with other characters and places.
The game consists of four chapters which make up the same storyline, but viewed by different characters.
In each chapter the player will see the events and situations from different angles and uncover layers of the main plotline.
The computer versions of the game have scenes with explicit nudity and sexual situations, which are not present in the console releases.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Desire for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Desire to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2004.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Desire has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
