House M.D. is a video game adaptation of the TV series of the same name, released for the DS and Windows. Weirdly, despite being based on an American show, the DS version wasn't released in North America.

At least none of the unused content on this page has lupus (it's never lupus).

Unused Graphics

In the folder for the case 1 full-screen graphics (layouts > SCENES > CASE01), two images named spider01.png and spider02.png can be found. They are unused in the case and are the only instance of non-full-screen graphics appearing in any of the case scenes' folders.

Case Debugging Text
