01 / THE GUIDE
Choosing a Bachelor
At the start you select one of twelve Shinsengumi members, each presented as a potential romance partner. This initial choice determines which storyline you begin and which character‑specific events become available.
After completing a route you may start a new playthrough with a different bachelor to experience alternative narratives and uncover additional story details.
- Try several bachelors to see how each character’s dialogue influences the plot.
- Note unique scenes that appear only in certain routes for later comparison.

Branching Storylines & Endings

Animation and CG Art
Key moments are presented with fluid animation and detailed CG illustrations, enhancing the visual storytelling and historical atmosphere.

Language‑Specific Save Files
Save files created in one language cannot be loaded when the game is played in a different language. Switching languages requires changing the setting through the Steam client before loading.
This restriction ensures that text and dialogue remain consistent with the language version selected for a playthrough.

- If you must change language, back up existing saves to preserve progress.
