STORY
“I am an onmyoji, after all…”
It is the year 2014 in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo, Japan.
The capital, having remained largely unscathed by major air raids for the duration of World War II, has settled into an enthralling blend of the remnants of the old days and the developments of the new over time. Although the country should be at peace, lately it has been afflicted by horrifying incidents of assaults by ayakashi—supernatural creatures and spirits—against humans.
Though previously banned at the close of the war, the practice of the onmyoji—masters of spirits and divination—has been approved once again in order to combat the ongoing supernatural threat.
With hollow souls roaming the streets of Tokyo freely, the world is on the brink of collapsing into chaos. While it has been discovered that most of these malicious spirits were once human, the dark truth behind the origin of these disturbing transformations has yet to reveal itself.
Only by resolving these strange incidents in this metropolis of turbulent, clashing emotions will the answers eventually be made clear...
Or will they?

I totally didn't expect it to be such a pleasant, exciting read (●♡∀♡))ヾ☆*。It was so fascinating I didn't want it to end T_T Who would have thought I had such a gem in my wishlist. Thanks, Добрый, for digging it out for me, it was one of the best gifts I've ever received <3 At first I was really hooked by the setting & story itself with all those supernatural elements, riveting Japanese myths & mysterious cases. That was already enough to make me feel totally engrossed. There are quite many gripping cases where your choices may lead to either successfully solving them or to gruesome deadly endings. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3610869066 What's also important for me in a good story is an appealing MC & here he's one of the most endearing chars I've ever read about! (♥️‿♥️) His background, opinions on many different things, decisions he makes, his weaknesses and strengths, absolutely everything I found just perfect! In most novels all the protagonists (esp female chars in typical otome) are unbearably annoying, I have to endure their stupid actions but in this case I could just relax, easily associate myself with MC & enjoy that entertaining experience. …14 found this helpful
It's a very good game, I'm surprised this game doesn't have more exposure. * Story: Quite long (some might get bored); you get to work as an onmyioji (sort of demon exorcist) and pick the jobs you want to do, accompanied by at least 1 of the ROs; good balance of comedy, drama and spicy scenes; there's also 1 bonus story for each RO, after you finish their routes; * Characters - MC is a well rounded character, confident in himself and actually acts like his age (29); the ROs also have good, believable backgrounds and 3 out of 4 have pre-existent relations to the MC and are into him whether you do their routes or not * Routes: childhood friends to lovers route, enemies (rival) to lovers route, the silly smitten sidekick route and the friends with benefits to lover route; they add character development both for the RO and the MC himself; * CGs: a good amount, a few are slightly animated and have some cool visual effects; * Backgrounds: kinda meh, sometimes they get reused; * VAs: fully voiced (aside from 3rd person narration); amazing voice acting; * Sound: fitting music, not that special; a surprising amount of good sound effects, subtle and well placed; * Adult content: does not re…7 found this helpful
I am now a cerified Onmyoji and gay.5 found this helpful
Wow. What a trip. On one hand it looks like this is all going to be just the MC working as an Onmyoji and kicking supernatural but, some BL and lewds involved and yet... It turned out to be much more than that. I would also say that this could be considered "Dark" in certain areas... Especially if you give it enough though. Alright well. While you might start out confused/unused to everything, it will eventually all start to make sense. I will warn people ahead of time, that this game [b]does[/b] contain a certain "dark" theme: [spoiler]rape[/spoiler] and if you can't handle it... You can avoid it by just not getting a bad end. (Although I will also have to point out that some of these bad ends provide more information into the psyche of the character and adds to the story, so eh...) It also feels like this game was split into two "light" Love Interests and two "Dark". More like one fluffy, one childhood one, one dark and one overly psychotic. Also: if you do Basara's route... His route is THE SHORTEST!! All other Love Interests have incredibly, far longer story than Basara's. But if you want something cute I suppose... I only read Basara's and Suguru's. Why? Bec…3 found this helpful
This was super fun to play, I will say though that after playing through all of it that I feel like there are some bits missing and that just makes it feel a bit incomplete? Like some routes feel more or less fully fleshed out but others feel sorta rushed and unfinished, I don't think this should stop anyone from playing though!2 found this helpful
Amazing! Loved every minute - very engaging story, beautiful artwork, superb voice-acting....really top quality VN. I've only fully completed one route but I'm excited to play again through the others and see how the story differs. Highly recommend trying.
