Notes: This is an interactive story game (i.e., visual novel) in which players assume the role of a girl searching for her missing father in 19th century Japan. Players progress through the story interacting with samurai characters and watching events as they unfold. Some events lead to instances of violence: characters attacking/killing with swords, spears, and pistols; these still-frame scenes are sometimes accompanied by cries of pain and flesh-impact sounds. Violence is also described in text (e.g., “...I felt the metal of its blade burn into the flesh of my arm” and “Dark, crimson blood was dripping from his sword, and next to his feet was a right arm holding a sword”). Characters are sometimes depicted with blood stains on their bodies and/or clothing. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in the dialogue.
