==Story==
thumb|200px|Kagetsu Tohya's title screen.
Kagetsu Tohya consists of "Twilight Glass Moon, Fairy Tale Princess", the long main story with many branches, and several shorter side stories that are unlocked one after another after related events in the main story have been read. Ten of these side stories are combined as "Ten Nights of Dream".
===Twilight Glass Moon, Fairy Tale Princess===
One year after the events of Tsukihime, Shiki is a victim of an accident. After this accident, Shiki awakens into a strange dream wherein he repeats the same day over and over. There are infinitely many endings to the day, but it always begins anew after each day. Eventually, Shiki discovers that he must find Len, the creator of the dream, if he wishes to escape.
The gameplay is exactly the same as in Tsukihime. However it uses a slightly different system in which the player goes through each of Shiki's "days" in the dream. The number of choices the player is presented with in Kagetsu Tohya is also significantly larger than in Tsukihime.
The plot is also rather flexible. Certain choices can cancel out facts that have been previously stated. For instance, Shiki can choose to leave for school early, and ponder on whether or not to go with Akiha. If he chooses to go with Akiha, they attend the same school. However, should he choose to go alone, Akiha is revealed to attend a different school from his.
===Ten Nights of Dream===
The first seven of these stories were written by Kinoko Nasu like the rest of Kagetsu Tohya, while the last three are contribution works by others, essentially fanfiction. It is unknown if any of these stories are to be considered canon.

This story was written by Maruyama Kugane, the author of the Light Novel series Overlord. Overlord Volume 1 Author Thoughts: Although there was a case of giving up the dream to be a novelist in my introductory
published work, that is the adoption of my short story ’Dawn’ in
Kagetsu Tohya, Overlord Manga Bonus Interview: Maruyama: The mini-scenario I submitted for Kagetsu Tohya ’Dawn’, got picked
up, but that was fourteen years ago, and I hadn’t written anything since then.
Oshio: So was doing that project for Type-Moon what got you started writing
stories?
Maruyama: At the time, I just liked Type-Moon games. And they just so happened
to be looking for stories to include in Kagetsu Tohya, so I thought Okay,
I’ll give it my best shot! Arcadia 2878: Old fans of Type-Moon will know it but I wrote ’Dawn’.
