## Synopsis

After a blinding light emanates from her phone, soft-spoken Yuzuki is suddenly transported to an alternate world known as Shinga. The strange place resembles the Sengoku period—a turbulent time in Japanese history known for long civil wars that ravaged the country.

Here, the Gekkazoku, tribes of non-human creatures like vampires and werewolves, live in harmony with humans. This harmony was maintained under the governance of Himemiko, a woman with the power to protect Shinga. However, due to her mysterious disappearance, the world has fallen into disarray. Now, Yuzuki must find Himemiko in order to go back home; but, the ongoing feud between the warlords only impedes her progress.

## Game content

The player (positioned as "Himegamiko" in the game) will defeat the evil spiritual existence called "Yakuma" for the time being, along with the male characters called "Sengoku warlords" in the world of Shinto. Each military commander has an army to which the player belongs, and the player chooses one of the armies and advances the story with the military commander of that army (any army can be selected. The story changes slightly depending on the military commander of the selected army). As the story progresses and exchanges with military commanders of other armies progress, you can freely organize beyond the boundaries of your own army. When the formation is completed, go out and aim for victory in the battle with the evil spirits. The formation will be up to 5 people, and the number of warlords will eventually increase to 28 people.

The battle basically progresses automatically, but sometimes you can "recover" when the military commander gets hurt during the fight against the evil spirit (recovery can only be done a certain number of times, so there is also an option not to do it. be).

After the battle, you can get an item called "*Magic Crystal*", and when you are not in battle, you can give (use) this to the military commander you are interested in to generate daily events, and the military commander's fighting ability and friendship with the player will increase. It will improve. These data can be checked at any time in the form of a "*dear map*".

When all the parameters of the dear map reach the maximum (MAX), a special event "*Awakening*" occurs, the instinct of blood sucking that was sleeping in the warlord is awakened, and the blood of the player (Himegamiko) is sucked by mouth. This awakens the original power, powers up the ability, and greatly changes the appearance.
