Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds

after doing everything i could in this game, i can safely say im buying the second one :D! Saito and Heisuke are amazing, i love pretty much every route and how the stories are set up for the next game! i do wish there was more to the romance in this one but im sure there will be more in the next game

I wake up. I think of this game. I go to work. I think of this game. I end work. I play this game. I savor every word and every moment like a fine sip of expensive wine. I go to bed (late). I think of this game. To say that this is the magnum opus of Otomes is an understatement. The storytelling is absolutely genius, woven together in a complex web of history, characters and emotions. Without spoiling anything, in some routes, you FEEL being watched by a character offscreen. You can almost smell the sakura blossoms and the Japan sea. I started with Saito, as that was what was recommended to me and he's consistently rated as everyone's favorite. That was a no from me. The whole Saito route I kept wanting to see more of Kazama and boy, was playing him next delivered. Every cent of that $9.99 I spent. And to think I've only played 2/12 routes is crazy. Do not even think about skipping this if you like otomes, especially heavier ones. My other two favorite are Nightshade and Olympia Soiree. Both are more polished and have more modern art but Hakuoki has soul and is much more... believable. The story spans from early1864 to 1869. That's almost 6 years of plot and character growth. Anyway I'm all over the place. Find me over at r/otomegames gushing about this.

I love this game but it is a bit frustrating when i use mouse and keyboard I click on the text box and then it randomly shows the save menu or the quick save menu, IDK if there's a way to turn that off or not. The chapters are quiet lengthy more so than I'm used to but I do love these little Demons so I'm waiting till I can pick a man. Beyond that small thing that could be something I over looked, This game is great and the art is beautiful, I'm thoroughly invested in the story.
