Game Description

Explore a thousand years of history to solve a mystery in this time-traveling RPG. A princess has slept inside the Karakuri Mansion for one thousand years. When wandering samurai Shiren is given a key to the house, he unlocks a mystery that will take him into the past to figure out the present. Explore dungeons, villages, and other vibrant locations in feudal Japan to uncover the story of the sleeping princess and fight a menacing evil. Variable game options welcome players of all skill levels. You can customize the strength of your challenge with two difficulty modes, control your party directly, or set their tendencies and let the AI take over.
