You interact with members of the Shinsengumi, a real historical group that protected the capital from threats ranging from fires to political unrest. The story centers on forming a romantic relationship with one of several captains, each with distinct personalities and backstories. Gameplay involves reading branching narrative scenes, making dialogue choices that affect relationship outcomes, and unlocking different story routes based on which captain you pursue.
