Background
Hakuoki is an otome game series where the player takes the role of a female protagonist, Chizuru Yukimura, who can choose from multiple male love interests. The gameplay requires little interaction, mostly reading text and making choices that affect the story.
There are six main plot lines, one for each hero, and an affection meter determines the ending. The game includes a CG Gallery, Music List, Scene Recollection, skip options, and a 'Record of Service' for chapter selection. The updated remakes Kyoto Winds and Edo Blossoms added six more routes and a corruption meter for the bachelor's Fury state.
