How it feels

A gentle, story-driven visual novel that immerses you in the pressures and passions of professional shogi players, with a mystery unfolding through slow-burn narrative and choice.

What players say

Players say it is a mystery adventure set in the shogi world, weaving real events and real professional players into the story. The mystery in the first part is praised, the second part less so. Those with shogi knowledge get more out of it, but even newcomers can follow thanks to tutorials and commentary. The focus is on human drama and the pressure of pro shogi, not on solving a murder.
