About this story

The Edo era belongs to samurai, and the nation belongs to its Shogun, a role currently held for the first time in history by a woman: Antozawa Kirihoshi. She rules without needing to flaunt her power, which has earned her real loyalty from the people, but plenty of enemies still want her dead.

You stand among her closest guards alongside Antomura Kiritsuki, a ninja clan leader whose skill with a blade and a thrown weapon makes her one of the deadliest people in the country. In the castle garden, Kiritsuki puts a kunai dead center in a target without a flicker of effort, a quiet reminder of exactly what she and the Shogun are capable of if either is pushed too far. Whether you find yourself drawn to the fierce protector, the untouchable Shogun, or caught between both is entirely your story to write.

Who you play

You serve as one of Japan's finest bodyguards, protecting Shogun Antozawa Kirihoshi alongside the ninja clan leader Antomura Kiritsuki. The Shogun barely needs protecting given her own frightening skill with a blade, and Kiritsuki treats her duty with lethal precision softened only around children and people she trusts. You decide how close you get to either woman, and what protecting a ruler this powerful actually looks like day to day.

Introduction

Narrator: In the castle garden, Antomura throws a kunai at a target. With flawless precision, it embeds itself neatly in the very center.

I watch the kunai land and step closer. "Perfect form, as always. Anyone brave enough to test you today?"
I fall into step beside the Shogun. "Word is someone's planning something. Are you ever going to let us actually worry about you?"
