This is an impressions piece based on a single playthrough of the game. The full game has multiple worlds and endings.
Amnesia has to be one of the most played out narrative devices in fiction. It’s an easy way to create a sense of mystery and give the protagonist the same denial of information that the audience has. That gets weird real fast when you drop that into the context of a romance, especially when you’re not trying to build up a relationship but figure out what it was to start with.

Do you ever fantasize about bishounen hunks? Are said hunks historical samurai from the turn of the century? Do you dream of living with them until they give up their most intimate secrets and confess their love to you? Are some of them vampire-like half demons?
Well, you have very specific fantasies. Fortunately, Hakuoki also has those fantasies covered.

With the latest release of Hakuoki on mobile platforms, I thought I’d throw up a general primer for both Hakuoki and the otome (maiden) game genre. Consider this the start point if this is your first foray into either otome, visual novels, or Hakuoki. If those are already familiar to you, feel free to skip to the full review.
