About the Game

Now on Kickstarter!


On that fateful night, little did you know that a simple wish and a careless “yes” would turn your entire world upside down.

The reality you once knew has been replaced with one you’ve only seen in games and movies… The only difference? You’re the character and life is the player. As time slowly ticks down to the pivotal choice you’ll have to make, will you be able to survive the in-betweens? And can you say goodbye to the ones who matter most?


From Lunaniere, a brand new subsidiary of Afterthought Studios, comes a 40-hour long epic of a girl from modern Tokyo who has slipped back in time and right into the end of an era, just in time to witness the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the war that followed in its wake.

With lives, her survival, and her heart at stake, will this 21st-century city girl ever find a way back?

Experience romance and intrigue in the time of the legendary Boshin War through Lunaniere’s immersive writing, artwork, and soundtrack!
