Enchanted in the Moonlight – Kiryu, Chikage & Yukinojo –

PROLOGUE
The story begins with the MC waking from a disturbing nightmare. Shaken, she steps into her backyard for fresh air, only to notice an eerie crimson moon. Overcome by dizziness, she collapses, but not before catching sight of two mysterious figures discussing her "special blood."
The next morning, she dismisses the encounter as a dream and heads to her job at the local library. But the day takes a surreal turn as she experiences a series of bizarre and dangerous encounters. A black cat nearly trips her (saved by Samon, her shrine-managing friend), two suspiciously attractive men debate folklore in the kids' section, and bookshelves topple mysteriously, nearly crushing her. Later, a rogue snowball on a sunny day and saves her from a speeding car, and a stranger with icy hands helps her up. The final shock? One of the figures from her "dream" scolds her for being careless.
That night, a fox steals her Inari sushi, and in a twist of fate, transforms into a man mid-bath. Soon, she’s face-to-face with a group of supernatural beings who reveal the truth: her blood is a coveted power source for Ayakashi, and the "accidents" were assassination attempts. Their offer? Protection. in exchange for bearing one of their children.
The game unfolds across seven unique routes, each focusing on a different Ayakashi’s village conflict.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Chikage
A ruthless tengu leader who values power above all. Abandoned as a child and raised by thieves, he clawed his way to the top, adopting orphaned Koten to spare him a similar fate. Cold and critical, he initially sees the MC as a tool to amplify his strength, but beneath his arrogance lies fierce loyalty. His jealousy flares around Kyoga, and his lack of human-world knowledge leads to endearing (or frustrating) misunderstandings. Bonus: he hoards shiny things and despises cats.
Yukinojo
A yukibito whose heart froze after a human lover moved on without him. In other routes, he’s the group’s sweetheart; in his route, he’s glacial, treating the MC with icy disdain until her tears thaw his defenses. Their slow-burn romance blossoms through shared gardening, but patience is key: he’s the hardest to win over.
Kiryu
A dragon clan heir turned reclusive novelist. Raised to despise humans, he defied his father by embracing their world, though he distrusts women chasing his status. A classic kuudere, he’s aloof until he’s not, melting into flustered affection. His route delves into clan politics and the weight of legacy.
MY THOUGHTS
This game holds a special place in my heart as one of my first Voltage Inc. experiences and the one that hooked me on visual novels. The Ayakashi lore, layered character arcs, and blend of danger and romance are masterfully done. My only gripe? Shinra’s absence in the Steam port (thankfully, I’d already bought his route on mobile!).
