The Dagger of Hisei description

The Dagger of Hisei — Chapter One: Prologue

A coming‑of‑age tale set in Kikoku, a newly formed nation born from the ruins of a fallen dynasty. In the shadowed heart of the imperial capital, a secret organization called Hiseido pulls the strings of fate—from intelligence gathering to assassination—shaping the nation from behind the scenes.

Takekosen, a girl who chooses the path of darkness, steps into the hidden world and must face her final trial to inherit the name of Hisei. This chapter marks the official beginning of her journey, awakening her to a fate she never asked for, and introducing a world where politics, power, and personal resolve collide.

Chapter One is the prologue: it presents the setting and main characters, laying the groundwork for a larger, ongoing saga. If you expect a conclusive ending, note that this installment is just the start of a longer narrative that unfolds over time.

Game features include a fully voiced Japanese cast to heighten emotional nuance and dramatic dialogue, an original soundtrack crafted to fit the Eastern fantasy and political intrigue, and a tightly crafted visual novel experience that centers on fate, loyalty, and the costs of power.

Estimated playtime is approximately 90 minutes. Despite its brevity, the chapter delivers a rich experience that blends atmosphere, character drama, and a world steeped in shadows and intrigue.

Development is indie and personal: a small team released the story in chapters, each self-contained while contributing to a larger arc. Visuals and scenes are largely AI-assisted in their creation, refined under human supervision and creative direction to preserve a cohesive aesthetic.

Future chapters are planned as paid DLC, inviting you to follow Takekosen’s evolution and the evolving power structure of Hiseido as the greater story unfolds.

Main characters include:

  • Takekosen (CV: Minamo Aoto) — The successor-to-be, an orphan who stands at the threshold of her final trial to earn the name of Hisei.
  • Hagun (CV: Ryuta Date) — The Blade in Shadow, a mercilessly precise former assassin who mentors Takekosen.
  • Doushu (CV: Toshinari Taga) — The Watcher Above All, leader of Hiseido and guardian of its secrets.
  • Hakuin (CV: Sou Katatsuka) — The Quiet Strength, a seasoned Doushi and Hagun’s trusted ally.
  • Enji (CV: Shiro Yukino) — The Girl from the Undercity, a mysterious child whose memories hint at a painful past.
  • Mankyu (CV: Ryo Ishitaki) — The Old Hand of Tenkyuuban, a veteran gang boss who clings to pride in a city that has forgotten his kind.

Theme song: Tobikakeru (Soaring Beyond the Heavens) by Ichiko, with the main theme and full soundtrack by Ichiko, complementing the game’s atmospheric world.

This is the start of Takekosen’s journey through a world where secrets govern the fate of nations, and every choice carries the weight of destiny.
