Sakura Taisen Monogatari: Mysterious Paris
Sakura Taisen Monogatari: Mysterious Paris takes place in Paris of the
1920’s, sharing the story arc and featuring characters from Sakura Taisen 3.
In this game, the player takes control over Kojirou Akechi, a detective from
Japan. His sister Miki is a dancer at Paris Kagekidan, the same organization
featured in Sakura Taisen 3. Kojirou comes from Japan to Paris to see Miki
performing as a front-row dancer for the first time at “Les Chattes Noires”.
However, upon arriving he finds out Miki’s roommate Elza has disappeared.
Kojirou will have to solve the mystery, that will lead him to secret dark
societies that are flourishing in Paris.
Unlike the previous Sakura Taisen games, Mysterious Paris is a pure
Japanese-style adventure, without any battles. The game progresses as a
detective investigation, which involves talking to suspects, gathering clues,
etc. In the end the player receives a title, depending on his/her PI skills.
Interaction with the characters is performed using the same time-limit system
as the previous two games: the player has to choose a response quickly, since
silence is also considered response.
