Well, I did it! After, I’m-not-sure-how-many-months, I finished Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani! I started this game last spring (maybe?), finishing Shiratsuki, Akuroou, and Hira’s routes long before I started doing write-ups for this blog (and maybe someday, I’ll get around to writing about these characters!).
I have to say, I genuinely enjoyed this game! It was such a pleasant surprise and I’m really glad I gave it a chance. The characters are delightful and the world of Sakuratani is interesting. I especially loved all the voice actors’ performances and I would recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a slice-of-life, Japanese mythology influenced otome game!
