What is Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds?

You play as Chizuru, a young woman searching for her father in Bakumatsu-era Kyoto. In this historical fantasy visual novel, you read the story and make choices that shape your relationships with Shinsengumi samurai and lead to different endings. It is the first part of a two-part story.
