Shikoku志 Special: Sake Pools & Meat Udon Chronicles

Synopsis

Your mission: Conquer Shikoku, get intimate with heroines, go sightseeing together, and indulge in gourmet cuisine to your heart’s content!

Become the ruler of Shikoku and embark on a life of luxury!

■SIGHTSEEING & GOURMET

While this is a war game, it has a romantic comedy vibe mixed with gourmet elements. Enjoy sightseeing with the heroines and deepen your bonds by sampling local specialties. Indigo dyeing experiences, bonito fishing, citrus fruit tastings—Shikoku-exclusive events in abundance!

■RESEARCH-BASED DEVELOPMENT

Extensive field research went into creating the sightseeing and gourmet events. The detail level is extraordinary—we gathered so much information for game development that we could’ve created an actual Shikoku tourism website. (Tourism site links are included as bonus pages.)

■H-SCENE VARIETY

Intimate scenes and flirting with heroines from Shikoku’s four prefectures plus extras. Ranging from sweet romance to deceiving them, getting scolded, or mutual affection.

■DIALECTS

Dialect effect = cuteness multiplied by 100,000! Some characters only use dialect after progressing the scenario and growing closer. Ruby annotations are provided for unfamiliar expressions, so out-of-region players can understand easily.

■GAME SYSTEM

A ‘regional’ conquest simulation, not just territory conquest. Command modern military units—infantry, tanks, artillery—but remember, this is Shikoku. Economic power is weak, food self-sufficiency is lacking, and critical power plants are concentrated in specific areas. Manage domestic affairs and military expansion while considering enemy movements to achieve Shikoku unification. Finding heroines from each prefecture boosts the protagonist’s morale and provides combat bonuses!

■TONE

Bright and comedic overall, with unprecedented sightseeing and gourmet elements. Meanwhile, the SLG portion is serious and tactical. Hard mode features challenging finances and tough enemy AI. Lower difficulties let you enjoy Shikoku casually.
