SYNOPSIS
The protagonist, a quite normal high school girl named Ayazuki Mei, meets the self proclaimed illusionist Charlie on a night with a red full moon. Due to his hand she travels through time to the Meiji era of Japan. There, where Mononoke had been observed, was a sort of mysterious Meiji Era “Tokyo”.
Following Charlie’s lead, she arrives at the Rokumeikan building.
Waiting at the party the protagonist sneaks into are an assemblege of historic personages. Ogai Mori, Shunsou Hishida, Otojirou Kawakami, Kyoka Izumi, Fujita Goro, and Yakumo Koizumi.
During the protagonists interaction with those men, the prized Meiji Era ability to see Mononoke “Tamayori” is awakened within her. Because she holds this power, her relationship with those men evolves…
In an unfamilier era, an awakening of love blooms by living among these handsome men and interacting with them.
Will the protagonist return to her original time? Or…?
A love that crosses space-time… What could the conclusion be?
Meikoi was originally a mobile game. It was later ported to the PSP in 2013 and later the PS Vita in 2016 with new characters and CGs. The Switch and Steam ports will follow the PS Vita version.
This also marks the first time the game will be available to an English-speaking audience.
The game’s allure lies in its premise: players can ‘fall in love with great figures in the mysterious Meiji Era “Tokyo.”‘ It is described as both a fantasy and historical romance game.
In case you didn’t know, the game also has an anime adaptation – you can watch it on Crunchyroll.
