Game world
Kagematsu is located in feudal Japan during the so-called Sengoku period . The players represent women who are some of the last remaining people living in a small village while the men were drafted into the war. At the beginning of the game, the players determine a threat that threatens the village and from which only the eponymous Rōnin Kagematsu can save the inhabitants. During the game, the women try to seduce the ronin to protect their village.
concept
The game makes gender roles and unequal power relations in reverse roles the content, since a woman is expressly supposed to take over the game management and the role of the ronin. The village women, on the other hand, can only advertise their promise with "charm" or "innocence", but are dependent on the luck of the dice and the ratings of the ronin.
