【PC】刃鸣散｜刃鳴散らす

人骨踏みしめ怨念喰らい

這いずり進み血を啜る

悩ましきかな我が武道

21世紀初頭

前大戦以来、南北を他国に占領され続けている日本帝国において、首都ではなく最悪の無法都市となってしまった東京。世界はテロリズムの大流行の渦であるにも関わらず、東京には銃声は響かない。爆音が轟くこともない。

聴こえるものは剣撃の音。無数の刃鳴。

これは、そんな荒廃の都市で数多綴られた、小さな戦記録の一つ。武田赤音と、彼に斬られた想い人の仇討を遂げんとする伊烏義阿との、相克の物語である。

A story of revenge.

Hanachirasu is set in a parallel timeline where nuclear weaponry was never developed. As such, Japan continued to fight through World War II, ending aggressions only when Hokkaido and Kyushu were occupied by Russia and America, respectively.

The game itself takes place in early 21st century Tokyo, which has been transformed into a haven for Japanese culture thanks to the nationalistic ideals of the charismatic Ishima Kaigen. Strict policies are in place in to enforce a ban upon firearms within the city limits. Thus, though terrorism and power struggles run rampant, swordplay, not gunfire, claims the lives of those not powerful to stake out their claims here.

Our protagonist is one Takeda Akane, a swordsman driven by a desire to face his one true rival, Igarasu Yoshia. What will stand in his path to his goal?
