Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani
Otomate · Dec 2, 2021
About
Ever since she could remember, Akitsu Shino has had the ability to see what others could not: spirits, apparitions, and indescribable creatures. As an adult, this talent leads her to join a secret government agency: The Occult Action Department. Her assignment is with the Sixth Special Preventions Office, and her job is to monitor the powerful beings who travel between her world and the worlds beyond. From her office in Sakuratani, a town in a different dimension, Agent Shino meets several otherworldly individuals with vastly different personalities and abilities: a nine-tailed fox spirit, a mischievous oni, and more. Part gatekeeper, part travel guide, she does her best to get to know these entities and keep them from getting into inter-dimensional trouble.

- Nintendo World Report7.0When you’re going back-to-back-to-back with one genre of game, they can start to run together. I’m glad Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani avoided the urge to lock portions of the game behind completion, and hope this happens more in the future—though hopefully the next romance game I play will have a little more sunlight in it.
- RPGFan8.5Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani doesn’t take each opportunity it gives itself for unique worldbuilding based on rich Japanese folklore, but it’s at its best when presenting feel-good resolutions, which it does on every route. It’s not lore-heavy like Olympia Soirée nor is it a grand spectacle like Code: Realize; rather, it’s a simple but charming palate cleanser of an otome game, and that makes it unique enough to add its own kind of variety to the genre’s lineup.
- Noisy Pixel7.0Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani is a decent otome, but not one that I would recommend to everyone. While I appreciate the English release, the story fails to find its footing in the early moments, which is a shame because the conclusion is exciting.
- Spazio Games4.0Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani è un otome con delle premesse narrative interessanti che purtroppo non riesce a sfruttare il suo potenziale. La trama risulta scialba e priva di mordente, così come i personaggi, privi di vero spessore. Se a questo uniamo una presentazione tutt'altro che memorabile, capirete che ci sono ben pochi motivi per cui soffermarsi su questa uscita, anche per gli appassionati del genere.
Gamer reviews
Awesome game
There are multiple endings for this game. If I understand correctly, possible 15 endings (3 for each Love interest). This game is so easy to navigate, as long as you explore all the options, you can complete all 15 endings. I finished 2 so far, love it. This is the first otome game I played. Really enjoy it and want to explore it more. \*UPDATE: finished 4 love endings, on my midway to the 5th endings. I love the stories. Some ending are funny, weird or a bit abrupt. BUT, I LIKE IT. HIRA is my FAV, what's yours?
