STORY:
On the first day of a new school term, high school student Akane Motomiya, her classmate Tenma Morimura, and their underclass friend Shimon Nagareyama are sucked into a mysterious old well. When they awake, they are in Kyo, another world that resembles Kyoto during the Heian Period. According to the young scion of the Star Clan, Fujihime, Akane is the Ryujin no Miko who has come to save Kyo from the ambitions of the Oni Clan. In this task, the Akane has the help of eight men known as the Hachiyo, and her friends Tenma and Shimon number among them. Initially, Akane is bewildered by her new circumstances, but she gradually comes to face up to her own destiny and understand the world of Kyo.
Based on the original story, Harukanaru Toki no naka de - Banue Yuugi is a new game created however as a monopoly version.
One day you wake up and realises there are the four of you, in order to prove that you are the real Miko, you have to try to win mini games and earn fuda and give them out as gifts to win trusts and intimacy from the Hachiyo and Fuji Hime. By the end of the period, the Hachiyo will cast their votes on which Miko they believe deserves to be the real one and thus remain.
The fun part is, you get to see another player travel around earning fuda, and you can take the Hachiyo that accompanies you to fight against that player and her Hachiyo. The Miko that was defeated will lose her fuda and the trust of both Hachiyo.
Characters that you can conquer: Minamoto no Yorihisa, Moriyama Tenma, Inori, Nagayama Shimon, Tachibana no Tomomasa, Fujiwara no Takamichi, Eisen, Abe no Yasuaki
Its the chibi version, and more a monopoly game than a dating sim. Although there are love confession scenes towards the end, but treat it more as a board game than the previous Haruka games. I personally liked it because I enjoy Monopoly very much.
