What Hakuoki DS is

Hakuoki DS is a visual novel game developed by Design Factory and released in 2010. It was published by Idea Factory. It is available on Nintendo DS only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The Bakumatsu period, a gap between the past splendour of the Shogunate era and the modern glamor of the Meiji period, is one of the most violent and intriguing places to start a romance. Chizuru Yukimura has set off for Kyoto to find her missing father, but accidentally gets herself wrapped up in the intrigues of the Shinsengumi, a group of warriors who defends the fading powers of the shogunate. The men in Shinsengumi are not merely fighting Emperor Meiji's forces and the strange demons, they are also hiding a terrible secret. They are hiding something among them.
