Slogan: Twilight Glass Moon, Fairy Tale Princess

Kagetsu Tohya (歌月十夜, Kagetsu Tōya?, Ten Nights of the Verses and Moon) is TYPE-MOON's sequel to their earlier doujin visual novel game, Tsukihime, released in August 10, 2001 at Comiket 60[3].

Story[]

Kagetsu Tohya consists of "Twilight Glass Moon, Fairy Tale Princess", the long main story with many branches, and several shorter side stories that are unlocked one after another after related events in the main story have been read. Ten of these side stories are combined as "Ten Nights of Dream".

Twilight Glass Moon, Fairy Tale Princess[]

One year after the events of Tsukihime, Shiki is a victim of an accident. After this accident, Shiki awakens into a strange dream wherein he repeats the same day over and over. There are infinitely many endings to the day, but it always begins anew after each day. Eventually, Shiki discovers that he must find Len, the creator of the dream, if he wishes to escape.

The gameplay is exactly the same as in Tsukihime. However it uses a slightly different system in which the player goes through each of Shiki's "days" in the dream. The number of choices the player is presented with in Kagetsu Tohya is also significantly larger than in Tsukihime.

The plot is also rather flexible. Certain choices can cancel out facts that have been previously stated. For instance, Shiki can choose to leave for school early, and ponder on whether or not to go with Akiha. If he chooses to go with Akiha, they attend the same school. However, should he choose to go alone, Akiha is revealed to attend a different school from his.

Ten Nights of Dream[]

The first seven of these stories were written by Kinoko Nasu like the rest of Kagetsu Tohya, while the last three are contribution works by others, essentially fanfiction. It is unknown if any of these stories are to be considered canon.
