Travel back to olden times and become Director of your own city! Attract new residents and try to become the greatest city in the land! Add buildings like restaurants and teahouses to make your town a place where samurai and commoners alike will want to live. This is the past, so don’t forget to add some touches of traditional culture! Features like temples and gaming halls can give your city a lot of personality, especially when arranged in harmony with the surrounding environment. You might end up attracting tourists to the town, who will move in if they like it enough. It’s not all fun and games in the mists of history. Sometimes ghost, demons, and other baddies will come to attack your city. You’ll have to summon your own Guardian Spirits to banish the evil ones and keep your townsfolk safe. Consider your spirits’ abilities and placement for the best effects – strategy is the key word! With a whole host of land expansion options, facilities, and residents to collect and customize, it’s never been easier to create a city that will go down in history.

• Facility Combos: Placing facilities with good compatibility near each other can give a street a whole new personality! Combos you’ve discovered are saved in your Street Index and can be carried over into New Game Plus.
• Items: Items can be used to upgrade your residents and facilities. Using an item on a facility will affect all facilities of that type.
