In the twilight realm of Higanbana, where fractured timelines and forgotten yōkai converge, you inherit a dilapidated teahouse that bridges the living world and the spirit plane. Your task? Rebuild it into a sanctuary for displaced monster girls—each a manifestation of humanity’s fading myths. But these yōkai aren’t mere refugees; their presence stabilizes the teahouse’s crumbling chronostasis. As you idle-click to gather ethereal resources, deeper mysteries unfold: Why does the kitsune bartender flinch at broken mirrors? What pact binds the thunder-wielding raiju to a silent gramophone? Unravel their stories thread by thread, lest the teahouse collapses into temporal oblivion.
Core Mechanics
1. Temporal Tapping – Idle-click to harvest "Momentum," a resource tied to real-world time zones; log in during dawn/dusk for bonus spectral energy to upgrade character bonds.
2. Fable Fusion – Merge yōkai abilities in tactical mini-games (e.g., combine a snow woman’s frost with a kappa’s water jets to freeze invading spirits).
3. Memory Resonance – Decorate rooms with era-specific items (Taishō-era lamps, Heian scrolls) to trigger flashback sequences that alter a girl’s skills and story outcomes.
Standout Features
1. Evolving Aesthetics – Character illustrations dynamically shift with affinity levels; a shy nekomata’s tail splits into two upon trust milestones, unlocking new idle animations.
2. Asynchronous Storylines – Progress multiple character arcs simultaneously via a branching "Sakura Timeline" map, where choices in one tale create ripples in others.
3. Ambient Mythos – Hidden lore surfaces through environmental cues—a crackling radio plays distorted folk songs hinting at a shiranui’s tragic origin.
Pro Tips
1. Leverage Time Zones – Schedule upgrades during your local midnight to activate "Yūrei Hours," tripling idle gains but risking random hauntings that pause progress.
2. Curate Decor Synergy – Pair a zashiki-warashi’s paper lantern with tatami mats to boost her healing aura, vital for surviving late-game spirit invasions.
3. Embrace Idle Neglect – Occasionally let the teahouse decay slightly to attract repair-focused events where girls reveal vulnerability-locked backstories.
