Jishogi

Jishogi is a puzzle game, walking simulator and visual novel about revenge, forgiveness, talent, ethics and sexuality. Its story follows Otonashi Mayu, a quiet, intimidating girl who is excellent at shogi and is regularly tormented by her worst bully, Fifield. The game begins with Fifield's worst act yet.

Inside Mayu's mind

Magic exists in this society, and Fifield is a witch. She uses her power to invade Mayu's mind, seeking her dark secrets and the truth about what Mayu is and why. But the spell is fragile, and if things go too far, Mayu may become the hunter rather than the hunted. The story has moral ambiguity, with potential for both good and evil.

Spatial puzzles

The puzzles are 2D spatial challenges that use chess and shogi pieces as a theme. They are closer to solitaire than to playing chess or shogi, and you do not need prior knowledge of either game. In-game help is available, shogi pieces are color-coded for memorization, and an easy mode is designed to be completable by anyone.

Story and endings

The game contains between 3 and 10 hours of content, depending on how many endings you want to see and how quickly you solve the puzzles.
