Trap Genesis

Trap Genesis is a visual novel and the finale of the Trap Shrine trilogy. At Kotomusubi shrine, chief priest Masato and his family prepare for a festival after the ban on love imposed by Tamaki and Subaru is lifted. Their peace is disrupted when Hinowa, a self-proclaimed goddess who is actually an ancient goddess of chaos, threatens to engulf the world in chaos and darkness. The group’s goddesses make a final stand against her.

Characters

Masato is the shrine’s chief priest. Yui, Mishiro, Subaru and Tamaki are his wives, and they must face Hinowa’s threat before he can settle into married life.

Hinowa is the incarnation of a Komainu enshrined at the shrine. This klutzy, self-proclaimed goddess has the power to destroy the world and toys with Masato using her newfound abilities, though her true intentions remain unclear.

Mishiro is a crossdressing shrine maiden and Masato’s devoted sister-in-law, with a possessive streak. She and Yui have reconciled over their love for Masato and hope to be the best wives they can be. Subaru, the former chief shrine maiden, was initially reluctant to accept love between men and crossdressers. After recognizing her feelings for Masato, she became a supportive member of the family, though she and Mishiro clash over who is his legal wife.

Yui is a crossdressing goddess who was sealed in a cave at Kotomusubi shrine and is now known as a hinky goddess. When she runs out of power, she shrinks to a small form. Tamaki, her sister and another kind of hinky goddess, has powers opposite to Yui’s. She came to Earth to seal Yui again and worked with Subaru to take over the shrine, but meeting Masato led her to believe that love matters more.
