Description

 

Plot Point: For reasons presently unknown, Yuyuko throws Youmu down a hole.  Why?  It's Yuyuko, does she really need a reason?  As it turns out though, there really is a constantly-developing story in this game - we just don't understand any of it yet because there's no English patch yet.
How It Works: Despite still being in Japanese, we know quite a lot about this game at this point; you start off with 1200 HP and a basic shot attack at experience level 1, in Area 1 (the game confusingly calls these areas "levels" also).  Throughout the course of the game, Youmu will traverse six large Areas, eventually locate both her swords (which you can slice and dice with) and other equipment (which require Charisma to use), plus Energy Tanks to extend her HP gauge by 100 HP each, so that by the time you meet the final boss, you're more than ready.
Saving & Shopping: Anytime you enter a Kirisame Magic Shop location (there's one in each Area), your progress is saved automatically, and you're fully-healed.  Also, you can purchase potions (and some basic equipment) for use; see the 100% maps for a list of what you can purchase.
Karma: Karma in this game is negative; it's a bad thing.  You slowly gather negative karma for killing spirits, and the higher your KP, the more it hurts when you take a hit, and the weaker your attacks become.  To keep this in check, you can buy Karma potions, which will remove some of your KP at the cost of hurting you a bit (because drinking these hurts a bit, I recommend chugging them near a shop).

 

100% Map (Region-Colored)
This is the region-colored version of the map for those like me who have difficulty differentiating between different areas on larger maps like this one, and need color-coding.  There is also an original non-colored version available.  Despite how big you're likely to see it in the preview if you click it, its actual resolution is far bigger; download it from the Extras section above to get the full-size 2040x1964 map. [We lost the full sized version :^) I'll add them back once someone is able to find the original file somewhere]
