Our take on Yukinas Diary
The diary format places the narrative at the center, but it also makes the game’s identity depend heavily on following Yukina’s written account and companion-focused story rather than on a clearly described range of gameplay systems.

Yukina’s Diary is an RPG told through the heroine’s diary, following her return to a castle as her world collapses.
