As the title suggests, ``Ayakashi Princess: Prequel'' is the first work in the ``Ayakashi Princess'' series, and is a prequel to the next work, which is the main story. It is a Metroidvania where you explore various stages by making full use of remaining bullet management, evasion, and "charm" that turns enemies into allies. Story The main character is Tamamohime, the daughter of the nine-tailed monster, Tamamo-mae. She was enjoying her leisurely life in a huge mansion with her mother, but one day she woke up to find herself outside the mansion grounds. As she turned towards the mansion that towered over the sky in the distance, she didn't miss the moment when the sky glowed magically. Feeling uneasy about something, she heads home to her mother. Is this world a dream or...? Game features This is a game where the player explores various connected stages and ultimately returns to her mother, Tamamomae. The setting is the realm where the demon fox (Yoko) lives. A wide variety of demon foxes will stand in front of the player. The main character, Tamamo Hime, has unique abilities. She can use powerful ranged attacks, but she can only use them six times in a row at a time. Reloading is required for reuse. She can wait to reload like a normal shooter, but she can also actively reload by using "load evasion" which reloads at the same time as evasion. Her health is only 5. However, she can recover her health by drawing enemy attacks to the limit and avoiding them. And her illicit ability, ``Charm'', allows her to forcibly turn enemies into allies. Use these to overcome her obstacles and lead her to her mother.
