## What is SHI?

MIDORI, sequel to the award-winning puzzle game SHI•RO, tells the wondrous story of priest Yoshida. Together, you leave home and bring back hope to the people of Kyoto.

Travel through dark forests to invite the ancient gods, the Kami-sama, to Yoshida’s shrine. Solve challenging, handmade puzzles by placing emptiness in between maple trees to the Kami-sama.

Animal messengers of the gods will cross your way and offer their help. Learn Japanese words from them and whisper with the wind.

### 5/5 — 2023 and AKA still isn’t out.

*2023-02-05*

Great game and all, but it still says “look forward to the release of AKA in 2022”, even though 2022 is over. In other words, the message needs updating. Not forcing you, I just want to know what the holdup is with AKA. Is it the same reason there was such a big gap between the first one and this one?
