## What is Tsubaki Ninpocho?

Tsubaki Ninpocho is an escape-game style tap adventure with a theme of old Japan.
There are three game parts and three story parts, and the story progresses while changing the stage.

Since there are many unfamiliar objects in this game, the difficulty level is adjusted lightly.
Hints and walkthrough are provided, so even if you are not used to solving riddles, you will be fine.
I hope you can relax and enjoy the old Japan.
*The historical background is not perfect. Please enjoy this game as an entertainment.

Attention!
You can skip the story part, but if you like solving mysteries, this game may not be enough for you.
Images of realistic weapons, and their descriptions, will appear.
There are no scenes that will hurt people or fall under the category of horror, but please refrain from playing if you are concerned about it.

It contains a translation of the Japanese text into English text. But I don't speak English at all, so I don't even know if it's correct.
I think it's better than the Japanese version, but it may be quite difficult to understand the text, sorry.

There are in-app purchases, but the game part is no different. You can play to the end for free.

Simple explanation of how to play

### 5/5 — Great game but I’m stuck

*2022-05-14, version 1.3.2*

I am on chapter 2 but can’t find the blue Kunai!  Love this game though, and the hints are good but can’t open the chest.

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2022-01-16, version 1.3.2*

I enjoyed the gameplay and story! The only puzzle that threw me off was the hand sign puzzle in the last chapter. Even after looking up the solution I didn’t understand it. The game was overall fun though! I’d recommend it to anybody who likes escape games. And the story has some nice humor to it as well!

### 5/5 — Great historic-setting escape

*2021-09-14, version 1.3.1*

Combines the ease of point-and-click, the problem-solving trickiness of classic games, and carefully researched aesthetics. Three levels of challenging puzzles, with a connecting story that’s optional. Great experience: I meant to try out one level and couldn’t put it down.

Hint and walkthrough system do well at explaining without giving too much away.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2021-04-21, version 1.3.1*

Has more of an old school escape game feel. Very interesting story, great graphics, smooth gameplay. I found it to be both entertaining and relaxing. Would love to see more from developers.

### 5/5 — Authentic

*2020-11-22, version 1.2*

Very Enjoyable challenge. Helps to know a little of Japanese culture. Hope to see more escape game puzzles.

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Japan at that time was quite different from Japan today, and it was hard work, but I had fun making it.
I'm looking forward to making a new game again, so let's meet again.

### 5/5 — Hooray!!

*2020-10-26, version 1.1.1*

Now I can understand it!!
Thank you!!

This was a terrific game even before the English translation. Excellent graphics, attention to detail, and superb puzzles.

**Developer response:** I wasn't sure if I could get the words across, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for playing!

### 5/5 — Makes me wish I understood Japanese

*2020-08-17, version 1.0.1*

It’s definitely playable but would be easier if I understood the language. I feel like I’m missing a lot of historical details as well as clues. I very much appreciate factory.112 for releasing it in the US.

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing!
A lot of the things in this game require an explanation of what they are, even for people living in Japan. I think it was very difficult to play this game without knowing the language.
Hopefully we'll be releasing a translated version of the game someday...
