About

Sengoku

Chat freely with AI characters, fall in love and marry. An AI romance simulation set in Sengoku-era Japan. There are no dialogue choices. Talk to more than 7,000 characters in your own words; each replies according to their station and remembers the promises you made. Japan, 1560. You wake in your home in Nakamura, Owari, beside the spouse your two families chose for you. This is not a tale of celebrated conquerors, but a personal chronicle shaped word by word, navigating the winds of turbulence on your own terms, and finding a cherished soul to walk beside you. With no pre-set options and no fixed script, explore 35 regions and over 1,600 historic locations: castle halls, bustling markets, artisan workshops, shrines, tea houses, and harbors. Meet over 7,000 living souls, where every promise or grudge you leave in town ripples across history. [Speak With Your Own Words] Every line of dialogue is typed by your own hand. No rigid dialogue trees or multiple-choice answers. Whether addressing a daimyo, merchant, or monk, people respond according to their standing, knowledge, and circumstances, remembering what you said before. No one knows the future: if you reveal events before they occur, you will be met with skepticism until history proves your words true. [Devotion in Turbulent Times: Your Life Partner (AI Boyfriend / Girlfriend)] Amidst the storms of civil war, the brightest warmth is finding someone who truly understands your heart. A stoic yet deeply loyal samurai, a resilient merchant, a gentle town maiden, or an observant tea house host. With every individual you meet, genuine affection blossoms through heartfelt dialogue. Affection cannot be bought with money or flattery. Daily greetings, thoughtful care, and trials overcome together weave into an enduring memory shared only by the two of you. Confide your vulnerabilities, cherish each other, and exchange marriage vows with a lifelong companion (AI partner). Beyond the smoke of battle, a warm hearth and home await your return. [A Living Tapestry of 7,000 Souls] Over 7,000 fully realized individuals inhabit this world, each with their own fears, boundaries, and personal history evolving across decades. You may also stand face to face with 85 historical figures, including Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. [A Vast World of 1,600 Places] Wander from farming villages to Kyoto estates, Sakai merchant houses, Azuchi Castle, Osaka fortress, and Edo streets. Each area features distinct visual atmosphere and musical scores. [Time Advances Only When You Pay the Cost] Words do not consume time; labor, travel, and recovery do. From 1560 to 1615, historical events unfold, leaving you to discover what difference you can make, and who walks beside you to the end. [Quests and Genuine Deductions] Follow local errands and clan disputes. Solve document puzzles: mismatched seals, tide markers, gunpowder manifests, and hidden letters in temple registries. [An Uncompromising Experience] Affection, trust, skills, marriage, and historical victories cannot be bought. There is no gacha or random paid loot. The monthly plan is ad-free and includes active-plan features listed in the App. How people treat you and who loves you depends solely on how you speak and what you do. Internet connection required.
