Screenshots
Sakura Spirit is an ecchi visual novel that follows Gushiken Takahiro, a powerful Judo fighter who finds himself in feudal Japan after praying at a local temple. The game is produced by Winged Cloud, targeted to Western audiences, and features pop-culture references and post-modern jokes. The gameplay of Sakura Spirit is linear, with no branching paths or multiple endings, unlike other visual novels in the genre. Players scroll through the images while reading the plot, and only one choice is available at the very end of the narrative, which has no effect on the storyline. The plot centers around bringing peace between the fox-girls and humans, with Gushiken Takahiro as the protagonist. The fox-girls are presented as fan service, with fox ears and tails that cater to players with the fox fetish. Overall, Sakura Spirit is a linear visual novel that follows a straightforward plot with a focus on ecchi content.
