REVIEW

Released by Orange House in 1990, this title marked the company’s debut as a command-selector adventure game. While featuring a classic fantasy premise where a schoolgirl is summoned to another world to rescue a kidnapped princess, it introduces unique everyday elements such as working part-time jobs to afford food. It is also notable for being a pioneer in supporting MIDI sound sources at the time. Along with its rich illustrations, the game stands as a significant historical document representing the dawn of the Bishoujo game era on the PC-8801.

The ancient evil god Yoma, once sealed away by a hero, has been resurrected, leading to the crisis of Princess Sheena’s abduction. When the royal priest casts a summoning ritual, an ordinary schoolgirl named Ryoko Kawashima is accidentally pulled into this fantasy realm from her way home from school. Entrusted with a holy sword, she must embark on a quest to save the princess, but with no money for supplies, she must work odd jobs to make ends meet. This is a command-selection adventure game that chronicles the struggle and adventure of a girl in a strange land.
