About this game

Kaguya Hime Densetsu is a traditional Japanese adventure game loosely based on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, the folktale of Kaguya, a girl raised on Earth who eventually returns to the moon as its princess.

Gameplay centers on selecting commands from menus. Locations are viewed from a first-person perspective, with some top-down navigation sections. Available actions include look, take, and using inventory items, along with additional commands such as kiss, attack, and undress.
