When it comes to finding someone you like Ayakashi Gohan has plenty of choices.
For me though, I really liked her being more upbeat and looking at the positives of life. You could argue that the human route with her a little more withdrawn fits in better with the early part of her story. The Ayakashi route, on the other hand, has a much more outgoing and willing to try new things Rin. The human side of the story has three characters for her to “woo” but Rin herself feels more distance and a little more standoffish. What is interesting about this is that Rin is like a completely different person depending on the path you take. The game sets you off with Rin when she is young and for lack of a better term “damaged” you can then play the game on two different routes, the Ayakashi route, and the human route. I always think that Honeybee does a great job when it comes to storytelling and Ayakashi Gohan is no different. Here Rin learns that life can be fun and that eating a good meal can fix many problems life throws your way. This is a “magical” place where humans live in harmony with Ayakashi. Her life takes a turn for the better when she goes to stay with her grandmother at Momoji Village. Her backstory really will make you say aww quite a lot. Her mother works as… well, let’s just say lady of the night so she is rather drawn and distance. The overall premise of Ayakashi Gohan is one that I was able to get right behind very early on. At this point, I pretty much know what I am getting into with a Honeybee game, but Ayakashi Gohan has so much charm to it, branching paths and an interesting main character in Rin that I found myself very engrossed in what was going on. Ayakashi Gohan is another visual novel style game from the good folks at Honeybee.
