Getting Started

House of Shinobi is a sandbox RPG visual novel — there's no single "correct" path. Your choices shape the story, and the world reacts to how you play.

Core Mechanics

Day/Night Cycle — different events and characters are available depending on the time of day. Explore at night for different outcomes than during the day.
Stats Matter — strength, trust, and relationship stats gate certain events. Train, build relationships, and explore to unlock new paths.
Revisit Events — many events have multiple stages. Revisiting a location or character may reveal new content you haven't seen before.
Love vs. Hatred — your approach to relationships opens fundamentally different storylines. Neither path is "wrong" — they simply lead to different experiences.
Explore Everything — hidden items, optional events, and secret interactions are scattered throughout. Check back after major story beats for new content.

Tips for New Players

Talk to everyone. NPCs have different dialogue based on time of day and your stats.
Save often and on multiple slots — some choices have permanent consequences.
Don't rush. The game rewards thorough exploration over speed.
The in-game interactive guide (available from v0.23e) tracks your objectives and progress.

In-Game Interactive Guide

Starting from v0.23e, House of Shinobi includes a built-in interactive guide that tracks your objectives, shows your progress across all storylines, and helps you discover what to do next — all without leaving the game. No spoilers, just direction.
