Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a detective RPG set in 1930s Japan, where players control Raidou Kuzunoha, a Devil Summoner, to investigate supernatural mysteries. Players explore various locations, gather information, buy and sell items, and engage in combat by summoning and utilizing demons.
Story
The Capital
By the Japanese calendar, it's Taisho year 20. The tension between ancient ways and modern technology is tighter than a noose. The stage is set for a hard-luck detective and his young assistant to meet a dame with a shocker of a request.
"I want you to...kill me.” Before Shouhei Narumi and Raidou Kuzunoha can come up with an answer, some mysterious figures snatch the girl, and the game is afoot. What these two don't know is that a simple kidnapping is about to spark a chain of events that will shake the nation. The search might lead them over their heads in a deep pool of darkness.
Devil Summoner
The Kuzunoha Clan and the Japanese gods go way back. The Kuzunohas made a name for themselves in ancient times, when four up-and-coming Devil Summoners showed Yatagarasu's enemies the door.
Ever since, the names of the Four Devil Summoners have been handed down as honorary titles in the Kuzunoha clan. The best of 'em was Raidou. If anyone can get to the bottom of this kidnapping, it's the newly-appointed Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th.
Raidou's Haunts
Detective work takes you to a lot of establishments, some on the up-and-up, some a little shadier. Here's a few of the joints you'll be frequenting.
Going Door-to-Door
The Capital plays host to all manner of dives, from high-class watering holes to low-rent junk shops. Some of the most important business goes on behind closed doors, so learn well the ins and outs of the Capital's real estate or you'll be left out in the cold.
Nameless Shrine
A sketchy shrine with no name in the heart of the mountains. Ring the bell out front to chew the fat with Raidou's real boss, the Herald of Yatagarasu. You don't have to report back to her all the time, it's just the polite thing to do.
Summoner Rank
When Raidou's got more Total Loyalty from his flunkies, hit up the Herald to see if she'll boost his Summoner Rank.
Ritual of Entry
Once the Dark Realm is open for business, the Herald of Yatagarasu is the one to talk to about getting in. Only she's got the insider knowledge to perform the ritual of entry and send you to the Dark Realm—question is, do you really want to be there?
Konnou-Ya
Konnou-Ya is the antique shop near Narumi's place, which does a handy little sideline in ammunition. The prices may seem high, but if you shoot enough business the owner's way, he might bend the rules a little for you, maybe even selling you the stuff he doesn't show squarejohns. The basement plays host to Victor's Gouma-Den.
Buy
•
Act casually with "Buy items," or live dangerously with "Buy ammo."
•
After choosing which stock you'll peruse with the button, use the directional buttons/left analog stick to choose how many you want.
•
Don't be a stranger, because the owner gets new stock in from time to time.
Sell
•
Hock your items for cold, hard cash.
•
Choose something to sell with the button, then use the directional buttons/left analog stick to decide how many you'll part with.
Talk
The owner of Konnou-Ya isn't the friendly type, but he might kick loose some juicy info now and then.
Save Point
Saving often is the best insurance policy against toughs. See page 10 for advice on saving.
Gouma-Den
Pay a visit to Victor's Gouma-Den down in the basement. All sorts of things go on down there, and most are best kept mum from the owner.
Nakisawame
The rare demon that'd rather fix you up than tear you a new one, Nakisawame hangs out in the Dark Realm.
Raidou Kuzunoha
In an exclusive interview with the boy, we learned a few things about his dangerous profession and the risks he goes through to keep each and every one of us safe. Nearly every day, the youngster sees combat against demonic foes that would cause a normal man to run screaming—how does he do it?
Smart planning is the key, according to Kuzunoha. Every monster has a weakness that can be exploited with either his special bullets or the magic attacks of the demons he can summon. Once his foe has been knocked for a loop, our secret savior can rush in and clean its clock with a well-placed slash.
"If I don't have any demons like that," says the Capital's cunning combatant, "it's also a good opportunity to confine it to one of my tubes." It's a contest of wills between our indomitable ingénue and the dazed demon, so young Kuzunoha prefers to weaken it first with a few well-placed slashes of his swift sword.
Would-be heroes take heed: Kuzunoha's painful experience can tell you that most demons will overpower even the gutsiest gladiator under the full moon. Our brave boy works by day at the Narumi Detective Agency, where his demons form a most unusual support staff. "I couldn't solve cases without them," says Kuzunoha, who then explained how he'd
