Kagetsu Tohya (歌月十夜, Kagetsu Tōya
?, lit. Ten Nights of the Singing
Moon) is TYPE-MOON's sequel to their earlier dojin
visual novel game,
Tsukihime,
released in August 2001 .
Story
Kagetsu Tohya consists of "Twilight Glass Moon, Fairy Tale
Princess", the long main story with many branches, and several
shorter side stories that are unlocked one after another after
related events in the main story have been read. Ten of these side
stories are combined as "Ten Nights of Dream".
Twilight Grass
Moon, Fairy Tale Princess
One year after the events of Tsukihime (presumably from
the "Good Ending" of Arcueid path, as none of the characters are
dead), Shiki is a
victim of an accident. After this accident, Shiki awakens into a
strange dream wherein he repeats the same day over and over. There
are infinitely many endings to the day, but it always begins anew
after each day. Eventually, Shiki discovers that he must find Len,
the creator of the dream, if he wishes to escape.
The gameplay is exactly the same as in Tsukihime. However it
uses a slightly different system in which the player goes through
each of Shiki's "days" in the dream. The number of choices
presented to the player in Kagetsu Tohya is also significantly
larger than in Tsukihime. Also, due to the plot structure, the
timeframe of Kagetsu Tohya is not linear like Tsukihime, but
circular; that is, after completing one "day" in Shiki's dream,
your status is automatically saved and you have to play the same
"day" again, but with different choices. The days do not progress;
rather, every time a day is completed, what you have accomplished
in that day is saved by the computer. Eventually, you will come
across the ending for the game after accomplishing everything that
comes before it.
Ten Nights
of Dream
The first seven of these stories were written by Kinoko Nasu like the
rest of Kagetsu Tohya, while the last three are contribution works
by others, essentially fanfiction. It is unknown if any of these
stories are to be considered canon. In fact, some are obviously NOT
canon, such as Imogirisou and Ciel-Sensei. It is likely, however,
that the background information is to be considered canon. (Such as
Nanako-chan and Arihiko's pasts, along with the explanations for
certain plot holes in Ciel-sensei, such as how Chaos and Arcueid
got to Japan.)
- Good luck, Ciel-sensei
- Ciel teaches the rest of the cast in her
role as Ciel-sensei from Tsukihime. The story is mainly a comedy
story, reflecting on parts of the series in the form of questions.
It also explains plotholes as well.
- A Story for the Evening
- Akiha solves a mystery in her boarding
school. This story is a sequel to her true ending in Tsukihime. An
urban legend around school involves placing curses and an old
mailbox. Tsukasa, another student at the school, placed a curse on
Akiha but is afraid she'll find out, and attempts to kill Akiha by
knocking her off two stories from the roof. Akiha survives due to
her super-human abilities and Tsukasa comes in the night to kill
her with a knife, but Akiha yet again survives and knocks out
Tsukasa. By the end of the story, Akiha is informed that Ciel saved
Shiki Tohno from death and that he'd return by the end of the year.
Akiha dedicates herself to regrowing her black hair, which she
shortened after a portion was cut by Tsukasa's knife.
- Crimson Moon
- A look at Arcueid's history as a True Ancestor,
and her first fateful meeting with Roa. This story has Roa as the
protagonist and shows him in less of an antagonistic light.
- Red Demon God
- The story of Shiki's father Kiri Nanaya. This story reveals
much about the Nanaya family and the Demon Hunter's Association
that they are connected with. Kiri Nanaya is at the end killed by
Kishima Kouma, who is taking revenge for his parents deaths at the
hands of Kiri Nanaya.
- Nanako-chan SOS
- Nanako (the spirit of the Seventh Holy Scripture) escapes from
Ciel and hides out at Arihiko's place. This story has Arihiko as
the protagonist and reveals how he and Shiki met in the past. Ciel
ends up taking Nanako back by the end of the story.
- Imogirisou
- A parody of the horror game Otogirisou starring Shiki,
Akiha, Hisui
and Kohaku. With a cameo by The Dead.
- Flower of Thanatos
- An explicit sex scene featuring Shiki and either Hisui, Kohaku,
or both.
- Hisui-chan, Inversion Impulse!
- Hisui goes insane with hilarious results. Based on Hisui's Good
Ending.
- The Tohno Family Con Game
- Nearly the whole cast plays an elaborate game of tag for
Kohaku's sake. Even the villains, major and minor take a part in
it, with Kohaku using her assets and intelligence to win the
game.
- Dawn
- The continued story of the girl that gets devoured in the park
by Nrvnqsr Chaos in Tsukihime. She also holds Nrvnqsr's Reality
Marble, Lair of the Beast King, allowing her to use his animals.
The first part of the story misleadingly leads the reader to
believe they are Shiki Tohno, until Ciel suspects that the
protagonist isn;t Shiki. The girl ends up dying at the hands of
Shiki Tohno, unaware of anything other than her nature as a
vampire. She dies happily in her sister's arms.
Other
stories
- Summer Festivals
- Five short scenes in which Shiki takes either Arcueid, Ciel,
Akiha, Hisui or Kohaku on a date to the summer festival.
- Drinking, Dreaming Moon
- This hidden story, unlocked after all other content in the game
has been viewed, has Shiki meeting his adoptive brother SHIKI and
discussing their relationship on friendly terms.

While some of the following characters were briefly mentioned in

Tohya:

referred to as a succubus.

cat. Her only appearance in Tsukihime is to grant Shiki a dream of
a sexual encounter.

precognitive powers, and previously appeared on the Tsukihime PLUS-DISC.

strangely; conscientious, thorough and good at fixing things.
- Tsukasa Shijyou (四条 つかさ, Shijyō

Kouma
?)

possesses massive physical strength and speed, being able to crush
trees with his bare hands. His nickname is Red Lion.
