Birushana: How To Gain Strength, Knowledge, And Kindness
Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei tracks the decisions players make with the sort of flowchart one would expect to find in many other visual novels. The flowchart doesn't reveal its hand, informing you of how every choice affected the outcome of your file, until after you have completed a given route at least once. Fair enough.
