INTRODUCTION
Read the scrolling intro, then choose your appearance.
After the four guardians present themselves, click on the
map. The Heiankyo tab will bring you into the game.
THE STREET
Get mirror
Retrieve Tsuna's amulet from Tsukumogami (I think it's him)
Get clothing from corpse, I think taking the money affects
your karma - Go left & there is a patch of grass here that
shakes when you click on it, but nothing comes out
If you click on the door before talking with Tsuna, a demon-
ic voice says, 'Go back'
Encounter with Wantanabe no Tsuna, trade amulet for sword
Either go thru door OR follow cat thru crack in wall
Receive info about Jizo statue
Get money from corpse, may affect your karma
The house on the right has an 'eerie music theme' when you
pass in front of it, but nothing else happens, & you can't
go in. I think something does happen later on, though
LATER ON - I came back here after using the cart & still
nothing happened. Go figure
Meet ghosts of P'ohai ambassadorial entourage
Two long-winded old farts - don't bother
Dog eating corpse - you may come here more than once
Click on the dog the & another dog will come & kill him &
start eating him
Group of beggars; if you give money, the bearded one will

Tadayuki
View the three demons nearby crafting a person from a corpse,
they will confront you
Tadayuki shows up and the demons will run off, he will give
a speech about the recent events
To the best of my knowledge, at this point you have complet-
ed all the encounters for this stage of the game. In order
to continue, go to the market.
THE MARKET
Weapons (Bow only)
Madame Moneylender
Medicine
Sandals
Sushi & dried fish
Seafood (carp, sardines, clams)
Rice cakes, potatoes & vegetables
Fruits
Rice & salt
'horned basin'?
The Five Beggars (for some reason, you can't give them any
money, I don't know if this affects your karma)
There is a frequent event of a guy coming out & puking up
his guts. If he wasn't drinking, makes you wonder if you
can trust the food there, huh?
There's also someone seen ducking into an alley, but I
couldn't follow him. (Later, on closer inspection, it
looks like a demon)
Kuya, sage of the marketplace, preaching to the choir
The Cockfighting ring
The turning point in this area is the Kawaranoin event.
Help the captive girl (use the sword, not the money) &
follow thru to where she is killed.
THE PATH TO THE PALACE
If you go back in thru the Kawaranoin gate, you'll meet the
ghost of the house who will give you info about the mansion
& the grounds (if you answer Yes to his question). If you
answer No, he'll kick you out. You can't enter the house
again on your own.
Avoid talking to thieves, there's a good chance they'll kill
you. They appear in groups of one to three.
One of the thieves actually ran from me (is he really a
thief?)
There are a few houses in this stage with guards, if you
approach they'll tell you to get lost, because you appear
to be a commoner
Misc. crowd, with carts behind them, no info available
The Yugao encounter
Meet Yugao at Kawaranoin as she requests & a ghost will kill
her
Funeral procession: follow & you'll witness the following
events
a murder of crows pecking on a body (approach & they'll
fly away)
a corpse decomposing before your eyes
the well of Chinkoji, which will give you a glimpse into
Hell
One of the events here involves a snake. Not very remarkable
by itself, but click on the rock at the left side of the
screen, and a woman jumps out. She says she collects snake
meat & sells it as fish meat. Go Figure...
The flying kimono: if you have a bow, shoot an arrow at it
& it will kill you; if not, the guys will say, 'Too bad',
& continue watching the kimono
Ghost of the Demon Hall: this is an event with continual
rain, thunder & lightning. Some players may become frustrat-
ed & reset. There is a point where an exit cursor comes up,
but I don't know how to activate it. Just click around &
it'll come up - once I right clicked & got it. But I think
it appears randomly, though
Dr. Yasutane's defense of a horse
The Gion Festival
The Zennyo sighting
The Devil challenges the player to a backgammon match: If
you lose, he kills you. I've never been able to win (I'm
not very good at backgammon anyway), so I don't know what
the alternate scene is
The Pandemonium event: If you only have the sword, prepare
to die. I hope you got the sutra from Nichizo - it's a
better outcome.
The Kettle Fairy
The Water Fairy - look for the broken gate
Demon of the Suzaku Villa - you'll see a man lying asleep
at one of the houses. You can take his bow & bag (may
affect your karma). He'll wake up screaming that a demon
stole the items.
Nue the Chimera - appears like the Zennyo, in a cloud pass-
ing overhead
Another version of the Pandemonium event, with different demons
Ghost of the Glowing House
Encounter with Genshin
The Demon Plank - on the 2nd encounter, he ran from me.
But the third time I wasn't quick enough with my sword,
& it killed me.
2nd encounter with Wantanabe no Tsuna
Tsuchigumo - the spider demon with the skeletons of 1990
victims inside him
The Demonic Oil Jug
Higashino Toin Oji - ghostly figures run across the street
Sometimes you may encounter a single demon - show him the
sutra & he'll flee, of course
The Buried Curse
Abe no Seimei and the Puppet Demons
The Ghost-in-Life from Omi
God of Epidemics - a ghost which identifies himself as High
Counselor Tomo no Yoshio, says you'll meet him later
Encounter with Miyoshi no Kiyotsura
The Shinsen'en Garden - after this event, you find yourself
outside the gate. You once again meet the elderly Jizo
worshipper who gives you her insight on the temple.
I think that's it for this section.
TSUCHIMIKADO - at the palace gates
Somewhere in here you'll see a carriage with no driver.
Get in & you'll be dropped off near the point where the
Gitcho incident occured. Get back in & you'll return to
where you started from. (Once the carriage is underway,
click right when the arrow shows up & you can open the
view panel. You can watch the scenery, but there's not
much to see, & the trip will not end until you close the
panel & face front).
To reach the Utage Pine Forest, return to the point where
you are facing north just inside the gate. Go North 6x,
West 2x, North 2x.
A Woman eaten near the palace
Fox of Utage
The Blue Light at Oten Gate
Oten Gate Conspiracy - High Counselor Tomo no Yoshio: Hmmm,
we meet again
A Palace Official Eaten - when the demon confronts you,
flash the sutra, then take his victim's clothes.
Go to the Kenrei Gate & thru the Shomei Gate
This is why you need to change clothes. Approach the gate
beforehand, it will be blocked by guards
WARNING: Once you go thru the Kenrei Gate, you cannot
return!
ENDGAME

Answer 'Yes' to both his questions
Keep scrolling left or right until you see the light he
mentions
Enter & go left or right until you see Kuya performing a
funeral ritual over a body
Listen to his speech & repeat his mantra
Credits roll THE END
Notes:
It is possible to complete the game without the sword &
money, but there is one point when possession of the sutra
is essential. At the 'A Palace Official Eaten' event, you
need to change clothes. It is possible to avoid the demon
in the event 'Woman eaten near the palace', just don't go
to that screen. If you get killed by either of these two
demons, you wind up back at the palace gates. But since
you need the clothes, you need to get rid of the demon.
If you haven't gotten the sutra by this point, you can
still go back & get it from Nichizo. I used the cart,
jumped out, moved up a couple of screens, & there he was
(I don't know if it'll work if you met him before & re-
fused his offer). In my opinion this is the only point
in the game where the sutra is needed - that is, if you
don't mind dying & being reincarnated when you encounter
the other demons. I also think it's possible to make it
to the endgame section without dying (you need to die &
be reincarnated here in order to advance), but you defin-
itely need the sutra (I haven't tested this theory tho).
Avoiding the thieves will also increase your chances.
Another interesting scene occurs near the end of the
game. Simply answer 'No' to either of Nichizo's questions
when you meet him in Hell. He will make a statement about
leaving you to suffer the tortures. This is your opportu-
nity to view most, if not all, of the tortures in the game.
When you have seen them all, the hotspots will show up blank
when you click on them, just the same way it happens if &
when you've been here before. Now keep clicking right or
left, & the blue light that is your exit will appear. Go
thru & chat with Kuya as usual - despite your choice, he
doesn't act any different (if he knew of it).
