What’d you think?: This was some sort of strategy game, I think maybe city/empire-building set in the Meiji Restoration period of Japanese history. I never understood what I was doing amongst all the kanji-laden menus. I walked across Japan, visiting tea shops and onsen, while apparently war broke out around me. I paid it no mind and retired from the game serene and untroubled.
