Geten no Hana Yumeakari

Geten no Hana Yumeakari (下天の華 夢灯り, roughly translated as "Flower of the Human World Dream Light") is the direct sequel to Geten no Hana. It was first revealed to the public during the live stage event, Geten no Hana Hotarumi no Utage. Various interviews and commentary were gradually revealed within the Otome game magazine, B's Log.

The Treasure Box edition includes a book containing Hayate Kuku's original artwork and concepts, a copy of the drama script at Hotarumi no Utage, a drama CD featuring the characters in a contemporary school setting previously seen at the Animate event, a character image song and original soundtrack CD, illustrated boards dedicated to the school drama and the romance stills found in the game itself, and trinkets featuring the deformed versions of the cast with animal ears. The Twin Pack edition has the original game and the art cards previously featured as Geten no Hana's reservation bonus and Premium Box addition. Different reservation bonuses are being offered at various Japanese stores.

Plot
Nobunaga survives Honnōji and resumes his conquests abroad. Hideyoshi completes his mission to pacify the Chugoku region and returns to Azuchi Castle for a break. The story continues from the "Shield of Azuchi" ending, in which the protagonist serves as the Oda's kunoichi and continues to protect Azuchi Castle from enemy spies.

Changes
Like other Neoromance fan disc games, the general gameplay remains the same with the following changes.


 * Players are given the additional task of protecting the castle grounds from spies during their daily schedule, or the protagonist's job as the "Shield of Azuchi". These icons are the pair of ominous eyes players see scattered across the map; if they are ignored for too long, the eyes will turn red. When these icons are activated the player engages in a "Transformation Battle", or a mini-game sequence. The redder the eyes of the icon, the harder the sequence will be to complete.
 * Successfully completing the aforementioned battle rewards the protagonist with incense. If the correct incense is used during a nightly visit with a male character, their affinity with the protagonist increases greatly.
 * Failing to defeat the intruder within the day increases the Distrust stat, or suspicions towards the protagonist. If it reaches maximum level, the game will end prematurely. It can be lowered by clearing a Transformation Battle.
 * New music tracks are in the game.
 * Data transfer bonuses have been implied but not revealed yet.

Characters
The main cast from the original game return with the following additions:


 * Kanbei Kuroda
 * Hanbei Takenaka
