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. Ordering the Gamecity Set adds an apron dedicated to the original drama CD with an instruction manual for assembling it and a towel with deformed versions of the cast to the purchase. Purchasing any edition of the game from Gamecity Shopping adds two clear files.
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 one month after the first game. The protagonist serves as Nobunaga's kunoichi and continues to protect Azuchi Castle from enemy spies as the "Shield of Azuchi".
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". The redder the eyes of the icon, the harder the sequence will be to complete.
Transformation Battles are memory matching games: the player has to locate pairs within their set of face-down cards. Harder battles increases the number of cards. Finding the correct pair damages the adversary; a single mistake damages the protagonist. Each opponent has a weak point assigned to them that is indicated at the far left upper hand corner in each battle. Consecutively matching pairs correctly can form combos, which may be a necessity in order to beat stronger foes. Like the earlier Haruka titles, extra flowers or incense can be earned by correctly flipping their pair of cards before the battle ends.
Ninjutsu can be used during these sequences. The spell's effectiveness is determined by their level, and experience is earned only if the protagonist uses them (
to use and L to select). One spell can be used once per battle. Spells can be leveled up by training, which has been altered to be makeshift Transformation Battles, to reach the optimum level (level 10). The three spells are:
- Clairvoyance (千里眼) - momentarily reveals the identity of face-down cards.
- Kunai (くない) - deals no damage but increases the number of hits within the player's combo.
- Provisions (兵糧丸) - heals the protagonist's health.
Successfully completing the aforementioned battle rewards the protagonist flowers and words of gratification from one member of the main cast the following morning. Completing the battle with at least a five chain combo additionally rewards incense. Incense can be used during a nightly visit with a male character to greatly boost their affinity rating and alter their conversation options. Failing to defeat the intruder within the day increases the Doubt stat. If it reaches maximum level, the game will end prematurely. It can be lowered by clearing a Transformation Battle.
The entire story is told in a total of six chapters, and there are eleven different endings available. At least one cleared save is needed to unlock Momoji, Nobuyuki and Kanbei's romance routes.
Other changes different from the original game include the following:
- It is possible to check progress for main story objectives within the menu. The player can know if they have succeeded either by reading the courtesy message or by visually checking for orange/golden text.
- The Doubt stat is shared amongst the main cast as opposed to assigned to individual characters. Transformation Battles are the only means of altering it.
- Battle difficulty can be altered between easy, normal or hard.
- Button Actions are now randomized.
- Pressing Start during training, Button Actions or Transformation Battles allows an instant do-over with no repercussions. Before Yumeakari presented this option, the player would have to reload from a previous save slot or press the retry button after failing.
- Specific flowers can be obtained during designated times of day: morning = spotted bellflower (ホタルブクロ); noon = Japanese bellflower (キキョウ); night = cape jasmine (クチナシ). They can earned by successfully completing a training session or a Transformation Battle. A flawless finish rewards the player with an extra flower.
- Incense and flowers can be accumulated and used after a cleared game to unlock new images within an individual character's gallery in the Extras menu.
- New music tracks are in the game.
- Momoji now has a character icon on the map to indicate his personal events.
- Different character portraits are present for all characters.
- The dialogue framing is decorated by a character's symbolic item during their personal events.

She is shown being more social with the other maids. During one such conversation, Oito confesses her crush on a youth named Shichisuke to them. She is content to leave her feelings unrequited since she enjoys being faithful to the Akechi siblings.
- Yoshirou
