Prologue

GACHIJO, a Legendary Castle with Hidden Treasures

It was the Sengoku Period in the Middle Ages of Japan. GACHIJO, a castle that had been rumored since ancient times but whose location had remained a mystery, was finally discovered deep in the mountains.

According to legend, the castle, which lost its master after an era of prosperity several hundred years ago, still contains hidden treasures with mysterious powers, and whoever possesses them will surely become the ruler of the country. Word spread quickly among the Tokugawa, Toyotomi, Oda, and Takeda feudal lords, who were eagerly awaiting their chance to reign. They immediately sent their own ninja to the castle, vying to be the first to collect the treasures.

However, the entire castle was a moving maze of ever-changing positions, and the Guardians of the Treasures, in the form of specters, lurked within. In essence, a castle full of traps.
