The game takes place in May of 1945 when United States forces launched an attack on Taiwan\u2019s capital to cut off supplies to Japan during World War II. Taiwan, which was under Japanese rule at the time, was attacked by over 100 B-24 bombers bringing destruction to the city of Taihoku and its citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The protagonist of the game is Kiyoko, a girl who wakes up 3 days after the attack realizing she has lost her memories. Not only can she not remember the faces and names of her family members\u2014she doesn\u2019t even remember her own name. But bombs continue to fall and the city continues to burn. She eventually comes to guess her name is Kiyoko after speaking with who she assumes are acquaintances, and together with a dog that\u2019s for some reason attached to her, tries to survive in the crumbling city.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>At the outset of the game, Kiyoko finds herself in a town where she meets a mother with a leg injury. Kiyoko does things such as help search for the mother\u2019s daughter, receive supplies, and help others. However, Kiyoko isn\u2019t liked by the other children who throw rocks at her, and bombs continue to fall on the city. During action sections, Kiyoko advances through stages while avoiding rocks and explosions, with the game also having block pushing puzzles and action sections where players control the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kiyoko\u2019s memory comes back little by little as she pushes forward. Why is she not liked by the other kids? Why is this dog so fond of her? It all comes back to her over time. The demo for the game contains a section of the first chapter and is around 30 minutes long, so players can get a sense of the setting and the early parts of the story. Kiyoko has HP during action sections, with instant death if she takes a direct attack from a bomb. With that said, the difficulty of the puzzles and action are pretty low. It seems like a game where the drama, choices, and setting take precedence.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20220615-206868-003-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Raid on Taihoku<\/em> is being developed by Taiwanese boardgame maker Mizo Games (Mizoriot Creative Company).
