Yo Jin Bo The Bodyguards

A fabulous new interactive novel game for Windows and Macintosh, fully translated to English! Yo-jin-bo ("The Bodyguards") is set in feudal Japan where the Mochizuki clan is wracked by a war of succession, and the clan princess -- a tomboy notorious for her misbehavior -- is the first target for assassination. The central storyline of Yo-jin-bo involves the princess three eccentric bodyguards attempts to save her from the sinister machinations of her would-be assassins. In the game you play the character of Sayori, a more-or-less ordinary high school student who is spending her summer vacation helping at an archaeological excavation. One day in the ruins, you happen to notice something shining half-buried in the mud. When you look more closely, you realize it is a pendant, and you pick it up . . . And thus the story begins.
