Sakura Spirit is a 2014 visual novel video game for personal computers developed by American indie studio Winged Cloud and published by Sekai Project.
After he begins to pray for good luck in his upcoming match, he meets a spirit telling him that he is to play a vital part to the road ahead to improving himself as a warrior, and is transported to a different world, where he runs into several different fox girls.
The game's plot focuses on Takahiro helping to bridge the divide between the humans and the spirits, while spending some personal time with the girls and trying to find his way back home.
Bradly Storm of Hardcore Gamer gave Sakura Spirit a mixed review, stating "The problem with Sakura Spirit is not necessarily that it's a niche of a niche [...] It lacks narrative depth and compelling characters, and while its humor will be good for a few laughs, comedy without any type of golden thread to tie it altogether ultimately comes off as a disjointed project that plays more like a series of jokes than a coherent piece of storytelling.
[2] Brittany Vincent of Destructoid criticised the game's perceived juvenile plot and lack of central direction, finding it to be "pretty to look at, but utterly devoid of any redeeming value", awarding it a low score of 3/10.
Pitched as an "angelic love comedy", the game's plot has two girls, blessed with magical powers, tasked with saving the protagonist from the clutches of a mysterious witch and ancient evil.
