Summary of Kurayukaba
Our story unfolds beneath the surface of the great metropolis, below the district of Ogi-Town, in a realm of dreams that hovers in a haze of purple brown coal smoke. A network of streets runs underground and hides bandits on every corner. An armored train snakes its way through the looming darkness: the steel-clad Sokore 463 train is equipped with a 75 mm mountain cannon that can blow a target to pieces. The mysterious girl, Fir, is in charge. What can you and your companions expect? From the winding streets of Akegata (at dawn) to the deep underground world of Kuragari (at dusk), a daring adventure unfolds.
