"Harukanaru Toki no Naka de (loosely \"Within the Expanse of a Distant Time\") is a series of otome games developed by Ruby Party and published by Koei. It is a part of the NeoRomance label, which also includes Angelique and La Corda d'Oro. The basic premise involves a female Ordinary High School Student -- often accompanied by a couple of friends -- drawn into a parallel world that bears a strong resemblance to historical Japan during the Heian (and later - Bakumatsu) Period, where a lot of traditional Japanese/Eastern myths and beliefs have a material form, coexisting peacefully with some of the more generic element-based spells. (It was hardly, if at all, identified as Japan until later games: most characters tend to only refer to the setting as \"another world\".) There, the girl assumes the position of the Miko, or priestess, of the Dragon-God, a deity believed to be capable of saving people from current disasters. On her quest to complete the mission, she is accompanied by eight attractive young men called the Hachiyou (lit. \"Eight Leaves\"), who gain their powers from The Four Gods. While the plot of the original game (and to a greater extent its manga/anime adaptations) has been accused of plagiarizing noted as having a lot of similarities to Fushigi Yuugi (or, sometimes, Inuyasha), the franchise definitely stands on its own, and the later entries actually managed to improve the premise enough that it no longer feels \"borrowed\". Each of the five main games features a new set of characters and a new conflict, so the series doesn't get too repetitive while still keeping (loosely) the same general theme."@en . . . .

At the time of the game's conception Heian period based stories were receiving an explosion of popularity in the Japanese entertainment industry. Ruby Party used the trends to their advantage to create their first Japanese history based IP. Members wished for the game to keep the same simulation elements as its predecessor yet thought it better to include role-playing game elements which were still in high demand with the female fanbase. To further distinguish it from their first work, members sought to highlight the seasonal beauty of spring and summer through the lens of Heian aesthetics.
