Good to know
There is no continuity to solve, as no character returns across the five. Release order shows the theme shift from kappa fable to teen room escape best. Miss Hokusai and Lonely Castle pair as Edo versus modern girl mirrors. Treat Lonely Castle as latest released, with Hara active and no next title dated.
