Warnings
- This game is only playable in English with a fan translation (see Localizations for details and other supported languages).
Tsukihime [Note 1] is an adult visual novel written by Kinoko Nasu and developed by Type-Moon. It is the first title in the Tsukihime franchise.
Tsukihime was originally released independently at Winter Comiket in 2000. Fan translation group Mirror Moon released a patch in 2006 which translates the game to English and optionally can remove the H-scenes.
A remake of the game, split into two parts (Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- and Tsukihime -The other side of red garden-) was announced in 2008, with the first part released on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in Japanese in 2021, with an English release scheduled for 2024. A Windows PC port was quietly mentioned in Type-Moon Ace Volume 15 in July 2023, with no release date provided.
