Trap Shrine is largely a combination of Slice of Life and Comedy as our cast of characters live carefree days until a small conflict brews up towards the end. While it does grab your attention immediately, it did feel narratively unnecessary and with no real payoff to its inclusion at the start, since your two love interests are at each other’s throat from the second they glance at each other. That opening scene occurs pretty late into the game. After some moments of this entertaining chaos, Trap Shrine slams the breaks and rewinds time to show us how things got like this, as well as to properly introduce the characters. The game starts us off right in the thick of it as Mishiro is trying to suplex a fox deity known as Yui, which is in fact the very same god they are supposed to be worshipping. Said priest goes by the name of Masato and is joined by a childhood friend/shrine maiden called Mishiro. Trap Shrine is a kinetic Visual Novel centered around a newly indited chief priest tasked with overseeing a small temple.
