You play as a girl who, disguised as a boy, travels to the city of kyoto in search of her father during the end of the Edo-period. There she gets involved with a group of dangerous samurai (who you later get to kiss if you're lucky)
You already know but Hakuoki (薄桜鬼) is one of my fave English visual novels. Though it's technically a dating sim it is a lot more plot-focused than Western fans expect of dating sims and I'd say "historical fantasy with dating sim elements" describes it pretty accurately!
