Long ago there were three kingdoms: the Red Kingdom, the Blue Kingdom, and the White Kingdom. These three kingdoms were bound by their involvement in the creation of highly advanced dolls, some of which seem to be near identical to humans. A great tragedy befell the White Kingdom when Princess Christina Dorn was betrayed and murdered by a man named Ein Ronberg, a name that would become one of the most hated in the land for many years to come.
However, an aspiring screenwriter by the name of Wakaba is convinced that Ein did not truly betray the princess, a view that she wishes to incorporate into a play. Her chance to realize her dream comes when her childhood friend Cero needs to take Coco, a Doll that lives with him, for maintenance; she and her younger brother Light travel with him in hopes of finding people to star in her play. Along the way, the three run into an aspiring actress named Angelina, a very human-like Doll with one wing named Belle, and a pair of travelers by the names of Tonino and Silvia.
'''''Katahane''''' is an [[Eroge]] made by Tarte and split into two sections: the Shirohane (White Wing) Chapter deals with Wakaba and her friends forming their play while the Kurohane (Black Wing) Chapter deals with the events leading up to Ein's betrayal.
The game has been fully translated into English; the patch can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20170910173153/https://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=Katahane here].
