"Everyone is running away from something in this world."
Official Site

Yaaaaay. Kansei's done! And released online! Finally. D: Kansei is a murder mystery game, and the sequel to Jisei. It picks up where Jisei left off as our nameless hero finds himself solving yet another murder. This time, though, he gets the help of some new friends who have special powers like his. Interrogate suspects, explore new places, and try not to let too many people die in the process. XD

I'm doing the usual fanart/blog post discounts as well as some other stuff. Details here.

Edit: It seems about 1/10 people are having issues with the OP video encoding. I've removed the video for now until I can figure out how to make it work for everyone. I uploaded the movie here so you can still watch it if you like.

Yes, yes, yes! It's finally officially out...even though I already played it a week ago. XD

Now I just need you to spill me the way to get the true ending! DX *Extort* I mean *bribe*...or beg kindly.

There are some hints on the site, but if you haven't gotten the true end yet:
Once you get SD Card end and the end where you find the killer (and it ends poorly), follow the SD card route again. This time, make sure to go alone when you have to look for clues. Talk to Marissa and tell her you're here for work. She'll offer to share info with you. She'll actually start sharing a lot of information with you over the course of the game, and once you find the SD card with Li Mei, you'll get a different ending.

Grats on release! the intro is cool like previous game and glad to see you managed to make the blinking characters (even in the sidebar). Looks much more polished than first title, and that one was already good. I'm sure will do very well! :)

Congrats. I still have no money to spend on games, so I will imagine that I played this game and Jisei, and I will imagine that it was awesome.

Congratulations! I'm playing the demo in prep for the review discount. I'm so slow with art I have no guarantee of finishing it in time.

But I keep getting that C++ error when playing the demo. I'm totally not software savvy so is that something on my end or yours? All I know is that every time it happens it forgets which test I've seen before which means I can't skip.

It's more a problem with Windows than anything else (it even shows up in Microsoft's own software...=_=), but I'll PM you and we'll try to find a fix for it.

AHHHHH. So cute. ~D: And a huge thanks to everyone who's given this game a spin so far.

There was a little hangup with my mailing list, so if you donated to the Support Japan fund and you haven't gotten a code yet, PM or email me, please. ayu@sakevisual.com

Bleh, maybe it's just my computer, but when the opening starts to play on the demo, it freezes. D:

I mean, I plan on buying the game either way, but on the off chance it occurs in the full game, I'd know in advance a way to deal with it.

Edit: I should probably add that it's Windows.

/my 2 cents on the bug:
I think both the C++ problem and this last one is related to the video playing - maybe is enough to add a button to skip it before it plays ? (I mean skipping the video completely so even the pre-loading). A test Miyuki can do is to save the game after the video played, exit the game and then reload and see if he/she still gets the C++ bug (if is the video shouldn't appear anymore).

Looks great! I loved the first one so I definitely will be getting this. If I may ask, what is it's length compared to Jisei?
