A tale of small miracles in a snow-covered town— Kanon, the very first game from visual novel studio Key, is now available on Steam! Now featuring HD visuals and full voice support! (The protagonist is only voiced in certain scenes.)
Players progress through the story by making choices that branch the narrative into multiple paths, leading to diverse outcomes and character interactions. The game encourages replayability, as players can revisit previous save points to explore alternative choices and uncover the nuances of the story.
The robust save/load system allows players to quickly jump back to earlier dialogue, making it easy to experiment with different choices. This feature is particularly useful given the branching narrative, enabling players to efficiently navigate the story and see how their decisions affect the outcome.
While the supporting cast is fully voiced, the protagonist, Yuichi Aizawa, is only voiced during certain scenes. This design choice enables players to better project themselves onto the main character during the unvoiced portions, allowing for a more personalized experience.
Players using touch-enabled devices, such as tablet PCs or the Steam Deck, can take advantage of the game's support for touch screen gestures. This added control option provides a more tactile and intuitive way to navigate the visual novel, complementing the traditional keyboard and mouse inputs.
The game offers language options, including Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese, catering to players from diverse regions. Additionally, the ability to adjust various settings, such as font and voice volume, contributes to a more customizable and accessible experience.
