Rediscovering Kanon: Dive into the Heartbreaking and Hopeful Visual Novel Classic Remastered on Steam

If you love visual novels as much as I do, you probably already know how deeply moving and beautifully crafted the original “Kanon” is. I played the original release with an English translation patch because, back then, it was never officially published in North America. Fast forward to now, and I couldn’t be more thrilled that a remastered version has just been released on Steam for PC gamers! You can check it out here.

Kanon Overview

What is Kanon?

“Kanon” is a visual novel developed by Key, a renowned studio known for creating emotionally impactful and beautifully written games. First released in 1999, “Kanon” was Key’s debut visual novel, paving the way for other beloved titles like “Clannad” and “Little Busters.” “Kanon” combines elements of drama, romance, and supernatural themes, set against a backdrop of a snow-covered town that adds to its melancholic and hopeful atmosphere. read more

Aksys Games Has Been Very Busy Announcing New English Otome Games

I love Aksys Games, probably my favorite Otome Game localization company. In just the past few weeks Aksys has announced the following upcoming releases. Check Out their videos below. Which games are you most looking forward to?

I think for myself, I’m most excited about playing the next chapters of Amnesia. I played the original one years ago, and always wondered why we never got the rest of the games in the Amnesia series localized into English. I’m actually not sure if Aksys is involved in this translation project or not. If they are they aren’t doing much to promote it. I saw the trailer as an ad, and sniffed it out. Perhaps Idea Factory is going to take a stab at directly releasing games in English. read more
