[PC] Kana Little Sister.

Hi, I don't post here very often or make many threads, at all. But I just wanted to spread the word about this very inspiring game I recently played. The Quiet Place seemed like the best spot to post it, since most people here are going through some rough times in some way or another. It's called Kana Little Sister, and its a bishoujo game about Life, Love and Death. Yes it involves some explicit sex scenes like most games of its type, and not recommended for anyone under 18. But in all honesty, this is much more than just your typical hentai text based RPG, in fact the sex scenes only take up about 10% of the game. So why recommend it you may ask? Well, in my opinion it has one of the best stories I've read in any game, period. Because it's an adult game it doesn't moderate itself like some type of fairytale, you'd think someone wrote it based off of real life experiences. But to get to the point on whats the basis behind the game, here are a few details, links with more information and a direct download to the game.

You play as a Taka Todo, a young man with a sister [Kana] suffering from a terminal illness [for anyone against incest, she's adopted]. The game starts out with you visiting her in the hospital which she basically lives at, and flashes back to your early childhood when your relationship started. At first, Taka hated Kana for stealing attention from his parents, but after a certain experiance, Taka realizes she's his only sister he'll ever have and must protect her. The game progresses from early childhood, early teens, on to adult hood. As she gets older, Kana's condition gets worse and you're her only one true friend in the world, so she develops very deep feelings for you. Your parents treat her like a burden and barely visit her, they're workaholics. The two of you grow extremely close but later on in the game you find out some very shocking news. I'm not going to spoil it for you but your sister will need your help now more than anything.

I hope my description was intriguing enough, if not you don't have to take my word for it. Some of you probably already know about this game anyway.

I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

How ya doing, buddy?

I know it seems like it COULD go in TQP, but gaming threads should be kept in the gaming forums.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

She's actually your long-list little brother, isn't she?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wait, you're recommending people in The Quiet Place play a japanese PC dating simulator?

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh, her? Yeah, I know her. It's going to take a while. It happened years ago

Did you know there are three kinds of little sisters? Those that seek love, those that live for pride, and those that can read emotion.

Those are the three.

And her?

She was a girl they called "Kana: Little Sister."

This man was her brother.

He is the man I seek.

It was a cold and snowy day.

The Incestuous Relationship is shrouded in mystery. Everyone is a rapist, and a loli. And no one knows who is a victim, and who is the aggressor.

And what is love?

I was speaking idiomatically.

No lol. I was recommending it to people in TQP because of the themes in the game, Life, Love and Death. KLS is very dramatic, nothing close to a happy-go-lucky storyline. It's not really a dating sim, more of a visual novel. But it has six different endings, depending on the choices you make throughout the game. Anyone looking for a simple hentai dating sim with hardcore sex scenes might be disappointed. Personally I loved it, and just wanted to let other people know about it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There are literally thousands of visual novels in japan, from PC to PS2, from Tokimeki Memorial to True Love Story 3, the only difference about this one is that it's translated. I'm sure there's other "visual novels" in japan that are interesting too, just not translated into english.

Unless wiki is wrong, it's a japanese dating simulator.

FELIPE NO

Personally I loved Kana as well, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to people who crowd TQP.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Good stuff. Unfortunately, I doubt many will notice what you did there. =/

I sure don't, care to elaborate?

Oh, it's just some Ace Kana Zero: The Little Sister War.

seconded - !

The first time I played Kana... I reached one of the 'Intellectual Endings'
( Ending 4, 'Snow' )

The game itself was quite 'entertaining' and I liked that ending
It made me think "ha.. I guess, I did everything right!"

Well...
Some people said, Kana would be sad...or...something like that..
In my case.. Kana kept me cool..more like cold inside... too bad, eh?

Planetarian.. on the other hand... was so... so sad..
I cried throughout the whole game.. except for the so-called 'sad-ending'...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Like Lix said, is there anything that sets this apart from the other hundreds of dating sims out there? It all sounds fairly generic to me.

Greatest disclaimer ever.

For one thing it's not a dating sim. But then what you're asking is the same as "is there anything that sets this RPG apart from the hundred other RPGs out there" and pretty much there never is.

It was a touching story with an unusual atmosphere and very different focus from most h-games. But if you're saying you've played so many of them you know them inside out, there probably isn't anything new about it.

1) Consensual sex (with a minor that's "adopted" aka statutory rape).
2) Gay rape (turns out IT'S A TRAP).
3) Anal rape.
4) Group rape.
5) Scat rape
6) She bites your dick off and kills you (guro).

FELIPE NO

Too bad you wont find any of that in this game, except #1 if you want to put it that way.

Ah, I liked this one. The premise is very cliché but the characters are likable. There was an Xbox port in development with a new character design for Kana, but it was predictably cancelled. Too bad, because the story is more enjoyable without the sex scenes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

- have some sex
- save her life
- have some sex
- have some sex
- work on appearance
- have some sex
- go home only to run into one of the other girls and have some sex

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Obviously Hakeem must work on his appearance!

Nope, it's a series for the PS and PS2. I played through part of True Love Story 3 even though I couldn't understand anything, before giving up. Really beautiful animation in this game. I wish they'd translate PS2 games like these but.. it just doesn't happen.

I myself felt the sex scenes fit well. They were tastefully made and there was only like two of them, so it wasn't quite like most h-games "removing their sex scenes".

As for the Xbox version, as you said, it was cancelled, but they did release a remake for the PC called "Kana.. Okaeri!" with new graphics and voice acting.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Having sex scenes at all seems counter-productive to what they're trying to do with the game, though. They'd be able to reach a much wider audience if they didn't insist on anything explicit, and indeed the sex scenes almost sound gratuitous if that's not the focus of the story. So why bother at all? It just winds up relegating the thing to the same unsavory bin as any other hentai game.

Since this thread is based on a translated japanese dating sim, I guess this is the best place to ask:

Does anyone (not here, but ANYWHERE) translate japanese visual novels or dating simulators? The ones by Kid look interesting, and there's a fair few which get quite a high score ranking on this famitsu-like website which reviews them critically, so I was just wondering.

It'd be great if there were some patches for PS2 games like this, or PC ones. I know there's a few PC ones but some of the PS2 games just won't see it into PCs.

Well the characters fall in love and have sex (or make love, whichever way you want to put it). It's not a story meant for kids, and not just because it has sex scenes. By your logic, all movies should aim for the PG-13 rating or lower because someone dying, swearing or bleeding is gratuitous.

They did insist on explicit (if you really need to put it that way), it's an adult story probably because of those sex scenes, but then that's what differentiates it.

You have a lot of people saying the really good h-games have such good stories the sex scenes can be removed from the console versions as they are so out of place. I'm just saying the sex scene(s) weren't out of place or tacked on at all here, it was where the characters' relationships came to a point. It sounds to me like Soldier's reasoning for editing out the sex scenes from the Evangelion doujin for RE-Take (though he did do it for his little sister), while I felt they were a bigger part of the whole (and the strange atmosphere).

I doubt they're mass-translating them in the way you're hoping, but they've done a few. Mirror Moon translated Tsukihime and Melty Blood, and is currently working on Kagetsu Tohya if I understood correctly. From other Type-Moon works, they recently finished translating Fate/Stay Night (or at least some of the arcs).

NNL translated Wind -a breath of heart- (which was pretty generic) and I recall a few groups working on a number of titles, so there are translators for them, but they're usually stuck in forever WIP or forgotten.

There's also Hirameki, a company that translates visual noves and struggles to sell them. They brought KiD's Ever 17 over here. Visual News has a bunch demos and doujin visual novels translated by their community, if you didn't already know.

How ya doing, buddy?
