Kansei

Kansei is the second installment in the Jisei series, and you can tell that they improved on almost every aspect of the first game. Kansei is much longer than Jisei, we learn more about our group of gifted teenagers, and we get an idea of the overarching storyline. Of course, you also get to guess who’s the killer this time, and there are multiple endings to discover. Kansei features a bigger cast of great English voice actors, and one cannot help but fall in love with these characters – especially with Li Mei!

Kansei is the second installment in a great murder mystery Visual Novel. Once again we get into shoes of Kangai, who now has a lovely bunch of friends with mysterious powers. Powers that are very helpful with solving the mysteries, but come with a price. Given the game is a mystery novel, you get to solve a mystery. And you do that by searching various rooms and speak with people at the scene. All the backgrounds and characters designs once again are done very well. And characters are voice overed, which is a nice thing to have. Just like the first game, this one is absolutely worth getting if you’re a fan of murder mysteries or just want to get into the topic. Also played the game before it was put on Steam. You can find that on my YouTube channel on [url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF6bMpb7g7_TuIRG-UArAIi00142LDp8r]Kansei playlist[/url].

This is the second game in the series, picking up immediately where Jisei ended, and although it isn’t entirely necessary to play it I highly recommend it. The quality is still there and there are three fully-fledged “endings” this time, although one of them is doesn’t makes any sense but maybe it will in the next game. The one thing is that the sound mixing is a little weird and some voices can be louder than others but it is a very minor complaint. It is a good experience and meant to be played with the other titles. PS: The one thing that you should notice is that one of the endings, “Imprusted?” won’t give the achievement and someone in the guide also seems to have dealt with the same problem. It happened in the first game too but I loaded the save and did it and it worked fine, but in this one I redid this ending two more time and still didn’t got the achievement.

My mind not changed much since playing the first part and I still recommend it. This novel looks more like a part of a story (chapter in a book, if you wish) and not an independent game. In this game, taking place the next day after the first solved case, we have another dead body. Not we have more details about the main character and a bit of understanding how we got to this point, but there are still dark holes. We also get to know more about twins and so-called "agency" and detective from the first part. Something tells me we will se much more info about them and the main character in the next part. At least, I hope so. - Game play is a bit better, but not much of change. - Character are voiced, it fills good. - Game is a big longer. Especially if you want to play all the content available. There is 2 ending + 1 secret ending. - I like the characters, even through they are not very detailed. They still are quite lovable. Li Mei is a favourite. ^^ So, with this all to say, I recommend you to try it. Especially, if you also played the first part, this one will be a nice addition. See you in the 3rd part ;)

I played this game again after having done so over 10 years ago, and similar to Jisei, it holds up well after all this time. It's been so long since I played it last that I forgot who the murderer was, so it was fun figuring it out. I would still recommend it to those who enjoyed Jisei.

An improvement on the first game. It's longer, for one. The mystery is better developed that that of the first instalment, but still a bit predictable with a couple frustrating red herrings that don't get an explanation (that I found). Also as in the first, the murder mystery isn't really the main mystery in the story. The "metamystery" about the core cast's overlapping murky pasts continues, and it remains compelling enough to make me eager to get some answers in the third game.
