Kanon soon in English for the PC and Switch!

Originally releasing as Key‘s debut title in 1999, Kanon needs no introduction. Besides being Key’s first title, it has gone on to receive not one, but two anime adaptations.

Earlier this month, publisher PROTOTYPE has announced an English and Chinese patch for its Switch port, as well as a Steam release in said languages.

The release date is still TBA as of writing, but the VN is public on Steam and ready to be added to wishlists!

Last year, it was re-released for the Switch in HD (in Japanese), which you can read about here.

Features

  • Featuring retouched HD visuals and CG coloring;
  • Full voice-acting (the protagonist is only voiced during certain parts of the game);
  • Multiple language support;
  • Touch gestures can also be used if you’re playing on a tablet PC or a Steam Deck.

The Story

It's a winter's day, and snow is fluttering down…
On a bench in front of the train station, I reunite with my cousin, Nayuki Minase, for the first time in seven years.

Nayuki and my aunt welcomed me back to this town after I suddenly had to move.
It's also home to some hazy childhood memories of mine.
In this town, covered in deep snow, five girls and I will come to experience small miracles…

Meet the Heroines

Yuichi Aizawa
With his parents having moved overseas for work, he finds himself staying with his aunt who he often visited as a child. For some reason, he doesn't quite remember the details of what happened in this town. Having transfered schools as well, he ends up in the same class as Nayuki.
Ayu Tsukimiya
A girl that Yuichi encounters while shopping on the first day he moves to town.
Ayu and Yuichi come to know each other after she bumps into him, literally, during an attempt to eat and run.
Nayuki Minase
The eldest daughter of the Minase family that Yuichi moved in with, ahd and Yuichi are the same age.
Although she hasn't seen Yuichi in 7 years, she's perfectly fine with him living in the same house.
Makoto Sawatari
A girl who has lost her memory.
Going off the only thing she remembers—a disdain for Yuichi—she invites herself into the Minase house and follows him around.
Shiori Misaka
A first-year student at the school Yuichi transfers to.
Her illness kept her out of school for a long time, but after meeting Yuichi, she returns to class.
Mai Kawasumi
A third-year student who has forgotten how to smile.
She fights against "something" that cannot be seen in the school building at night.
