| Subject: Great Game ^_^ Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:59 pm | |
| Once I saw the new game was up I downloaded it immediately and played thru it half the night ^_^. Got the first two endings...still trying for the "true ending". I love the new art. And the moving backgrounds were a nice touch. I was like "Hey! it's Seattle! XD" I thought that was cool cause I'm from around there. Wow! The story is getting really intense. It's such a great story, so full of suspense and plot twists. I can't wait for the next part so I can learn more about all the characters and their mysterious pasts. >w<
And I can't wait for more of the other games. I love Visual Novel games. They have so many in Japan, and they have lots of different types, I'm sad they haven't caught on more here. So When I found out about this site I was so happy ^_^ Keep up the good work.

| Man, the Best Ending is tricky to get, I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right, probably in the wrong order. I just hope it isn't "The Syndrome of Hidden Pixel That You Have to Click in Order to Beat the Game". When i first got to the end i was afraid it's going to be even shorter than Jisei, but the branching actually gives ton of possibilities, and that's great (even if i'm currently a little stuck).
The graphics and voice quality is even better than in Jisei, and the few nitpicks i might have are a results of my personal preferences, and by no means Your fault, so I shall keep them for myself.
Overall, it seems that sequel to something great turned out to be even better, and that's something hardt to pull off. Good job! | |

| Thank you so much. I'm glad you both are enjoying it so far. The true end is pretty tricky, since there's one flag you have to activate to get it. - Spoiler:
When you first explore, go alone and talk with Marissa. Tell her you're here for work, and she'll offer to share information with you. The extra information you get is what you need to get the true end. Follow the path to find the SD card with Li Mei and you'll get a different ending.

| So in the hints for the SD end it says to get the 'Locked in the basement' end you have to be on bad terms with Marissa... I haven't figured out how to get that -_- | |

| Yeah, that was totally my fault. I was writing the two different paths, and I got them mixed up when I wrote the walkthrough. It's sad that I have this huge tree of plot written down for the game, but writing the walkthrough gives me this much trouble. D:
The Locked in the Basement end actually comes when you follow the Find the Killer Path. If you lower Sophia's trust, then tell her the cognac might be poisoned, she'll figure out the killer without you and you'll get a bad end. | |

| Subject: Review! Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:31 pm | |
| I thought you might appreciate another review. I just beat Kansei so the game is fresh in my mind and all that. First, things I thought could have been fixed or done better just to get them out of the way: (note how small this list is compared to the one that will follow.) - Each replay was rewarding, but a few parts at the beginning that didn't change throughout each runthrough started to get old. ("YES, Aki, I WILL let you ask me the same four questions again!") Was this my fault for not saving right before making game changing choices? Probably. XD But without the walkthrough, you don't quite know when that point starts. - I also did feel like I was backtracking a bit, especially in later playthroughs. After a while going through each conversation again got tiring, especially when one ending was near identical to another until the last sequence. - It did seem like some of the endings were triggered by arbitrary decisions (not sending down Kevin, for example, or not telling Sophia the truth.) Buuut I suppose that made sense in context of the story (It's not as if the endings were ruined by going WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR and answering wrong), and it's easy enough and encouraged to replay. But finding the correct sequences were a bit tricky, and I had to resort to a walkthrough because I never could tell what exact decision I was messing up on. And I really don't know how you could fix this quite yet, so...just thought I'd bring it up. - Very occasionally the transitions in the music and the graphics were a bit rough - example being going back to being with Aki after the adventure with getting Kevin out of his lair, the jump of graphics made it a bit awkward. And the music, when changing, could benefit from a few fade outs. But these are minor whinings. - NEED MOAR SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN AKI AND MIKO (really this is a serious review really) Now, the good things. - This game is GORGEOUS. THe new art style does nothing but good for the feel of the game, the slight adjustments to layouts is lovely, and the music is beautiful. It's an incredibly polished game that I would expect from a top-tier visual novel company producing for say, the DS or PSP. - The writing itself is also hilarious. You do a great job of capturing each character's voice and making them recognizable and unique ("Got it in one!"). The story I thought this time was a little better woven than Jisei, which is complimented by the multiple endings. Lots of visual novel authors tend to do long, dramatic beginnings full of symbolism and such just for the sake of them being there, which I wondered at first if the tangram thing at the beginning was going to wind up being - but actually, it perfectly described the story. With each new decision tree you could see another piece of the puzzle at hand - and more importantly, the puzzle behind Kangai - fall into place, and it really made the tangram allusion ring true. - This game was also far more bang for its buck than Jisei. With the much more intricate plot and multiple endings, I felt that I was really getting my fifteen buck's worth out of it. The multiple endings were really well done here, and you could tell that you planned out the story and writing carefully. It's always a great feeling when you go back to reread something with an ending that surprised you and see that it was obvious the whole time - - Spoiler:
For example, KEVIN. Kevin, for some reason, totally came out of left field for me - my money was on suicide for some reason, or Marissa because the SD ending kept alluding to a she...but when I replayed it it was just SO CLEAR. Kevin only wanting money when it turned out he wasn't getting paid money...his emotions being so conflicted, and his being the only face that Noaki didn't get to read...ahhh it's so good! Slips right by you, and yet on the second playthroughs you can tell that you were delicately crafting this story, not just throwing it all together.
I'm also curious (while I'm in the spoiler tag) where you're going with this experiment with the Auten company and the fact Mr. Auten was stalking Kangai (Alex?). I'm thinking Kangai may have been one of the children of the mothers experimented on, or is even Mr. Auten's son. For a short time, I was wondering if Chance was the "murdered" sister turned bad. Either way, I like how the narrator knows these things, but the player is lost in the dark. You managed to make it so that it was intruiging, not confusing.
SO. Great game, smart story, and beautiful execution. willtherebeanother |

| Oh, wow. ::massive hearts:: I always appreciate another review, and your thoroughness is thoroughly fantastic. Honestly my heart is beating kind of fast right now because I'm so happy. All of your comments are fantastic. I'm always looking for things that can be improved, so thank you for that, and knowing that you enjoyed watching the story unfold makes me so happy. So thank you for that as well. Eee...so happy right now~
There's definitely more to come. Lots of big secrets and dead bodies in the future. XD (And more Aki and Miko being Aki and Miko.) | |

| After three hours of game play, I achieved all "real" the endings of Sakei Visual's game, "Kansei." That sounds short for a game, one might say, but considering the genre is "visual novel," and the story is more important than game play time, I equate the game with a movie more than anything. The interaction between characters - their backgrounds, their stories - is more important that difficulty level or game play.
However, as far as the game play is concerned, that also is a strength for this game. I could have likely found all the endings to Kansei in under two hours if I had realized the folks at Sakei Visual cared about something oddly important to visual novels: building relationships. You see, I realized what I was missing was being "open and honest" with certain characters. By denying myself information, I was unable to complete solving one end of the case. That was amazing to me.
Kansei is a definite improvement over its predecessor. All the original creation crew is on board, and they have all learned from the first game. The art has grown, the characters are more developed, the voice acting is superb, the music is wonderful, and the fact that one has to build relationships with characters is astounding to me. You leave one key out of place, and you end up with an unsolved mystery, or complete screw up.
I personally had zero issues with the game. The character of Li Mei is as mysterious and interesting as the protagonist, and I look forward to sequels to see this world fleshed out. Only critique I would give is that I wish the experience hadn't ended!

| Super happy this took longer than Jisei did for me! I'm just still sad that Chance ended up being evil...and even eviler in this game, despite the little she's in it. I mostly just have a few questions for some clarifications--though, I can totally understand if you can't answer without spoiling the next game XD - Spoiler:
So, the protagonist's real name is Alex, yes? Considering he yelled it during the true ending and yeah... However, there really wasn't much that hinted Miko knew quite a bit about his past in Jisei--regardless, that could've been on purpose and would've explained other things (like letting him help). Which brings up the next thing--will we end up finding out what happened to Alex's sister? (speaking of which, was the girl at the beginning his sister?) Or why Chance is evil?/If they ever will find out? which also brings up something...did Chance kill Liam in the Epilogue? I hope we also figure out more on the whole SD Card thing too and Mr. Auten's freak out. Part of me wonders if his sister's death was a fake and she's really hidden there or something.
On a different note, Li Mei kind of scared me in the Find the Killer XD Though, part of me thinks she could be the sister revived/edited with special abilities. I also guess since they're all ~18, they could all be children of the tested mothers.

- Spoiler:
-Yes and no. More on that later. >.>;; -Miko definitely knows more than he's saying. I think Naoki comments at one point that one of the things Aki dislikes about Miko is that he always waits a long time before making a move. He prefers to observe for a while before doing anything. -Concerning Kangai's sister, the answer is yes to both of those questions. -Chance will be showing up as a major character again in the next game. You'll get a lot of answers there.

- Naoki going to the basement to reset power, interviewing everyone as much as possible until Aki appears in the lobby, meeting Liam in the hallway and selecting "heart attack", visiting the living room after Marissa-Liam interview, to talk to Liam about the "economics project", revisiting the living room to meet a bored Liam leaving, following him to the lobby, asking the question about dog fighting; Aki appears in the scene, and his doom is sealed!

| I thought that Jisei was great, but this game tops it completely. It looks utterly professional, the writing is great and the art is on par. Definitely worth the money <3 However, I've got a few questions.. Firstly, how do I get to the true ending? I've got the other two, but I just can't seem to trigger this one, even with the walkthrough. - Spoiler:
I'm partners with Marissa, got the extra info from her, confronted Liam about the dog fighting..But every time I get the sd card, I just get the "police comes" ending. What am I doing wrong? D:'
And secondly, what nationality is Mikolaj supposed to be? His name just screams Eastern European tu me, but its pronunciation is very French. Hmmm.. | |

| Hm...I looked at the code, and you've done everything necessary to unlock the True End. Just in case, I made a quick fix patch that will force the first two endings to be cleared: http://www.box.net/shared/fomk5cbkqoh8ynrt4nkm
Add this to your game directory, and this should change the settings properly.
P.S. No one else should use this. | |

Yes, actually. It was an error in voice direction on my part. I used to date a Polish guy, but his family Anglicized their name pronunciation, so I wound up telling all the actors the wrong way to say it. (Totally my fault there.) I'll probably leave it that way for the sake of consistency, but the proper way to pronounce it would be with a "y" sound at the end of his name. | |

| Hiya! My name is Sana and I played your game like day before yesterday and I've been hunting for this forum since then! Seriously. Jisei and Kansei are two of the best VN's I've played in a while. I thought Jisei was amazing and then I played Kansei and...wow. You sure know how to make a mystery game suspenseful! Jisei was great but there were a lot of things that I felt you could have improved on. The art for example was nice but it didn't really give the "murder mystery" vibe. But Kansei was like AMAZING. Seriously. In my opinion, everything was absolutely perfect with Kansei. And Jisei's ending was kinda unexpected to me. Kansei is awesome and was like totally worth buying for. I think the same goes for Jisei too. I recommended both to my friends and they love it too! Me and my friends are totally rooting for you and your team. Oh and voice effect is TOTALLY awesome. <3 So yeah, I'm super excited about the continuation of this series and any other VN's you make. I wanted to review this game to tell you how amazing it is. You have talent with VN's! I'll end this comment by saying: You rock, girl! -Sana (P.S: Totally love Miko and Aki's interactions. I hope they end up together. xD They make me SQUEEE! <3) | |

| So, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, missing the obvious, or there's something up with my game, but I just can't seem to get the SD ending, even using the walkthrough. How am I supposed to talk to Kevin about the vault? I read Mr. Auten's last moments and went to go talk to Kevin, but he has the usual conversation options, no more. Am I supposed to talk to someone else first, or do something else before it works out? No one else seems to have this problem... But I LOVED Jisei, and I'm loving Kansei so far! You've got a lot of talent, sake! | |
