Why play it

The remastered version of Kanon, which features the CGs in high definition and color corrected and includes full voice-acting utilizing both recordings made in the Dreamcast/PS2 and PSP releases of the game (minus Shiori, whose non-PSP lines were newly recorded) and touchscreen support.

Story and worldbuilding

Yuichi Aizawa is a second-year high school student who visited the city where the story takes place seven years before Kanon's beginning. The story opens on Wednesday, January 6, 1999, when Yuichi arrives in the city and is very detached from it and its inhabitants. Before his return, it is decided that he is to stay with his first cousin, Nayuki Minase, and her mother, Akiko. After his long absence, Yuichi has forgotten almost everything except minor details of what happened seven years before and needs to be reminded of what he left behind. Nayuki initially tries repeatedly to jog his memory but is unsuccessful. Throughout the story, as he learns about the supernatural undertones of the city, Yuichi is reminded of the events of seven years ago.

Kanon is one of the classic titles in the visual novel genre. Though some of its elements have not aged well and may annoy some new players, we have an excellent way to know a piece of Key's history here.
