Evaluation
Ken ga Kimi is a port of a visual novel originally released in 2013, brought to Steam on March 25, 2020. The store description presents it as a complete package, explicitly listing all included content: the full original story plus added content from the "Ken ga Kimi for V" version (new date scenes, epilogues, CGs, songs, and voice lines). There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced future content, and no developer roadmap. The only post-launch developer activity consists of three bug-fix patches — two shortly after launch in March 2020, and one final patch on March 22, 2022 — with no further communication since. The game launched as a finished product and has received no content updates beyond technical maintenance. The developer has been silent since March 22, 2022, consistent with a game that shipped complete with no further additions planned.

About this game
Heroine Kayo is the daughter of a food and tea house who is living with her father in Edo. One day, a Tokugawa samurai came with an order of life and death, that is, disguising as the princess and joining in the false bridal procession. The samurai said that Kayo and the princess are two peas in a pod. Thinking that the food and tea house would be hard to run if she refuses, Kayo set her mind to accept this assignment and started her trip in Tōkaidō. In this visual novel, you will play the role of Kayo to interact with the samurais. You can control the storyline with different selections and unlock 24 endings of 6 main characters.
Ken ga Kimi has been critically acclaimed since it was first released in 2013, and now you can experience both the original story and new contents in simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and Japanese!
The story consists of two parts which are prequel "False Bridal Procession in Tōkaidō" and sequel "Sword Retrieving Imperial Match".
The sequel tells the story about the heroine and the character she fell in love with, which will be separated into "Ken(sword)" and "Kimi(you)" based on your choice.
Ken— He chose the road of samurai which is along with death and separation.
Kimi— He has changed because of your influence, the rest of your life is a life with happiness.
In sequel, "Magatama Selection" will take the role of trigger to advance the story instead of the normal selection in prequel.
Magatama Selection includes four attributes that called "shikon(four souls)": courage, wisdom, love, and friendship.
Shikon's state changes depending on player's selection. That is, your selection will increase the value of a particular shikon, and eventually these different states will divide the ending into "Ken" and "Kimi". In general, every main character has 4 different endings according to player's selection.
In addition, "Epilog" with a new scenario will be unlocked after the story advanced to an ending. Each ending has one epilog.
