Play One Night in Kawami

About This Game

Welcome to the City of Rivers!

In One Night in Kawami, you play Max, who is about to meet an online acquaintance for the first time: Tanya. She will be your friendly guide in this metropolis where tradition and technology converge - but other than checking the sights, are there other reasons for this meetup? Only one way to find out...

You will get a first look at a longer story in this short visual novel penned by Jigu (Cobra Kai 2: Dojos Rising, A Match Made in Limbo). This fifteen-minute tale offers slightly different outcomes on the final stretch.
