kana.exe

Winner of the Most Innovative Gameplay category in the RPG Maker Jam 2025

In late 2006, the popular internet blog known as 'Kana's World' disappeared, leaving no trace behind of its owner. 3 Months later while looking for clues, you find a strange game with Kana as the protagonist. What happened to Kana and what is the true purpose of this game? 

Kana.exe is a Y2K inspired mystery horror game. The gameplay was largely inspired by games such as Yume Nikki, Doki Doki literature club and pony island.

In the spirit of the game, I want to try out a discussion board instead of an open comment section.  I've opened a thread where you can leave any general comments or feedback you may have. It's highly appreciated!

I am happy and thankful for any streams or let's play the game! Please include the credits at least once and make sure to link this game page in the description, if there is one.  (If there isn't, then no worries, of course.) Furthermore, I've made a thread for content creation, where you are encouraged to link your let's play so that anyone who wants to experience the game through different means is able to :)
