IMPORTANT: 

There have been some major bug fixes that I can't put on the main page during the judging period, so please download the 1.1 version from this link or visit kana.exe's gamejolt page. I will update the itchi.o file as soon as I can!

There is also a chinese version that you can find here! Big thanks to SilverWhite for the translation! 😄

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.

Beta:

The game is currently in beta and may contain some bugs. Please make sure to save your game in case of crashes or soft locking. If you can, please download the game and play it on desktop as that is the most tested and optimised version. Since this game was made for the RPG Maker jam 2025, I won't be able to update it until the judging period is over, but it would still be very helpful if you report any bugs that you find!

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 :)
