The story in "Kansei" expands on the characters and overarching narrative introduced in "Jisei," shifting focus from the murder mystery to a broader storyline that feels more like a chapter in a larger book. While the main mystery may not engage all players, the game requires a replay to explore different endings, which some find frustrating. Overall, it serves as a continuation of the series, necessitating familiarity with the first game for a complete understanding.
- “Kansei is much longer than jisei; we learn more about our group of gifted teenagers, and we get an idea of the overarching storyline.”
- “If jisei was like a prequel, kansei is where the story really begins, and it's a game I feel you really need to play with the first one in order to get an idea as to whether or not this series will be one for you.”
- “Also, as in the first game, the murder mystery isn't really the main mystery in the story.”
- “This novel looks more like a part of a story (a chapter in a book, if you wish) and not an independent game.”
- “As a murder mystery, I don't really care about who the murderer is since this one has one main mystery/story that I'm looking forward to more than finding out about the murderer.”
