Kana: Little Sister: Difference between revisions

The game has a fairly long history, with its first release by D.O. in 1999. It caused quite a splash in the industry by combining a typical [[Dating Sim]] outline with very dramatic plot elements. This went so far that the actual sex scenes are few and far between, and are used more for narrative purposes than for titillation. This resulted in the trend of drama in dating sims becoming increasingly more important than the [[Hentai|pornographic]] scenes, with often full-blown [[Tear Jerker]] content and [[Melodrama]]. Games of this type are often named [[Utsuge|"Utsu-ge"]] in Japanese, meaning "depressing game", which fits the contents nicely.

Despite being [[Cliché Storm|filled to the brim with the cliches]] that make the genre infamous, the game still has a compelling plot, helped along by Taka's thoughtful narration. It is through his eyes that we see the story unfold, starting in the past, when he and his sister were children. The game covers a time period of about 10 years, in which the characters grow and have to make (sometimes tough) decisions.

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Of a sort. Kana in the remade Kana: Okaeri! version has black hair, though she was a brunette in the original.

** Even more sort-of: The ''artwork'' from the original had her as a brunette, but this conflicts with the actual game text, which describes her hair as being black

'''Taka''': ......

'''[[Overly Long Gag|Kana: ......]]''' }}

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Taka comes extremely close to this with three girls pushing Kana around at school.

** And literally, to an extent, when Kana becomes hysterical upon learning about her true prognosis; there is an option to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|slap her back into sanity]].
