Our take on Kanna Maze
The premise gives substantial weight to murders, quantum ideas, and reality-bending mysteries, while the playable structure is a branching visual novel with retro presentation. Readers expecting an action-heavy science-fiction game may find the format narrower than the dramatic setup suggests.
What is Kanna Maze?
Kanna Maze is a science-fiction mystery visual novel set in an underground research facility.
Haryuu Ryoushi arrives there under difficult circumstances and encounters Kosakai Mio, a childhood friend believed dead for almost ten years. The story combines her unexplained return with sealed rooms, murders, altered time and experiments involving reality. Player decisions produce different outcomes, while collected fragments from those routes contribute to reconstructing the wider narrative. The game uses a structured script, multiple rounds of unlocking and a flowchart for moving through story branches. It also includes Japanese voice acting, retro-style performances, blue silhouettes, forward and backward story jumps, shared progression across rounds and cross-platform cloud saves.
