Our take on Kimmy
The defining structure is a five-act summer narrative: Dana’s babysitting relationship with Kimmy develops through conversations, neighborhood activities, collected trinkets, and repeated playthroughs that reveal additional dialogue.
What is Kimmy?
Kimmy is a visual novel set during a summer in late-1960s Massachusetts.
Players take the role of Dana, a young babysitter who takes care of Kimmy, a lonely child found wandering alone in her neighborhood.
