Kohana

Kohana Step into Kohana, an adult visual RPG where humans and yokai coexist. As a confectioner plagued by a fox-like shadow, uncover a tragic friendship, two endings, and intense drama.

Kohana

Kohana is an engaging adult visual novel RPG that drops you into a fantasy world where humans and yokai live side by side. Follow the intense, love-and-hate dynamic between two childhood friends as their relationship is pushed through a powerful, emotional narrative.

Visually, Kohana shines with vibrant, anime-inspired artwork that brings each scene to life. You play as the owner of a confectionery shop—a young confectioner who runs Kohana—who has learned the identity of the attacker: a fox-like yokai. Even so, the shadow keeps returning to torment him, and he endures it far longer than he should. Eventually, he reaches his breaking point, and the story escalates into a conflict-driven plot filled with raw emotion.

What Makes the Story Stand Out

• A two-ending visual novel
Your choices and story progression can lead to two different endings, giving the game extra replay value.

• Dramatic tragedy at the core
Set in a Japan-inspired world where humans and yokai coexist, the plot centers on Ren, the candy shop owner. He’s repeatedly attacked by fox-like shadows and knows who’s responsible—but he’s powerless to stop it.

Things take a darker turn when the shop’s guardian, a komainu, makes a vow to eliminate the attacker. Ren then has to figure out how to stop the violent fallout between the two people he cares about—even if it costs him his own life. Along the way, you’ll uncover the friendship between childhood friends and the tragedy that caused them to split.
