Meet a new friend in the dreamlike City of Rivers. One Night in Kawami is a short visual novel about meeting new friends in an unknown city and possibly reshaping reality as you thought you knew it.
In One Night in Kawami, you play Max, who is about to meet an online acquaintance for the first time: Tanya. She will be your friendly guide in this metropolis where tradition and technology converge - but other than checking the sights, are there other reasons for this meetup? Only one way to find out...
You will get a first look at a longer story in this short visual novel penned by Jigu (Cobra Kai 2: Dojos Rising, Town of Zoz). This fifteen-minute tale offers slightly different outcomes on the final stretch.

Featuring character art by SlowPumpkins and backgrounds by Nanda Doti, get ready to meet Kawami's coolest citizens...
... and some other guy, apparently? No one knows who he is or cares. Every city has one of those, I guess.
If you are as into indie & alternative rock as we are, put on your phones for this. One Night in Kawami features a curated soundtrack to explore the City of Rivers' nightlife. (Creative Commons, full credits in the game)
The game features voice reactions by Jonna-Lynn Alonso, Dashawn Ricks, Vanessa Benoit, and casting director Aaron Moy - respectively, Tanya, Gilbert, Inga, and Mohawkadour.
This is Brand New Whatever's first foray into in-house development and self-publishing. It is an expanded and improved remake of Out of Phase Synchronicity, an interactive fiction text adventure Jigu submitted to IntroComp 2020.

This is your first night out in the big city. Make it count.

It's all about who utters them.

Pressing a button is easy... Most of the time, it seems.

They never thought it'd come to this; now they can never go home.

A new dawn comes - just not for everyone.
