About Kuukiyomi 2: Consider It More! - New Era

Kuukiyomi 2: Consider It More! - New Era is a puzzle simulator from G-MODE that tasks you with interpreting social scenarios to avoid awkwardness. Released in 2020, it’s a sequel to the original Kuukiyomi, keeping the core mechanic of moving a red item on-screen to resolve tense situations. Available on PS4, PC, and Switch, the game adds 100 new scenarios and a refined scoring system. Play solo in “Consider It” mode, team up in co-op for “Consider It Together,” or race in “Quick Consider It.” It’s a short, bite-sized experience focused on micro-decisions and social intuition.

Gameplay

Each scenario places you in a scene where you must drag the red item to the correct location to diffuse tension. For example, moving a phone away from someone mid-conversation or adjusting a speaker’s volume during a quiet moment. Controls are simple, mouse or touch for PC/Switch, buttons for consoles. The “Consider It Together” mode lets two players tackle scenarios cooperatively, while “Quick Consider It” turns it into a timed challenge. Most sessions last under five minutes, but replayability comes from tracking your “consideration level” and competing with others. The lack of narrative or progression beyond scoring makes it feel more like a social quiz than a story-driven game.

What Players Think

PlayPile’s community gives it a 7.5/10. 71% of players complete the base mode in 3.2 hours on average. Only 33% report positive moods, with some calling it “irritatingly vague” and others praising its “clever mini-games.” The “Consider It Together” mode has a 68% completion rate but takes 1.8 hours longer to finish. Critic reviews are split: 42% call it “a niche curiosity” while 28% highlight its “addictive simplicity.” No Steam data is available, but its $19.99 price point is consistent across platforms. Achievement hunters can unlock 45 trophies, though 58% of players miss 30%+ of them.

PlayPile's Take

Kuukiyomi 2 is a low-effort, high-concept game best for players who enjoy quick, social puzzles. The short playtime and $20 price make it a low-risk purchase for fans of experimental indies. However, the lack of depth and repetitive scenarios may frustrate those expecting more substance. The co-op mode is its strongest feature, making it a decent party game for two. If you’re looking for a casual challenge with friends, it’s worth a try. Otherwise, pass, it’s not a long-term keeper.
