Mizu no Senritsu 2: Hi no Kioku

About

Mizu no Senritsu 2: Hi no Kioku is a visual novel from KID that mixes slice-of-life storytelling with sudden bursts of swordplay. You play as Kashiwagi Kira, a high school student caught up in strange occurrences that force them to swing a blade against supernatural threats. The game alternates between dialogue-driven scenes and mini action sequences where you dodge and strike in real time. Choices shape relationships and outcomes, with branching paths leading to multiple endings. The sequel builds on its predecessor’s quirky tone while refining KID’s signature blend of melodrama and absurdity. While the combat feels more like a novelty than a core mechanic, the sudden shifts from schoolyard banter to violent clashes create a distinct rhythm. Longtime fans praise the character dynamics and emotional beats, though the 2006 release shows its age with dated art and pacing. It remains a cult favorite for those who enjoy visual novels with an unexpected edge.
