About

A dating sim made by Enterbrain, with character art by Kisai Takayama. KimiKiss is set over a period of a month, where you spend each day planning where to spend your free time at school in the hopes of running into one of the many romanceable girls. Progress is made by chance encounters, which are either short scenes or playable conversations. The conversation system (matching conversation) is made up of 5 rounds, with a set of topics that the player has prepared beforehand. Success in conversation is dependent on the player's ability to figure out what conversation topics are appealing to each girl.
