There’s a free visual novel set in the world ofKamigawa: Neon Dynasty, the magical-cyberpunk setting created as the new world forMagic: The Gathering’s latest set. Kamigawa: A Visual novel casts the player as a magically spirit-infused Imperial Samurai with an important job to do.
As you explore the neon streets of Kamigawa, you learn more about the powers of your bonded kami god-spirit, and you pick up or discard members of your party. It’s a cool game, taking you on a whirlwind tour of one of the most radical setting shakeups in Magic history. The previously low-tech and feudal Kamigawa hasn’t been visited in years, and its radical new form is a crazy twist compared to previous setting revisits.
Either way, you don’t need to know much to go and meet the moonfolk, rat-people, and snake-men who live on Kamigawa. Go get some noodles in the neon, Blade Runner style, and see what weird side quests you can find.
You can getKamigawa: A Visual Novel for free on itch.io, and presumably in the futureon Steam.The Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty cards for Magic: The Gathering release worldwide on February 18th.
