About

KID Corp. (Kindle Imagine Develop) published and developed notable titles such as Deep Core, Ruriiro no Yuki, Gunblaze S, Game de Seishun, and Virtuacall S. The company is highly recognized for creating the Memories Off franchise and developing entries in the Can Can Bunny series, including Can Can Bunny Premiere, Can Can Bunny Premiere 2, and Can Can Bunny Extra.

Established in 1988, the company transitioned from contract development to pioneering the bishoujo and visual novel genres on home consoles. The release of the side-scrolling shooter Deep Core in 1993 marked an early exploration of CD-ROM technology, laying the technical groundwork for narrative-driven projects. By porting and refining the Can Can Bunny series, specifically Can Can Bunny Premiere, Can Can Bunny Premiere 2, and Can Can Bunny Extra, the developer established a signature style of romance simulation that directly paved the way for the Memories Off franchise.

These early endeavors culminated in late-1990s releases like Ruriiro no Yuki, Gunblaze S, Game de Seishun, and Virtuacall S. Within the broader Memories Off narrative ecosystem, these titles refined the branching dialogue paths, emotional character arcs, and multi-ending structures that defined the era's adventure games. By targeting consoles like the Sega Saturn and PlayStation, the developer successfully brought historically PC-centric romance aesthetics to mainstream console audiences. Although the company declared bankruptcy in 2006, the design philosophies perfected across these specific titles continue to influence modern visual novels.
