The free indie coupling novel 'Select Kiss' is being expanded into a paid enhanced version titled 'Select Kiss +Plus', with a crowdfunding campaign running through July 26, 2026, and a planned release on Steam and smartphones in November 2026.
The developer nagainyu announced 'Select Kiss +Plus' on June 10, 2026, an enhanced version of the free coupling novel 'Select Kiss'. The new version adds epilogues, new illustrations, and music. A crowdfunding campaign on CAMPFIRE runs from June 10 to July 26, 2026, with a target of 1 million yen. The enhanced version is planned for paid release on Steam and smartphones in November 2026.
Three other stories published in the same week involve works with 'Kiss' in their titles but are unrelated to 'Select Kiss'. Fellow Traveller announced 'Red Kiss', a tactical narrative RPG set in Cold War Berlin, on June 7. HuneX announced a PC and Nintendo Switch port of 'Meiji Tokyo Renka: Twilight Kiss' on June 5, dated for October 29, 2026. NEXST Inc. announced the global release of 'Xmersive: KISS OF LIFE from Japan Debut Tour [Lucky Day]' on June 1, a VR concert capturing four songs from the group's Japan debut tour.
These three announcements share no connection to 'Select Kiss' or to each other beyond the word 'kiss' in their titles. The 'Select Kiss' series remains a single free game from nagainyu, now being developed into a commercial product through crowdfunding.
