KiriKiri is often used as a more modern and expandable replacement of the older NScripter engine. It has been used in both doujin and commercial visual novels, the most well-known of which are TYPE-MOON’s Fate/stay night and Fate/hollow ataraxia.

The Nekopara game series, available on Steam, also uses a modified version of Kirikiri.
