Kyowob (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Looking for an adventure?
So was he.
Step into the shoes of Kyowob, a naive yet adventurous young boy who gets lost during an attempt to explore a mysterious abandoned mansion. Find your way through dark, winding corridors, uncover forgotten secrets, and do everything you can to find the keys to the exit... all while making sure that you're not found yourself.
In spite of the eerie silence throughout the pitch-black hallways, you are all but alone. The mansion's native inhabitants—whatever they may be—are unlike anything you've seen before. They're big, powerful, and ruthless creatures; there is no hope in fighting back. You'll just have to stay low... stay low and pray that nothing is lurking around the corner.
Fortunately, you've at least remembered to pack, so you have a few tools at your disposal:
- Flashlight: illuminates the path ahead—but may reveal more than you'd like
- Radar: provides a brief view of the surrounding area and anything in it
- Battery: powers your radar and recharges when not in use—unless you overwork it
Features
Very little is known about what the mansion has to hide, but its secrets are rumored to be terribly unforgiving. As you venture further into the darkness, prepare yourself for:
- Skillful and strategic management
- Dynamic gameplay that can go from silent hiding to heart-pounding pursuit in an instant
- A sensory-depriving environment built on dread and uncertainty
- Terrible creatures that do anything but hesitate
- Startling noises and visuals
- Jumpscares
Will you survive?
