Unveiled during “Games Forged in Germany” Steam event, solo developer Studio Inkyfox (Jonas Manke), best known for the indie hit Omno, officially lifted the veil on his next project: Kibu. Published by Future Friends Games (Omno, Exo One, Europa), this atmospheric action-adventure is set to launch on PC via Steam later this year.
The brand-new gameplay trailer showcases a meditative journey through painterly landscapes, spiritual encounters, and tactile exploration, all set in a peaceful wilderness that’s begging to be restored.
A Monk’s Journey into Nature and the Spirit World
In Kibu, you play as a solitary monk living off the land, guided by the spirits of nature and the wisdom they offer. Armed with a mystical staff, you’ll glide through vast landscapes, scale towering cliffs, and battle shadowy foes on a quest to bring life back to a crumbling temple—your home and sanctuary.
This is not a loud, fast-paced adventure. Like Omno, Kibu leans into peaceful solitude, nature, and quiet discovery.
