It’s a nifty, peculiar dungeon crawler and basic role-playing sport by which the protagonist is Kimuto, a cute sword-wielding kitten, on the quest to face the harsh world of labor in his first day of the new job. Sounds intriguing? Alright, how about the indisputable fact that it is a full retro expertise with sharp 1-bit visuals and catchy music and sound results? Not satisfied but?

The sport is created by Josyan, solo indie developer who beforehand labored on video games corresponding to Zeroptian Invasion and Tamiku. He was additionally concerned in working on the Alex Kidd in MW remake.

While writing this text, I took the likelihood of asking Josyan himself for a quick remark on the sport’s idea. Here’s what he advised me:
“It’s actually a small experiment, when I started it was more like a blank sheet where I could put mechanics, jokes and moments that I liked. I also feel that it is a very personal project since it embodied many of my own ideas and messages. I’m inspired by all the classic grades dungeon crawlers, but the game has so many different mechanics and mini-games that I’d be lying if there wasn’t a lifetime of good gaming moments in there. I hope all those who enjoy searching for secrets beyond what the eyes can perceive will like the game and also the classic players of course!”.
