Official Kibu Press Release
Recently at the Wholesome Direct showcase, solo developer and Omno creator Jonas Manke (Studio Inkyfox) and publisher Future Friends Games (Omno, Exo One, Europa) unveiled their brand new game, Kibu, which is scheduled to arrive on Steam in 2024.
About the game
From the creator of indie hit Omno, Kibu is a tranquil adventure in the heart of the wilderness. As a solitary monk, you must build a temple, brew delicious teas, and journey into the wilds seeking out the ancient spirits of the land. Carve out your own special corner of home in a beautiful, mysterious land.
Quote from the developer
“Following on from the success of Omno has been a real journey in itself, working through many concepts and prototypes to try to find ‘the one’”, said Jonas Manke, creator of Kibu. “As soon as I landed on the idea of Kibu, a solitary monk building a temple and making his way in the world, I knew it was the one. It’s been so enjoyable taking the things players loved most about Omno – journeying through vibrant, mysterious lands – and developing this with new ideas and gameplay systems that should help bring the world I’m creating to life in a whole new way. I can’t wait to see what the world of Kibu becomes!”
