Reviews

“Imagine walking into a bar and meeting so many different people from different lives and backgrounds. Now, replace them with mythical monsters from Southeast Asia coupled with an interesting backstory for each monster. That’s Kabaret for you.”
IGN Southeast Asia

“Kabaret’s entirety (characters, story, gameplay) is inspired by SouthEast Asian folklore. A visual novel where you will be playing as Jebat who was transformed into a monster with 30 nights to break his curse.”
Indie Watch

About This Game

"The truth is this, every monster you have ever met, was once a human being."

Cursed into a monster, Jebat journeys into a realm called the "Alam Bunian". Taken in by the charismatic owner of Kabaret, known only as The Caretaker, Jebat is tasked with providing tea ceremonies to the dwellers in an effort to gather information on how to break his curse.

Kabaret is a dark fantasy folklore adventure game. The story unfolds through the eyes of Jebat, a cursed boy who is uprooted from his small town to a mystical, violent, and unforgiving monster realm. Astray and lonely in a place of unfathomable cruelty, Jebat confronts monsters both supernatural and human in the Kabaret.

Each of the mythical creatures who visit the Kabaret come from Southeast Asian folklores and legends. Listen to their unique stories, give advice through performing a tea ceremony, and find a way to break the curse.
