WELCOME TO THE ARCHIPELAGO

It's a big day! Stick has finally perfected his latest invention: the Stele Translator! With it, you can explore the ruins of the archipelago and discover the Karas, the people who lived here thousands of years before you.

Who were the Karas? Did they ever return to their homeland? What could the strange blue rock they called "Helium" have been used for? To answer these questions, you'll have to explore mysterious ruins swallowed by the ocean, sun-drenched islands, and even a vast ancient city hidden deep within the earth.

GET READY TO THINK

In this first-person adventure, numerous puzzles will stand in your way. To solve them, you'll need to be able to question your assumptions and think outside the box.

Furthermore, the various stelae conceal numerous clues, so read them very carefully! Fortunately for you, the journal allows you to access any stele you've already read, regardless of your location.

Kaori is what some might call a "Metroidbrainia" or "knowledge-based game." That is to say, a game set in a semi-open world where you don't open doors using keys or unlocked skills, but rather through knowledge gained by solving puzzles and uncovering the game's story.

Moreover, the game's story and puzzles are extremely interconnected. Some puzzles you manage to solve will reveal information about the game's universe that isn't explicitly stated in any text.

WHO WILL THE GAME ENJOY?

Kaori is heavily inspired by the game "Outer Wilds." The game was designed to offer a similar experience in certain aspects. However, it's not the only source of inspiration. Here's a list of the different games that inspired Kaori:

• Outer Wilds

• The Legend of Zelda (especially Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild for the music)

• Tunic

If you enjoy any of these games, Kaori might interest you.

THE DEMO

The goal of this demo is to gather feedback to improve the gameplay experience and fix any potential bugs. Therefore, the content of the base game will be very similar to that of the demo. If you play this demo, please feel free to share your thoughts to help me improve.

The demo is currently only available in French; however, an update with an English version will be released. The game will also be available in English in its final version.

The music was composed by the very talented Shy Gah!
