Developer WereBuff Studio recently announced Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit, a Little Nightmares-inspired horror game that blends Southeast Asian mythology with beautifully designed levels to create a chilling adventure. The game is set to launch on PC, with console versions to come later.
Set in a twisted version of Thailand from 50 years ago, Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit follows the story of a lost spirit child, Kumarn, on a surreal journey to find his way to a new home. Kidnapped by dark forces and separated from his loyal zebra companion, Kumarn must explore twisted renditions of Thai landmarks and outwit terrifying spirits pulled from age-old myths, including Mae Nak, the Krasue, and Phi Ta Khon.
Key Features
- Explore the Spirit World: Journey through six chilling chapters inspired by Thai temples, shrines, graveyards, and haunted villages.
- Cultural Horror, Reimagined: Encounter iconic Thai ghosts like Mae Nak, Phi Ta Khon and Krasue, brought to life with modern horror design.
- Stealth and Puzzle Mechanics: Hide, think, sneak and run as you make your way through deadly encounters while solving environmental puzzles along the way.
- A Mystical Companion: Team up with Zeb, a sacred zebra spirit that will guide Kumarn and help him survive the dangers that lurk around every corner.
- Minimalist Storytelling: Atmospheric design and haunting visuals deliver emotion and lore without relying on heavy dialogue.
WereBuff Studio will be showcasing Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit at Gamescom in the Thai Pavilion (Hall 3.2 B010 #8). Players at home can also wishlist the game on Steam.
