Playtest starts today at 5 PM GMT!

The Resistances search has brought results. You, human, will take control over the body of Kiyo - an anthropomorphic lynx, ex-predator. Your ultimate goal: to destroy the evil BunnyCorp and restore the natural state of things. But for now, lets start with small steps.

The test build will become the demo build over time. We need your help and feedback to make it as good as it gets. In the current version of the game, youll get to know how the story begins, will pass a tutorial section and will be able to take on a first mini-level. Aside from this, youll have plenty of venues to explore. The purpose of the playtest is to iron out all the bugs that are about to be found. Join our Discord server to share your feedback and have a good time! The playtest of Kiyo features:

Tutorial level and first mini-level
Most of the main gameplay mechanics are introduced: sneaking, archery, ninja rope, and cat vision. What are they? See for yourself!
Two city neighbourhoods which youll be able to explore freely
Working metro system
Various indoor locations
The beginning of the adventure is revealed
Xbox controller recommended

Thank you all so much in advance for giving Kiyo a shot and seeing if you like the game. Its a massive undertaking for our small team and we hope that youll realise Kiyo is something special. Cheers!

Known issues

Certain antivirus software could block the game - that's a false positive

In case of input loss, switching to the menu and back to the game should solve it

From the first moment you run Kiyo, you will be dragged into its unconventional world, that bears an eerie resemblance to our own. Prepare to be surprised by a bunch of wacky characters (three playable), unexpected scenes and ultra-detailed handcrafted locations. Explore Rabbithole City's neighborhoods on foot and by metro, dive into tricky levels and get carried away by the amazing soundtrack.
The game is story-based, full of satyrical humor, pole-dancing animals in dubious clubs and surprising dialogues.
It's built from the ground up, starting from a brand new 2D pixel art engine featuring 3D lighting and raytraced shadows, in order to offer a unique experience that will blow your mind.
Developed by an old-style indie team of two pixel rats.
