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.

Demo v823 released

This is a minor stability update to fix a startup crash experienced by Windows players with non-standard characters in their user name.

A side effect of this is that if you played a little bit before this update, and want to resume, you'll lose your progress and will need to restart.

If that makes you sad, there's a workaround: copy the following folder with its contents: C:\\Users\\\\AppData\\Roaming\\kiyo and paste it in C:\\ProgramData\\ .

In the future we will start supporting Steam Cloud saves, so there won't be such problems anymore.

Additionally, we fixed another, separate occasional crash.

Cheers,

Pixel Rats
