Omno’s developer Studio Inkyfox joins Future Friends Games to reveal Kibu, a “tranquil adventure” game that is set to be released for PC via Steam. While the specific release date has not yet been announced, Kibu promises a unique experience centered on solitude, exploration, and creation.
Kibu invites players into the serene tranquility of an expansive wilderness, assuming the role of a solitary monk on a journey of spiritual discovery. Set against a backdrop of exquisite landscapes, players are tasked with building their own temple, brewing various teas, and seeking out the ancient spirits that reside in this picturesque world. The emphasis lies in carving out a unique space within this beautifully rendered, mysterious land.
Along with the announcement of Kibu, a reveal teaser trailer that offers a glimpse into the game’s tranquil setting was also unveiled. Set to a soothing Asian melody, the trailer provides scenes of the protagonist engaging in his everyday activities like mining with a pickaxe, foraging for wild mushrooms, and tilling the soil.

Kibu’s standout feature is the immersive experience of journeying through the game’s varied environments. Players are encouraged to explore this captivating wilderness, unravel its hidden secrets, and engage with the enigmatic narratives that the world has to offer. The game’s combat system provides additional interactions, as players wield a staff to overcome potentially hostile foes, introducing an element of challenge to this otherwise peaceful journey.
Kibu’s gameplay centers on finding one’s place within its world. Players are given the tools to create a sanctuary that is uniquely their own by building and customizing a temple. This process extends to the natural world around them, as players can engage in farming and foraging activities, nurturing a vibrant garden, and making the most of the bountiful resources the environment provides.
The game also delves into the intricate art of tea brewing, enabling players to concoct a variety of teas with different effects that can enhance their journey through this tranquil wilderness.
