Kinoko - The forest spirit that travelled from dream to Steam.
You play as a forest spirit tasked with clearing away snow and bringing about spring. A peaceful game built on exploration and being in the moment.
Kinoko started as a university project, a small idea to create a game that gave the player a sense of peace and harmony. We ended up with a game that won Dare Academy 2018, became a player’s favourite and caught the eye of press and media.
With over 168k downloads on Steam, we are blown away by the love players have shown towards our wee forest spirit and the world they inhabit.
I am endlessly proud of our team and the effort we put into Kinoko.
