About the Game

Welcome to the Mystical Island of Kaikala, home to the Makoa tribe, and Kirm, a mute boy who has been chosen by the Stars to become a legend among his peers. But first, Kirm must succeed in a rite of passage to leave his childhood behind that will be neither ordinary nor easy. It will take all of Kirm's cleverness and bravery—along with a little help from his Power Meerkat, Mirk, and his Guiding Star, Hoku—to complete his task and master the three paths of Wisdom, Courage, and Spirit.

In this 3-D point & click adventure, explore the vibrant magical island of Kaikala as Kirm undergoes the challenge of his life. Clever traps and puzzles await in dangerous jungles, caves, a volcano, a mysterious temple, and even an alternate reality! Master the unique mechanics and obstacles of each path in any order you choose, meet supernatural entities, team up with Mirk, and endure the endless bad jokes of Hoku as you reach one of six possible endings in this Rite from the Stars.
