Embark on an adventure with the KIND!
'KIND'
In the past, they were considered unknown beings, such as gods or monsters,
but today, they live alongside us in human society.
Barabin, a kidney bean-shaped KIND,
saved you when you got lost in the forest.
Together with him, explore 'Handong'— the land where humans and KIND coexist.
Diverse Environmental Puzzles
'Handong' is now being struck by unexplained natural disasters.
Late spring blizzards, sudden earthquakes, mysterious fog...
Solve unique puzzles tailored to each disaster
and uncover the secrets hidden in the Handong region.
Cooperation System
Problems you can't solve alone become manageable with companions.
Choose which character to control and use their abilities,
work together or split up to solve puzzles in distant places,
lift a companion onto your head to reach high objects—
with the bond of your companions, you're already an explorer!
KIND Companions with Special Powers
Adventure with KIND companions, each with their own unique ability.
With reliable friends who can run on water, move through the ground,
and break boulders, no threat is too daunting.
