KAKUDO

For maze fans who prefer a relaxing experience instead of racing against time or score. While the main story mode works fine, the other modes are currently broken. The primary purpose of this game is to tell a story, and navigating mazes is only a means of moving on to the next act. You only receive a paragraph read aloud in French as part of the presentation, which is pretty basic. There are no animations or special effects. Since there’s no predetermined score or time limit in the story mode, mazes are relaxing. These can be played in either first or third person, which is more gamer-friendly because it enables you to see what's on the other side of walls. They become more complex as you go. Coins, gems, and keys are scattered around, but they only count in the secondary "times" and "scoring" modes. Both become available after finishing every stage in a chapter. The structure of each chapter is the same: the chapter begins with a story piece, you have to solve five mazes to receive the middle story part, and you have to solve five more mazes to acquire the final story piece.

KAKUDO is a unique single-player adventure and puzzle experience that invites players into a mysterious and introspective world filled with symbolism, exploration, and quiet reflection. Rather than relying on combat, danger, or fast-paced action to maintain engagement, the game focuses on curiosity, discovery, and personal interpretation. It places players in the role of a small humanoid named Tamashï, a mysterious traveler whose origins, purpose, and connection to the strange world around him gradually become central questions throughout the adventure.

A small and unpretentious independent game that offers an interesting story and manages to captivate us. In terms of gameplay, it's not the most difficult game but it offers two alternative modes that manage to offer a little challenge that gives the title some interest. In short, a little game that I recommend

Nice little labyrinth game with a nice and cute story to lead you all along. Has a time limit mode for the people who wants to do it with some challenge, definitely has speedrun potential ! Has a functional colorblind mode aswell. Loved to play it while i was high tho, definitely another experience. This game is working perfectly on a steamdeck too. Nice job man !

Looks like crap. Runs with FPS like crap too. Ray tracing is non functional and turns itself off. There are far better one-person games out there buddy. No need to waste your time on this.
