About Kalaban

✦ AI summary

Survive the mutant-infested Finnish wilderness as a hermit uncovering a dark conspiracy in this hand-crafted, story-driven action-adventure where your choices reshape the narrative. Engage in top-down combat and exploration with immersive sim-style freedom in a beautifully animated, handcrafted world full of mystery and horror.

Kalaban is a horror-themed action-adventure game by Rayhouse Productions. The game focuses on storytelling and open-ended gameplay.

STORY:
The year is 1995, in an alternate history version of Finland. Bob, a hermit and an American who has moved to Finland, lives in a backwater cabin by himself. One night he is attacked by a hideous dog-like mutant. Now he must find out what is going on, and discover the reason behind the outbreak.

FEATURES:
  • Unique story and characters: While the game has a basic premise of mutant invasion, it also features a story with real depth and complexity.
  • Top-down action: Combat and exploration are the heart of this game. You kill monsters, gain loot and eat food to heal yourself. We wanted to make the combat fun and approachable.
  • Player choice matters: Your actions and choices affect the how the story plays out. The game can be described as an immersive sim from a top-down perspective.
  • Hand-crafted world: All the level backgrounds are unique, and the main character is completely hand-animated. We wanted to achieve a high level of polish with the art.

    For all the players looking for new releases from GameRealmMadness - ENEMY REMAINS is a punishing and action-packed continuation to Kalaban, with all new frights, foes and horrors. Available now on Steam Early Access!

Sadly could not get far into it without getting bored. I like the premise but no tutorial, no control settings, no idea what I am doing. Have a go though!

The graphics are nice, it has that cozy-mysterious-creepy feeling, if you can call it that. But the game is too open, you just walk around not sure what to do, while killing werewolves and watching the hunger bar constantly go down super fast. It's a shame because I like the visuals, but the gameplay doesn't keep me entertained.

https://youtu.be/vbYo4J5Xi_c Inconsistent layering of areas makes monsters disappear between thresholds, while the gamified food system adds little besides annoyance to the formula.

Extremely buggy, extremely bad and top it all off almost 6 dollars??? Hell no, the achievements doesn't even work and it still has the audacity to ask me to purchase Area 51 Defence.
