New Adventure Horror Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit Revealed
Independent Thai studio WereBuff has officially announced their debut project, Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit, a new adventure horror game that draws heavily from the acclaimed Little Nightmares series. However, instead of European dark fairy tales, Kumarn delves deep into the rich and often eerie world of Thai folklore for its scares.
A Spirit's Journey Through Cursed Lands
Players will step into the ethereal shoes of Kumarn, a child-like spirit once revered in a village shrine. After an unexplained exile, Kumarn finds himself in a haunting world of cursed locations. Accompanied by a loyal zebra companion, he must journey through forgotten temples, ghost-ridden villages, and desolate cemeteries, all in a quest to find his way back home.
Much like its inspiration, Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit challenges players to navigate its terrifying environments by mastering stealth and solving clever environmental puzzles. Hiding from grotesque monsters and using your wits will be crucial for survival. The game also features precise platforming segments, demanding quick reflexes and careful movement. The narrative unfolds purely through the atmospheric surroundings, with no voice-acted dialogues, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the world's unsettling beauty and tragic story.
Platforms and Gamescom 2025 Demo
Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit is currently in development for PC via Steam, with plans for release on unannounced consoles. While a specific release date has not yet been revealed, the game is confirmed to support English as its primary language. Fans eager to get a first look can mark their calendars: a playable demo will be showcased at gamescom 2025, running from August 20th to August 24th.
This debut title from WereBuff promises a fresh take on the atmospheric horror genre, combining familiar gameplay mechanics with a unique cultural backdrop. The blend of child-like vulnerability, a loyal companion, and the chilling elements of Thai folklore suggests Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit could offer a truly distinct and memorable horror experience for players worldwide.
