The lights went out and the dead came walking. Somewhere in the fog, survivors are hiding, waiting, praying someone comes for them. You are Kuma and her friends: find them, calm them, and walk them home through the dark. Fortify the camp. Hold the night. Save who you can before the sun forgets to rise.
Kuma & Friends is a co-op survival-horror rescue game set across one long, fog-drowned night. You explore an open world, forest, a snowbound village, an old cemetery, a broken-down farm, hunting for survivors scattered in the dark and leading them back to a safe camp.
Survivors are people, not pickups. They tire when you run, panic when you push too hard, and need you to slow down and keep them close. Every one you bring home makes the camp stronger, and every one you leave out there is a choice the ending will remember.
Early in-engine captures. Atmosphere, fog, and lighting are still being tuned.
Find survivors hiding in the dark, earn their trust, and walk them home. They tire, they panic, and they slow down, keep them close or lose them.
Every rescue makes the safe zone stronger. Grow it from a bare outpost to a walled, floodlit stronghold across four fortification tiers.
Team up with up to three friends. Cover each other, revive the downed, and split up to sweep more of the map. No one gets left in the dark.
A forest, a snowbound village, an old cemetery, and a ruined farm, all under rolling fog, drifting light, and a sky that never quite clears.
The dark hides more than the shambling dead. Towering hunters, like the ten-foot Croc, stalk the map and change how you move.
How many you save, who you lose, and how you spend the night all matter. Your choices decide how the story closes.
