BeefJack: RECOMMENDED - "It may strike as an odd time for a game to break away from the safety net of guns and goons, but Kairo is a welcome retreat from the chaos and high drama that traditionally characterises this period of the gaming calendar. There are no goons. There are no guns. There are no explosions, no waypoints, no cars that go fast nor any Hollywood-hued cinematics. Instead there is you and there is Kairo: an enigmatic, enchanting place quite unlike anything else in recent memory."
Indie Developer Locked Door Puzzle are planning to bring two of their titles to PlayStation Vita. The three-person studio is currently in talks with Sony to create Vita versions of the atmospheric Kairo, and the upcoming Journal.
Its interesting that lately a few indie devs have started looking into PSV development. Hope this keeps upm and hopefully the bigger publishers start looking at releasing some more software for the device.
For some, Myst wasn’t engrossing so much as dull and frustrating. Unfortunately, a great swath of the remainder of the gaming community apparently had their hearts and minds not so much touched as squeezed with extreme force by Myst until more games of its ilk issued forth in a great deluge. One such game is recent first-person indie adventure Kairo.
GP writer Marcus Estrada reviews Kairo on PC.
This game looks really interesting, it's nice to see a shift from the usual.
