Kaodi is a brief tale about the scars that war leaves on both the world and the heart. After playing a pivotal role in the victory over the Republic of Shan, Barren must journey home on a path laden with guilt, trauma, doubts, broken friendships, and fractured loyalties. Interact with a wide array of characters, each offering a fresh perspective on the devastation of war: stories of loss, dignity, forgiveness… The experience is enriched by a beautiful art style, blending traditional pixel art with 3D modeling techniques and effects. Through the Inner World , you’ll navigate Barren's deepest thoughts. Reflect on them or interact with other NPCs to uncover powerful testimonies, complete small quests, and much more. Even though the war is over, Barren will be forced to duel his way through certain areas. Use his movement and combat abilities to defeat opponents and overcome obstacles.
