Kai Unearthed is a meditation on an unpoliced future healing from climate change. In this interactive 3D world, you can become a Wildtender, someone who heals the relationship between humans and more-than-human beings. Reflect on the choices you make, the artifacts you leave behind, and the worlds that will grow out of them, through a journal, an interactive story, and a psychedelic scavenger hunt. Jump into a psychedelic Afrofuturist world as you take on the role of Kai, an aspiring Wildtender! Nurture relationships through an interactive dialogue system. Choose what you want to say, and how you relate to your crush and your elders. Nurture relationships as you tend the wildness of a regrowing planet! Connect with your ancestors and the artifacts they left behind during the volatile final decades of the Capitalist Era. Use an actual journal that accompanies you throughout the game! A pdf of the journal sits within the download folder of the game (check where steam holds your folder!). Throughout the game you will use the journal to participate in meditative practices, learn something new, or unlock something in the game! For Mac users: The Mac version of Kai Unearthed can be found on its itch page through the Kai Unearthed official website.
