TOKYO – Aug. 9, 2023 – BOKURA, the reality-bending co-op-only adventure developed by Kodansha Games Creator’s Lab with more than 90,000 downloads since its Steam Early Access release in February 2023, is now available on Steam for PCNintendo SwitchiOS and Android.

Journey hand-in-hand with a friend thanks to cross-platform support across PC via SteamNintendo SwitchiOS and Android in the new 1.0 release. Glimpse the boys’ future in the all-new playable epilogue, and experience an altered ending in the final stages with refreshed puzzle mechanics.

Two boys with a penchant for adventure run away from home, but the sight of a dead deer causes them to lose consciousness. Upon waking, the pair realizes that despite occupying the same space, they each perceive the world differently, their realities forever altered. One sees a lush world full of greenery and animals, while the other inhabits a machine-filled existence filled with robots.

Embark on a collaborative co-op-only adventure, communicating via voice chat to navigate bi-dimensional puzzles with only half of reality within reach. Observe details from both player’s surroundings, interact with artifacts in each world, and devise an agreed-upon plan on how to move forward.

BOKURA goes beyond a simple puzzle game; it’s an adventure to live through conversation with a friend. With no “right” or “wrong” way to play, only by discussing and working together will the path forward manifest. Wander down unexpected paths ion a conversational journey, and witness a touching branching narrative story that changes with every choice, leading to multiple endings.

“We are very grateful for the feedback and support we received during early access, and it’s a pleasure to provide community-requested features at launch,” says tokoronyori, creator of BOKURA. “Similar to how a child would ask a neighbor friend out to play in summer, we encourage all of you to invite a friend to experience BOKURA with you!”
