KAPIA

It looks nice but it's really hard to get absorbed in. Every interaction means a 5-10 second pause while the character 'gets into position'. You get max 3-5mins of gameplay before a 15-20sec loading screen. Everything takes just a bit too long. Graphics are lovely but glitch often, characters walking thru scenery and the like. A real shame, because it looks like a nice adventure, especially for younger players, but it's pretty infuriating to play.

A small beautiful adventure game filled with many mini games and puzzles that are logical to solve. Kapia has the option of using a controller or using the mouse. The animation and the story are nicely done. Overall fun and enjoyable.

Kapia is a charming sci-fi fable told from the perspective of a grandfather and granddaughter's bond while making their way through a divided world. There's a handcrafted quality to Kapia which is evidenced by the genuine passion of the creators. The 3D art style is wonky, playful and expressive while simultaneously showcasing moments of beautiful craft and design. The musical score is lovely and complements each scene well. Each load screen comes with a charming child's drawing illustrating moments of the narrative, animated in a dynamic and mesmerizing way. There are many memorable one liners, playful and endearing moments with Reny (the granddaughter) and her robot friend, with great comedic timing. The controls are smooth, the world is engaging to explore and the puzzles are a nice balance of difficulty. The two main character's voice acting are in particular well performed, warm and entertaining. Despite being sci-fi the game has a mythic, storybook quality that resonates. It's fun to uncover the mystery of the narrative. And there's a nice balance of lightness, comedy and playfulness with more serious themes (on society and technology). This game feels so classic, imaginative and unpretentious. It embodies the heart and soul of what I loved about discovering adventure games in the first place. <3

A post apocalyptic world were everyone lives in domes alongside sentient robots. It’s a strange world that is somewhat like a 60s sci-fi movie idea of a future world. It’s fun, cheesy, and has a strange story. The puzzles are usually straight forward and easy but they are fairly unique to this game. The voice acting is hit and miss but not so bad as to be to distracting. Overall I would easily recommend this game. Kapia was a fun sci-fi romp that leaves you wanting more, yet still manages to have a satisfying ending.
