A narrative adventure where you take on the role of Buru, a retired thief who agrees to one last job... Chat with quirky locals, encounter D&D inspired mini-games, and try to uncover the truth before it’s too late in this short story about the connection between the characters and the land.
Follow the story of Bururrgan (Buru) a white ibis and retired thief who, in need of some extra coin, has returned to the vibrant seaside town of Pincher’s Cove for one last job.
Chat with the quirky anthropomorphic townsfolk, and wander the vibrant landscapes inspired by Australia, as you piece together the story.
Encounter D&D inspired mini-games where dice rolls will impact the story and your relationships, and you’ll need to use your initiative to stay out of trouble, get up to mischief, and maybe even perform some random acts of kindness along the way.
But beware, whispers ‘round town suggest a growing concern in the darkness of the mountains… and it’s up to you how the story ends!
