It was released today by the Secret Games Company, the official trailer for their upcoming RPG – Kim. Kim invites players to explore the colonial India of Rudyard Kipling’s writing – an enormous open world of 17 hand-painted towns and 450 procedural levels from Afghanistan to the Himalayas. You will enjoy branching narratives, stealth, combat and survival gameplay as you tell your own version of this classic adventure. Will you be violent, a pacifist, a thief or an honest man? Kim is made to be replayed so you can try them all!
Check out the official trailer of Kim, showcasing the games’ features:
“Kim is set for an October 24 release on Steam.
Kim is an open world RPG that puts you in the shoes of a literary hero, the irrepressible ‘friend of all the world’, Kim. You will learn to survive as a penniless urchin, complete objectives, collect items and garner favor with the spies of the secret service. Your aim is to live Kim’s youth as best you can for it is fleeting but if at first you don’t succeed, you may retell this classic adventure as often as you wish!
