OKU - PC (Steam)

Become a traveling monk and embark on a journey towards spiritual growth. Ride the wind across artistic Japanese landscapes as you write Haiku-like poems to capture the beauty of nature and unlock forgotten paths.

A Poetic Journey

Set out on an introspective journey through an artistic Japanese landscape as a monk following in the footsteps of their departed master. Write Haiku-like poems to capture the beauty of nature and grow your connection to a world rooted in Japanese spirituality. Open up long abandoned paths and find your way to mysterious places on a quest to understand your master’s teachings and deepen your literary craft.

Flowing with the Wind

Use the monk’s abilities to ride the winds across lush meadows and rushing rivers. Let your flowing movements carry you through the seasons, over pristine spring waters, snowy fields and misty mountain ridges. Solve meditative movement challenges that will whisk you away to new scenic areas, where you may sit, breathe and open yourself to the teachings of nature.

Woodblock-printed Vistas

Immerse yourself in a world infused with the essence of traditional Japanese woodblock prints. Explore rustling bamboo thickets, glacial peaks and forests tinged with the red hues of autumn.

Along the way, you may stumble upon poems left behind by other players that set out on the same spiritual journey. Let them inspire and guide you to write your own, which in turn will be read by those following in your own footsteps. Give your poems a personal touch with handcrafted stamps you receive from mystic spirits hidden throughout the land.

Forgotten Places

Rediscover places that have long been forgotten and are sealed shut by a mysterious force. As time and the seasons pass, the land grows derelict where no one is there to appreciate it. Use your poetry to breathe life back into these secluded areas as your journey takes you from the hopeful beginning of a new spring to the tranquil solitude of winter.
