What is Kabaret?
Kabaret is a dark fantasy visual novel set in a realm inhabited by creatures from Southeast Asian folklore.

At the Kabaret, he serves tea to visiting creatures, hears their stories, and offers advice through ceremonies. Players can interact with more than 20 mythical beings, play the traditional games Guli and Congkak, and manage a stage performance. The story has 6 endings, each following a different route.
