Our take on KOBOLOK
The defining hook is the recurring bread contest: a brutal event the group holds every 3 years, tying the folktale-inspired story to its mystery.
What is KOBOLOK?
KOBOLOK is a horror game based on an Eastern European folktale about Kolobok, a round bread.
Its story follows a boy who runs away from his parents and becomes lost in the woods, where he finds a new group. Their bond comes with a terrible cost: a brutal bread contest held every 3 years. The game also follows a man trapped in a time loop with a cult in the mountains. Its locations range from forests and roads to an old Ukrainian apartment. The presentation uses graphics inspired by the PS1 era and atmospheric sound, framing the mystery around the contest and the people caught in the loop.
