About the Game

Welcome to the Mystical Island of Kaikala, home to the Makoa tribe, and Kirm, a mute boy who has been chosen by the Stars to become a legend among his peers. But first, Kirm must succeed in a rite of passage to leave his childhood behind that will be neither ordinary nor easy. It will take all of Kirm's cleverness and bravery—along with a little help from his Power Meerkat, Mirk, and his Guiding Star, Hoku—to complete his task and master the three paths of Wisdom, Courage, and Spirit.

In this 3-D point & click adventure, explore the vibrant magical island of Kaikala as Kirm undergoes the challenge of his life. Clever traps and puzzles await in dangerous jungles, caves, a volcano, a mysterious temple, and even an alternate reality! Master the unique mechanics and obstacles of each path in any order you choose, meet supernatural entities, team up with Mirk, and endure the endless bad jokes of Hoku as you reach one of six possible endings in this Rite from the Stars.

I went in with an open mind, but the game quickly turned out to be clunky, unclear, and frustrating to play. The design feels more confusing than challenging, and it often punishes you without making the goal clear. I’m even considering removing it from my Steam library entirely—something I’ve never done before—just because it messes with my achievement stats, and honestly, the price I paid isn’t enough to make me hold onto it out of guilt. Only 15% of players earned the most common achievement. That should tell you something. This game isn’t hard in a fun or clever way—it’s just poorly built. Maybe the remastered version improves things, but I won’t be checking it out, since the story didn’t really grab me either.
