Kim is a boisterous urchin from 1880s Lahore, his wanderlust will take him all over India. Branching conversations, survival, stealth and combat let you play Kim's coming of age however you choose. The enormous open world of Kipling's India awaits you!

As Update 12 pulls in, you will hear it getting louder because it now has 3D sounds! We’ve made a number of improvements to the game’s audio system and assets; as you explore India, creatures and objects play sounds at a volume based on Kim’s changing distance from them. We’ve also been polishing level icons, which now appear as Kim arrives in a level and animate when clicked, and rebalancing how hunger affects Kim’s stats to speed up his decline in hopeless scenarios. Last week, Kim was selected for the Made With Unity showcase at their Unite conference so we’ll be demoing it on the show floor in LA from 1st-3rd November. Our plan is to continue balancing and polishing the game, fixing bugs and adding a few final missions before launch so let us know your feedback in the forums!
