Inspired by Japanese horrors and the rich culture of the Land of the Cherry Blossom, this is an adventure game with strong sneaky accents. As a book collector, we find ourselves on the gloomy island of Kodok, where, as the trail indicates, a rare bibliophile specimen has been hidden. The deserted place turns out to be the habitat of demons, and our task will be to survive and find an escape route from the island.

Kodoku is a horror action-adventure game with an emphasis on stealth elements. The game draws on the rich Japanese culture and art, and its main inspirations are films, books and comic horrors from that country. The game was created by Carnivore Studio, and the project itself was created as part of Sony's program addressed to independent artists.

Plot

In Japanese folklore, the name Kodoku means a kind of toxic magic used to poison, cause misfortune or kill a person exposed to it. To create it, witches closed the most dangerous insects in one pot, allowing them to eliminate each other. The juice of the survivor was used to create poison. Kodoku is also the name of a gloomy island where the game takes place. This place was abandoned by people a long time ago, and the power on the island was taken over by condemned souls and demons from old Japanese legends. It is also the place where the protagonist of the story ends up - a collector of books, whose obsession has become the acquisition of a rare bibliophilic volume. All the clues indicate that the desired book is located in this ghostly place.
