Hello travellers,

We’re so excited to formally introduce Buru and The Old People!

In this short, narrative adventure game, you’ll follow the story of Bururrgan (Buru) a white ibis and retired thief who, in need of some extra coin, has returned to the vibrant seaside town of Pincher’s Cove for one last job. 

Chat with a variety of quirky anthropomorphic townsfolk, and wander the vibrant, hand-drawn world inspired by the Australian landscape, as you piece together the story. 

Take on D&D inspired mini-games where dice rolls will impact the story and your relationships. Use your initiative to stay out of trouble, or get up to mischief!

But beware, whispers ‘round town suggest a growing concern in the darkness of the mountains… and it’s up to you how the story ends.

You can watch our announcement trailer now!
