Kiyo stealthy platformer game presents a challenge to sabotage via Linux and Windows PC. Developer Pixel Rats has truly showcased their creative talents. Due to make its way onto Steam.
Ready to dive into a thrilling adventure on Linux? Let me tell you about Kiyo, a stealthy platformer where you sneak, fight, and sabotage an evil bunny corporation. Yes, you heard that right, evil bunnies. Join a band of resistance animals due to reclaim their home planet from these tyrannical rabbits. It's full of stealth, ninja ropes, tricky puzzles, and loads of satirical humor.
There was a time where rabgits started acting like humans, achieving global domination in no time. So they formed the greedy BunnyCorp, enslaved other animals, and forced them into a modern city designed for control and productivity. But not everyone is taking this lying down.
Enter Kiyo and his friends, a group of rebellious animals led by an owl. They’re tired of this bunny dictatorship so they need your help to take back their planet. By a stroke of luck, it’s you who gets to help them.
