INTERACTIVE EXPLORATION SIMULATOR

Influenced by titles such as ‘Dear Esther’ and ‘Gone Home’, ‘Niten’ is a story driven exploration game experienced through first-person gameplay. Uncover the history of the remote Japanese island and its previous inhabitants; a Samurai master and his orphan-child student.

UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENTS

Built using Unreal Engine 4 and with assets created using Speedtree, ‘Niten’ presents a beautiful, lush landscape. The dynamic weather and diverse lighting makes each playthrough unique and mesmerizing.

Experience a place where ancient Japanese culture meets breathtaking scenery, blossoming cherry trees and a sky that will tell you a story in itself. Watch the weather turn and see the sun go down, feel the chill of the morning mist and let dandelion seeds sweep past you as you are free to discover and uncover the mystery of the island.

A RELAXING FREE-ROAM EXPERIENCE

‘Niten’ is designed to provide an atmospheric and tranquil experience for you as a player and you will be free to roam the island in any way you desire as you search to discover its secrets.

Let fireflies guide you through the night as you walk up the hills of the island. Feel the sand and water on your toes as you wonder along the beach. From the deepest bamboo forest, the open field with its colourful and vibrant flowers to the spine-chilling darkness of the mysterious cave and the serene lake filled with water lilies, the island is yours to explore as you wish.

CUSTOMISE YOUR ZEN GARDEN

Take a break from exploring the island to discover your inner Zen-master as you cultivate your lodge and garden with a wide range of alternative decor, foliage and unique collectible items.

ORIGINAL VOICE ACTING & SOUNDTRACK
With professional voice-acting and an original, studio-engineered score, ‘Niten’ provides a fully immersive audio experience in addition to its polished visuals. The story of the Samurai master and his orphan-child student is told entirely through audio.

UNLOCK A GRAPHIC NOVEL
At the end of each playthrough of the game you will be able to download the story fragments you have uncovered as pages of a fully illustrated graphic novel.
