Path of Kami: Journey Begins

Path of Kami: Journey Begins is a puzzle exploration game that follows Kazeyo, the spirit of a Japanese wolf, as he moves through the trials of the Mortal and Spirit Worlds. He is accompanied by a Wisp companion who guides him on his journey. The story draws on traditional Japanese folktales, including Momotaro and Issun-Boushi, alongside a more personal journey for the main character. This instalment covers a portion of Kazeyo’s journey through the Mortal realm and serves as an introduction to the world of Path of Kami.

Players solve puzzles and uncover secrets by using Kazeyo’s spirit fire powers, which includes puzzles based on lighting lanterns. The game also involves exploring environments inspired by Japan, where a variety of collectibles can be found.

The game is set in ancient Japan and presents a handcrafted 3D world with a painterly visual style. The soundtrack was composed by Mark Choi.
