Keko & the NightShard
Keko & the NightShard is a 3D puzzle platforming adventure about a reckless pirate cat and a living fragment of the broken night sky, bound together in one body.
After the night sky shatters and the world cracks open, Keko touches something in a box he should have left alone. He and the Nightshard merge and become something neither expected, powerful but barely in control. Six corrupted rulers have claimed the wreckage of a floating continent, and a hollow, ancient villain at its highest point wants back what Keko now carries.
