History

In November 2017 on a long and restless journey through snowy Siberia, the first seed of an idea was planted: making a game about discovering our interesting world and its folk stories.
Thanks to further travelling and interactions, the concept evolved to include mythology, wildlife and folk music of the different regions. After several months of prototyping, internal playtesting and exploring regional artstyles, the look and style for the game was established.

Now, that initial seed has taken root and is growing into the universe of Tales of Kulplex.
