About

Kaodi is a brief tale about the scars that war leaves on both the world and the heart. After playing a pivotal role in the victory over the Republic of Shan, Barren must journey home on a path laden with guilt, trauma, doubts, broken friendships, and fractured loyalties.
Interact with a wide array of characters, each offering a fresh perspective on the devastation of war: stories of loss, dignity, forgiveness…
The experience is enriched by a beautiful art style, blending traditional pixel art with 3D modeling techniques and effects.

Through the Inner World, you’ll navigate Barren's deepest thoughts. Reflect on them or interact with other NPCs to uncover powerful testimonies, complete small quests, and much more.

Even though the war is over, Barren will be forced to duel his way through certain areas. Use his movement and combat abilities to defeat opponents and overcome obstacles.

[h1]《Kaodi》:一个精简的好故事[/h1] 我玩Kaodi用了不到1个小时,流程好短,但中间好几次我都停下来反复琢磨角色和内心。虽然宣传上看起来像是一款平台跳跃游戏,但实际体验下来,战斗和跳跃只是附带内容,更多像是一部用轻度交互包装的短篇视觉小说。(只是个人的看法啦 游戏讲的是Kaodi与Shan两个部族之间长期战争的背景下,一个被册封为英雄的士兵回乡的故事。我控制的角色叫Barren,沿着一条主线慢慢走、偶尔会有需要跳跃的地方、和NPC对话,一点点理解这场战争对士兵、平民和统治阶层不同角度的影响。大部分剧情都藏在对话和内心独白中,节奏很慢,但情绪推得很扎实。不会有很大的起伏,如果不是黑白的画风甚至会感到一丝惬意. 让我印象最深的是几个关键节点的选择,虽然系统上没明确提示“现在在选结局”,但对话走向和Barren的语气其实已经开始偏向分歧了。我没去触发某个支线事件,所以没看到最好的结局,通关之后确实觉得有点遗憾。加上没中文,看着密密麻麻的字符还是有点犯困的,不知道后续会不会更新语言呢. 美术方面没啥好说的,像素风,风格挺干净。BGM反而让我有点惊喜,虽然旋律不多,但在关键剧情段落铺得刚好,不会太煽情。 整体来说,Kaodi是那种不能指望在玩法上带来多少花样的游戏,但如果对战争题材和道德模糊地带感兴趣,又愿意接受一段比较静态的叙事旅程,那么这款游戏还是挺值得一试的。 问题就是时间太短了,很多铺垫和设定只展开了一点点就结束了,有点像还没完全讲完的故事。 [quote] 关注鉴赏组:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45134494]浮生评测[/url] ← "浮生若梦,一鉴倾心,邀您共赏人间烟火" 加入Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/LLFLLFF]浮生评测[/url] ← “一起追寻 '浮生若梦' 般的游戏体验” 开始“浮生若梦”鉴赏组的奇幻之旅!

It's a nice game, but it's very short. The art style is very nice, and so is the interesting story with a touching message. However, although there are one or two interesting gameplay mechanics, a platforming section, and a bit of fighting (albeit only like 6 of the same type of enemies), since it's all so short, it fails at leaving a mark. With an expanded storyline, more gameplay mechanics, different enemies, and such, and while keeping the charming art style, this game would be remarkable, or at least great for its genre, because I think it really has the potential.

Kaodi: Un viaje espiritual que se siente con el alma Kaodi es una experiencia introspectiva y sensorial creada por OutlanderGames junto a DojoSystem. Sin palabras, pero con símbolos, arte y música, nos lleva a través del viaje de Barren, un viajero marcado por la guerra que regresa a su tierra. Más que un plataformas, Kaodi es una danza entre ritmo, contemplación y atmósfera. Su apartado visual semiabstracto y su banda sonora tribal y etérea hacen que cada paso resuene en el alma. Si te emocionaron títulos como Journey, Gris u Ori, Kaodi es una joya que no deberías perderte.

A short game with very cool graphics and a nice and very japanese story. Not the typical storyline you find and most games. I couldn't find all the secrets of the game but enjoyed playing it twice. I'll give it another go so I can unlock all achievements :P
Kaodi es una experiencia narrativa de plataformas en 2D con un bello pixel art, una banda sonora emotiva y una jugabilidad muy directa y divertida. Kaodi ofrece una historia corta pero poderosa sobre el peso de la guerra y la esperanza de empezar de nuevo. Si queréis vivir una experiencia única y original os lo recomiendo 100x100
Even for 2 dollars, I expect the game to have a middle and an end to it.
Petit jeu d'action-plateformes narratifs qui cherche à parler des conséquences de la guerre sur un soldat. Le jeu est plutôt joli et donne de bonnes sensations, mais si l'ambiance est bel est bien lourde, l'écriture m'a semblé un peu lourde aussi. Le jeu est court, et se termine sans réelle conclusion, c'est un peu frustrant. Ca reste 1h intéressante à passer et l'aspect esthétique t gameplay est cool.
Wonderful and beautiful narrative game !
La música, el arte, y la historia me gustaron muchiiisimo. Me habría encantado que el juego fuese un poco más largo dado que solo dura 1 horita y ya me estaba encariñando con el environment.
