Emmy-nominated 88 Games has announced its debut title, Kapih, an action platformer that reimagines Indian folklore with fast-paced gameplay and a distinct hand-drawn art style. Inspired by the Ramayana, Kapih follows the journey of a young Vaanar whose village is destroyed, setting him on an epic adventure intertwined with history’s legendary events.
