BOKURA: planet, the collaborative two-player planetary journey and sequel to BOKURA which has more than 900,000 downloads, takes two giant steps for mankind today on PC via Steam.
Alongside a partner, lead one of two condemned prisoners to freedom after crash-landing on a dangerous red planet. Be wary: secrets lay hidden between the duo, and each one has their own motivation to return to Earth. Give each other a little push in the right direction through environmental puzzles, and communicate via voice chat to scheme an escape plan…all while watching your back.
Two inmates sentenced to death row trade their life sentences for a literal journey of a lifetime: lending their remaining years to investigating faraway planets. The mission takes a catastrophic turn when their ship crashlands on an unknown planet and they encounter a mysterious creature, shifting their realities in an instant.
Can the pair hatch an escape plan and return to Earth in one piece? While both astronauts occupy the same space, each can only interact with certain artifacts around them. Use voice chat to communicate each player’s discrete surroundings. Split up to solve individual pieces of team-based puzzles, and call out mysterious markings to clue in on the path forward. Wait a minute…why is the other convict acting so suspiciously?
Is escaping together the only goal? While the original BOKURA put communication and teamwork to the test, BOKURA: planet throws a monkeywrench into the duo’s escape plans by giving each felon their own agenda, which must be hidden from the other at all costs.
Successfully escaping the strange planet requires both cooperation and subterfuge. Experience the tension of deception and questionable behaviors as both players aim to accomplish secret objectives. Watch your back as the new “push” action allows players to shove each other off cliffs and into deadly electric barriers.
To celebrate launch, Koji Kumeta, creator of the manga series “Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei,” has created new key art for the game. The illustration echoes BOKURA: planet’s themes:, each character hides something from the other, yet they’re connected by a single drawn line wrapping all the way around the planet.
BOKURA: planet takes off on PC via Steam today for $5.49 with a special 10% sale until Monday, May 5th, 2025. Language support options include English, Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Korean, French, Italian, German, and Spanish (Spain).
