BOKURA, a two-player puzzle adventure game, is heading to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on 18 April 2025. Kodansha, the publisher, and Tokoronyori, the developer, made the announcement recently. The game will be available via the PlayStation Store.
Previously, BOKURA launched in Early Access for PC through Steam on 14 February 2023. It later saw a full release on 10 August 2023 for Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, and Android.
What is BOKURA?
BOKURA is a unique two-player-only puzzle adventure game. It requires two devices, with each player experiencing the game differently. For instance, while one player might see a character as a friendly animal, the other might see it as a robot. These differing perceptions mean objects and puzzles behave differently for each player.
To progress, players need to share what they see and work together to solve puzzles. Whether you’re sitting side by side or playing online while chatting, teamwork is key.
The game also features side-scrolling gameplay, critical choices, and multiple story outcomes based on the decisions players make.
