Selected Articles
- "for those looking for a game with a calming world and a lore rich story, this is the title for you."
- Kyle Blooicide, 3Bit - "There’s plenty of room for this sort of game, especially where the focus is exploration and solving puzzles."
- Anon, Vulgar Knight - "This is a solemn piece, and its journey will stay with players for a while despite only being a Prologue."
- Joshua Goodpastor, HappyGamer - "Just from the premise alone, Path of Kami is charged with overwhelmingly emotional themes - and if the title or aesthetics didn’t hint to the game's atmosphere, Kami is inspired by traditional Japanese folktales (namely Issun-Bōshi & Momotarō)."
- Danielle Winter, GameGrin
