Gagex is pleased to announce that the cinematic Japanese adventure The Kids We Were, is coming to Steam next week.
The game takes you through a nostalgic adventure set in the late Showa era (80s) in Japan. You’ll take on the role of Minato, a young boy who sets out on an unexpected summer adventure.
The Kids We Were is an exceptionally charming adventure game with a beautifully told, heartfelt narrative, incredible writing, and a delightful soundtrack. The voxel aesthetic perfectly combines the old and the new and showcases the beauty of Japan from a fresh perspective. You can check out our full review on the Nintendo Switch here.
