A cozy, story-rich adventure about a girl and her growing magical reindeer — rooted in the living mythology of the peoples of the North.
Rest by the fire, heal the land, and grow together — a girl and her reindeer against a North that is losing its light.
You play Kyndykan, a young girl, and her companion Girke — a reindeer who grows from a fragile fawn into a powerful spirit at your side. Together you journey through a Northern world losing its light, healing the land and uncovering a story drawn from Even and Evenki myth. At its heart, it's about the bond between a child and her companion.
Girke evolves from fawn to powerful spirit across the journey — the whole game is built around your bond.
Feed, rest by the campfire, wash and talk to Girke. Its wellbeing shapes its power at your side.
Light melee for Kyndykan, plus Girke's abilities — including a pass: it lobs a magic sphere and you decide where to fire.
Wander snowbound Northern landscapes, travel by boat and mount, and solve gentle puzzles.
Recipes and items carry real Northern traditions — crafting becomes a way to live the culture.
An intimate, emotional coming-of-age told through dialogue, cutscenes and hand-crafted moments.
The world of Kyndykan is built on the mythology of the Even and Evenki peoples — shamanism, spirits, and the fragile balance between people and nature. A creeping corruption drains the light from the land, and it falls to a girl and her reindeer to heal it.
We make this game from inside the culture it depicts — a genuine, respectful window into a heritage almost no game has told.
Wishlist Kyndykan and be there when a girl and her reindeer set out into the North.
An independent studio from Yakutia (Sakha Republic). We're a small, tight-knit team telling stories from our own North — its folklore, its landscapes, its spirit. Kyndykan won the national content competition of the IRI (Institute for Internet Development), which backs the project and recognizes its cultural significance.
