About the game

The ending isn't the belt. It's belonging.

Rambotan is a KŌBŌ black belt who wanted to make a game about what training actually feels like: walking in nervous, getting smashed, slowly making friends, and one day being the person who helps the new white belt tie their belt.

So he's building it. You walk around the academy, train, roll and grow, one belt at a time. It's small for now, and it gets better every week with help from the people who play it.

It's still being built, so now is the best time to shape it. Every note gets read.

Some people in the game are real KŌBŌ teammates, drawn with their OK. Everyone else is made up.
