Kene Benai is an adventure inspired by the worldview of the Shipibo-Konibo people. You accompany Reshin, a young girl who begins the Waste Kene (Pipiri) ritual to enter the spirit world and recover the four Kené she needs to complete her weaving and become a great artisan.
You’ll explore four spiritual worlds, each with its own guardian, visual style, and unique challenges. The game blends 2D platforming, runner-style levels, guardian spirit battles, and memory and collection minigames. Along the journey, you’ll hear authentic voices in the Shipibo language and unlock a Word Album with terms, symbols, and creatures from the Shipibo-Konibo universe.
