Traviteam Games, a small indie studio with just two developers, recently announced their survival adventure Kalit. It invites you into a hand-drawn universe that feels like a love letter to the golden age of animation with its “rubber hose” style, pulling you into a retro-inspired world, and is set to launch on PC via Steam.
At its heart, Kalit is about surviving in a strange landscape. Hunger and thirst are constant challenges, but they’re just the beginning, with mischievous creatures and unexpected dangers hiding around every corner. To succeed, you’ll dive into crafting tools, weapons, and gear to beat the odds. Whether it’s chopping trees with a googly-eyed axe or growing veggies to fight hunger, gathering resources is key.
The game lets you explore open lands, dive into the sea, or dig through dark mines. A fun addition is crafting makeshift diving masks or mini-submarines to uncover secrets in underwater wrecks, or even building flying machines. You’ll face cartoonish-style enemies, from small to large, reminiscent of old kids’ cartoons, plus gigantic bosses that challenge you to make weapons like guns.
For those who enjoy a slower pace, Kalit offers farming as a way to sustain your adventures. You’ll be able to plant peculiar seeds, nurture animated saplings, and harvest bizarre crops to keep your energy up, while also being able to construct custom bases complete with defense and workbenches. But the fun doesn’t stop there – you can assemble a vehicle.
