A game by Too Kind Studio for PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, originally released episodically in 2016 and 2017.
Pankapu tells the tale of the eponymous Dreamkeeper of Omnia. In the opening cinematic, a girl named Djaha ‘rell has a nightmare and is awakened by her father who offers to read her a story that will help to rid her of her nightmares, setting the tone of the game as a fairytale adventure. In the story, the peaceful dream world of Omnia is invaded by nightmare creatures that corrupt the land. Iketomi, the Hymn of Dreams, uses concentrated “dream matter” to create a guardian to defeat the invaders. This guardian is Pankapu.
The fairytale setting carries over into the game itself with vibrant and colorful locales, mystical oddities, overblown villains, strange creatures, magical combat enhancements, and a fantasy score composed in part by Hiroki Kikuta, composer of such titles as Secret of Mana and its sequel, Seiken Densetsu 3, giving the entire experience a feel of something pulled from the pages of a storybook.
