The latest game “MIDORI” has been released from the game studio Topicbird exhibited at the 2018 BitSummit!（Please see this article for “SHI • RO”）

This is Midori

Midori, sequel to the award-winning puzzle game SHI•RO, tells the wondrous story of priest Yoshida. Together, you leave home and bring back hope to the people of Kyoto. Travel through dark forests to invite the ancient gods, the Kami-sama, to Yoshida’s shrine. Solve challenging, handmade puzzles by placing emptiness in between maple trees to bring in the Kami-sama. Animal messengers of the gods will cross your way and offer their help. Learn Japanese words from them and whisper with the wind.

Midori is a completely new game set in the same universe as SHI•RO: A new story, new puzzle mechanics and a beautiful forest inspired by the craft of Japanese lacquerware. You play on a green lacquer box with fine details such as rocks, maple trees and spirits. Tilt your device to enjoy how reflective metal colors bring forth ancient stories.

Midori is available on the Apple App Store. It was released in April 2022.
