Gameplay

Kiyeko and the Lost Night presents an interactive, narrated story in which the player follows Kiyeko as he discovers that snakes have stolen the night, returns to warn his father and the Shaman, and watches as the Shaman crafts a rattle that the chief trades to the snakes for only a few minutes of darkness before they demand the natives' arrow poison as the true price. The game features the narration of Ben Kingsley, animated Amazon plants and animals that react to clicks, character speech accompanying the text, leaf‑shaped navigation arrows, pauses between narrated sections for exploration, and multilingual support allowing the story to be read and heard in English and several other languages.[1]
