Konsairi

Konsairi is a platforming adventure and dungeon crawler about Ruth, who is trying to find her way home through a vast world. After an attack by a virus leaves her lost, she wakes to the “KONPSI” and uses its power to set out on a journey that also helps the island’s inhabitants, whose energy has faded as disease spreads.

Ruth’s journey

Ruth explores 15 areas and 7 dungeons, outwits virus monsters and wakes the dormant inhabitants she meets. Helping them opens new areas and restores critical energy; in return, they help her progress. The story also follows Halma, who uses the power of INARI and the art of rice fertility to trade special MEDICINE with neighbors. Halma tried to make Ruth his successor as INARI, but she was too young to take on the responsibility and returned to her old home to distract herself.

Root vegetables

You find root vegetables marked by glowing spots on the map, yank them from the ground and add them to your inventory. You can eat them to replenish energy, throw them at viruses blocking your path, or use them to cook up skills. You can also sow seeds and use collected items to emit skills.

• BEETs: wake up NPCs or increase vitality.
• GARLIC: grants short-term invincibility.
• POTATOs: help you reach otherwise inaccessible areas.
• PARSNIP: makes you move faster and lets you control the direction of the wind.

Dungeon exploration

You enter the dungeons about halfway through the game. To find an exit from each area, you uncover clues and learn from inhabitants how to arrange bells in a particular order. Timing matters, and parts of the map are hidden until you reveal them as you play. Learning the maps, mastering the vegetables and helping NPCs are central to making progress.
