'TOHU' is a new point and click adventure game that was created by independent developer Fireart Games and published by The Irregular Corporation as a part of the Stadia Makers program.
In the game, players act as an imaginative young girl who is joined by Cubus, her mechanical alter-ego. When needed, players can choose to transform into Cubus—allowing them to lift heavy heavy objects and accomplish other strength-based tasks. On their adventures, The Girl and Cubus will encounter a series of beautiful fish planets, where they must solve puzzles to "discover the truth about themselves and the mysterious Sacred Engine that powers their world."
TOHU is available on Microsoft Windows, macOS, and through Google Stadia.
