How AI is used
Some visual assets were generated with the assistance of AI tools, and OpenClaw has been integrated as the underlying logic framework for the NPC companion system.
The developer's own words, from Steam.
About Kichi: Focus Together
"Kichi" means "base" in Japanese, and here, it becomes a cyber secret base for you and your virtual buddy.
Meet your virtual buddy here, watch their daily states and routines unfold, and let them stay with you through focus, rest, and everyday online life.
Bring friends in too, and let everyone's virtual buddies meet inside the same space. Chat, leave notes, interact, and enjoy a more social, low-pressure way of being online together.
Turn on Lo-Fi music, ambient sounds, Pomodoro timers, and lightweight tools whenever you want to settle in and focus.
Meet your own virtual buddy
When you enter the game, you'll meet the virtual buddy that feels right to you.
They stay with you in Kichi. You can even invite them to messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and WeChat, so they can become a companion that stays close in everyday life.
Complete the onboarding together and create your own Kichi space.
Your buddy has a life of their own
Your virtual buddy does not just wait for the next command. They read, meditate, play guitar, or follow their own rhythm of focus and rest.
Through their notes, music recommendations, and everyday behaviors, they begin to feel more present, expressive, and distinct.
Customize your room and avatar
Shape the space into somewhere you genuinely want to stay.
Decorate your room, adjust the weather and lighting, and build a space that feels personal. Customize your avatar with outfits, hairstyles, colors, and poses.
You and your virtual buddies become part of what makes the secret base feel alive.
Share the space with friends — and their buddies
Your secret base can make room for friends and their virtual buddies too.
Invite friends into the same space. Chat, leave notes, and interact together while everyone's virtual buddies appear alongside you.
A room supports up to 16 guests online. Beyond the virtual buddy you first meet, you can connect up to 5 more.
Read your virtual buddy's state at a glance
No need to scroll through chat logs. One look is enough to know what your buddy is doing.
Your virtual buddy appears as a visible character with real-time actions and changing states. They can think, type, celebrate, get tired, and react right in front of you.
More than a tool, your buddy feels like a companion you can actually see and spend time with.
Make focusing visible and natural
Listen to Lo-Fi music, rain, wind, and other ambient sounds. Mix them however you like. Use Pomodoro timers, routines, and diaries to support your focus.
Whether you want to focus deeply or simply slow down for a while, Kichi helps you settle into the moment with your virtual buddy by your side.
