About

koROBO is an action adventure game that follows the story of a pint-sized robot named “koROBO” and his owner, Tom, a young boy who receives koROBO as a gift from his father on his 10th birthday. Players step into the tiny but mighty shoes of koROBO, embarking on a thrilling and heartfelt journey that starts in Tom’s room and unfolds into a world-changing adventure.

Story Sometimes it takes the smallest hero to fulfill the greatest destiny!

Somewhere in the borough of Brocklyn, nestled within the urban jungle of New York City, Tom and his mother are celebrating his 10th birthday. When a wrapped present arrives from his estranged father, Tom rips through it, excited to see what’s inside.

What he finds is not the coolest and latest in tiny household robo tech, but some knockoff model. “koROBO?”

But before long, koROBO is cleaning the home, helping Tom with his homework, and even playing games and reading comics with him like a brother. What will koROBO’s arrival have in store for Tom, his family and perhaps, the world?

koROBO’s story unfolds inside Tom’s family apartment in Brocklyn, New York. Players take on the role of the pint-sized hero. As koROBO, they will help out the family, perform tasks around the home, meet the many denizens that inhabit the apartment building, and defend Tom and those he loves from a mysterious enemy… that can travel through space-time?

Gameplay Tiny Hero, Big Adventure koROBO’s core gameplay involves traversing around the family’s home, cleaning up messes, and solving problems wherever they can be found–a big ask for such a tiny hero!
