Nukuna Interactive and Ivy Juice today launched a free demo for Jo & Rubi: A Cozy Expedition on Steam. The demo lets players explore the game’s full first chapter ahead of the full PC release.
Already well received on iOS and Android, Jo & Rubi is a short, low-stress archaeology story following a curious kid and their loyal robin sidekick through handcrafted mini-games designed to feel good rather than test your reflexes. The game was developed in collaboration with an archaeologist and a media pedagogue.
