“Kun’tewiktuk: A Mi’kmaw Adventure” is an upcoming fantasy adventure video game inspired by Mi’kmaw legends and folklore. It takes place in Unama’ki (“Land of the Fog”), which is known today as Cape Breton Island, Canada.

The game will chronicle the adventures of two young siblings Wasuek (Mi’kmaw for “Flower”) and her brother U’n (Mi’kmaw for “Fog”). The siblings get separated one summer morning and they go on an adventure through the spirit world to reunite.

Kun’tewiktuk (pronounced “gon-dew-ik-duk”) is the Mi’kmaw word for “the place of the rock.” The Mi’kmaq (pronounced “meeg-ah-mah”) are indigenous peoples who are among the original inhabitants in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. Oral history and archeological evidence place the Mi’kmaq in the region for more than 10,000 years.

The game is designed to be a magical journey filled with mythical characters and features narrative segments presented in Mi’kmaw.

The game’s genre is best described as a fantasy adventure. It’s played in third-person perspective, and the player has access to a menu system that allows them to assign and switch weapons and abilities at important moments when they are needed.

Players get to experience the adventure through two unique player perspectives that alternate between quests. Players will collect special abilities drawn from Mother Earth as they complete objectives.
