'Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit' Publishing Picked Up By Wired Productions, Scheduled For 2027, Playable At Gamescom - Trailer

Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit is a horror adventure game that blends chilling Southeast Asian mythology with beautifully designed levels to create a dynamic adventure.

Ghost stories you once heard now breathe in the dark.

Every spirit has a story - now you’re part of it.  They mourn, they hunger, they hunt.

And now…they’re waiting for you.

Set in a twisted version of Thailand from 50 years ago, Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit follows the story of a lost spirit child, Kumarn, on a surreal journey to find his way to a new home. Kidnapped by dark forces and separated from his loyal zebra companion, Kumarn must explore twisted renditions of Thai landmarks and outwit terrifying spirits pulled from age-old myths — including Mae Nak, the Krasue, and Phi Ta Khon.

Created on Unreal Engine, Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit invites players to explore eerie environments, crafted based on famous attractions in Thailand, all done with a dash of horror and spooky atmosphere be it through the visual stylings or the audio design.

Use stealth and environmental puzzle-solving to outsmart the deadly spirits that haunt your path.  Every step is a test of timing, precision, and courage to escape.


Wired Productions heads to Gamescom with a new name joining its line-up, as today it announces a worldwide publishing partnership with Thailand-based WereBuff Studio for its debut title Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit, a cinematic horror adventure steeped in Thai folklore, coming to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2027.

Wired Productions’ focus on championing distinctive voices across horror, dark narratives and unsettling cinematic visuals continues with Kumarn, as this authentic Thai game matches ancient folklore with malevolent forces, and a vulnerable spirit child you will find hard not to care for. Blending stealth, environmental puzzles and tense platforming, Kumarn is created for fans of the genre popularised by Little Nightmares and Reanimal, but with a more sinister edge.

Players won’t have long to wait to experience it... Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit will be playable at Gamescom 2026, with both Wired Productions and WereBuff Studio heading to Cologne. Players can experience the game first-hand at the Indie Arena Booth. 

“With Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit, our goal has always been to introduce Thai horror to the world. We want to share the unique stories, beliefs, and folklore of Thailand in a way that can be experienced by players everywhere. We’re thrilled to have Wired Productions as a partner who believes in both the game and our creative direction, and we look forward to bringing Thai horror to a global audience together” said Wyn Panichpakdee, Managing Director at WereBuff Studio.

“WereBuff have created something authentically Thai: frightening, beautiful and driven by a story with real emotional weight. They are a passionate team with huge ambition, and these are exactly the kind of partnerships we live and fight for,” said Leo Zullo, Co-founder and Managing Director at Wired Productions.
