Kiro'o Games is a pioneering video game creation studio based in Yaounde, Cameroon, and the first of its kind in Central Africa. With a team of 20 talented young Africans, the company is dedicated to building an exceptional digital African catalog comprising video games, comics, animations, and illustrations. In 2016, Kiro'o released its debut Action-RPG game, "Aurion: legacy of the Kori-Odan," which received acclaim both locally and internationally for its innovative gameplay and storyline. The game is available for purchase in the USA and other countries via Steam and in Cameroon through various online stores and supermarkets such as Jumia and Casino.
In addition to its gaming ventures, Kiro'o Games has extended its reach by launching an online mentoring program for entrepreneurs and project holders, with approximately 1000 youths currently registered on the platform. Moreover, the company has diversified its offerings by introducing black & white comic versions of its games, with colored versions set for release by November 2018.
Further broadening its scope, Kiro'o produces animated videos for advertisement and presentation purposes, catering to both individuals and organizations seeking effective ways to communicate their ideas. The company's commitment to innovation is evident through the creation of a video animation series, "every good thing in Cameroon," aimed at instigating a positive shift in the country's mindset and fostering nation-building.
This ambitious venture has attracted significant attention, as exemplified by the pilot video's 22,000 views and more than 2000 comments on Facebook and Twitter. Kiro'o Games stands out for its determination to surmount challenges and create world-class products using Africa's local resources. The company's vision is to build one of Africa's most substantial digital catalogs, targeting a user base of at least 18 million users in Africa by 2025.
The company received a $640.00K Equity Crowdfunding investment on 22 March 2019, signifying continued confidence in their innovative approach and product offerings. With a strong foundation and a clear focus, Kiro'o Games is poised for further growth and impact within the gaming and digital content industry.
