🐾 KOROKORO: An Audio-Anime Adventure You Can Walk Through 🎧🎮

What happens when you mix a lost dog, an 8-bit metaverse, and legendary voice actors into one pocket-sized adventure?

You get KOROKORO—a 10-episode audio-anime drama that plays out like a cross between a podcast, a retro RPG, and a heartfelt indie film. Created by Bang Zoom! Entertainment (yep, the studio behind Demon Slayer, One-Punch Man, and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), KOROKORO is a completely free, browser-based experience that invites you into a pixelated town full of clues, surprises, and warm fuzzies.

🐶 What's It About?

You step into the story of Takeshi, a young boy searching for his lost dog Koro in the charming (and occasionally surreal) streets of Sumomo City. With each new space you explore—a ramen shop, a café, an alien spacecraft—you unlock short, 30-second audio drama episodes that unfold like a digital treasure hunt.

It's built on Gather.town, turning the experience into a mini metaverse game—complete with quirky environments and a strong “you-are-here” feel. Think old-school point-and-click meets modern storytelling.

The Cast & Crew

This isn’t just a passion project—it’s backed by industry heavy-hitters:

• Directed and written by Eric “Herman” Sherman, CEO of Bang Zoom!

• Featuring Nana Mizuki (Naruto) and Ayumi Ito (Final Fantasy’s Tifa Lockhart)

• Designed in partnership with Sunweaver Creative and animated promo art by Tokyo-based studio D’ART SHTAJIO

At the end of the story, players even receive a free, high-res poster as a thank-you—because, yes, it's that wholesome.
