Description

Can a hero in-game rise in real life? The harsh realities of middle school meet the endless possibilities of an online fantasy world. Nole, an awkward eighth-grade introvert, escapes into the realm of Enix, where he reinvents himself. While facing the daily struggles of adolescence—bullies, unrequited crushes, and self-doubt—Nole finds solace in a digital universe where he can be anything he dreams of. But will his newfound confidence in-game translate to real life?

Kianola is a tale of friendship, self-discovery, and imagination that captures growing up in both reality and the virtual world.
