January 7, 2026 - 22:49

Yoshiro Kimura, the creative mind behind Moon: Remix RPG Adventure and the newly released Stray Children, has shared insights into his artistic inspirations and the unique path that led him to create games that resonate with players on a deeper level. In a recent conversation, Kimura discussed how his earlier work influenced the development of Stray Children, a game that draws inspiration from the beloved indie hit, Undertale.

Kimura emphasized the importance of embracing the "oddball" nature of his games, which often challenge conventional storytelling and gameplay mechanics. He believes that these unconventional approaches allow players to engage with the narrative in a more meaningful way. Stray Children, much like Undertale, invites players to explore themes of empathy and connection, encouraging them to reflect on their choices throughout the game.

As an artist, Kimura finds joy in creating experiences that defy expectations and provoke thought. His dedication to crafting unique gaming experiences continues to inspire a new generation of developers and players alike.
