Chibi – Space Truck’in Game Requires Physical Products to Play Through AR

Chibi is a game about a child who needs money and finds a job of an intergalactic transporter at a garage. In this job, there’s a mechanic who directs the child to transport loads to different planets using spacecrafts and while doing that, he brings back some space creatures that invade the garage and slows down the tasks. He finds them and gets back on missions eventually earning money to create his own fantasy land, spacecrafts and travel to space. The game is a special combination of “minecraft” and pokemon Go that teaches various important lessons of life to a kid.

One needs to buy a physical Chibi toy to introduce it in the game through AR and then gather points while playing the game. As much as you take the game outside the points level up and new episodes unlock.

Subinay Malhotra, the designer, has come up with scenario for the game, you can read it below.
