Wired Productions just locked in Thai folklore horror with WereBuff Studio’s Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit for a 2027 Steam and Epic launch. The Bangkok indie’s first big push brings a young spirit kid and his zebra buddy sneaking through cursed temples and whispering forests packed with vengeful ghosts straight out of Thai myth. No combat, just hide, distract, and pray your sacred lamp doesn’t give you away while the land tries to eat you alive.

WereBuff managing director Wyn Panichpakdee framed it as exporting authentic Thai horror without the usual Western filter: “We want to share the unique stories, beliefs, and folklore of Thailand in a way that can be experienced by players everywhere.” Wired co-founder Leo Zullo called the game frightening, beautiful, and emotionally heavy, the exact kind of passion project they chase. The game’s been on the radar since its 2025 announcement and even popped up at Thailand’s first Ghost Game Festival this month alongside other local horror titles.

This isn’t another generic ghost story reskin. It’s a 9-person team turning centuries of Southeast Asian mythology into a cinematic stealth-platformer that actually respects the source instead of exoticizing it. Players outside Thailand rarely get this kind of cultural depth in horror without the usual jump-scare factory treatment. If the trailer and gameplay clips hold up, 2027 could finally put Thai ghost stories on the global map instead of leaving them as festival curiosities.
