This is something we’ve been quietly working on alongside the game - a small way to hold onto its world a little longer.
The Art of inKONBINI is a 30-page collection that brings together early ideas and finished illustrations. It’s not a strict behind-the-scenes book, but something warmer and more personal - a gentle archive of the process, the atmosphere, and the little details.
You’ll meet Makoto and the unexpected customers of Honki Ponki, explore the carefully crafted product packaging, dive into the surprisingly deep world of Yojoki Masters, and discover the many tiny thoughtful objects that bring the store to life.
Honki Ponki didn’t start out looking like it does now. In the book you’ll find early sketches and experiments as we worked to give the store its own quiet soul - right down to the train that gently passes by. More than anything, this book is about noticing the soft, ordinary moments - the ones that are easy to miss, but hard to forget.
The artbook will be available for purchase on Steam very soon. We’d really love for you to take your time with it and enjoy this small glimpse into our world.
Thank you, as always, for being here ❤️
