We are thrilled to announce that Ninja Kiwi will be publishing the visually stunning and narratively poignant platformer, Rose and Locket, developed by Whistling Wizard. You are Rose, a former outlaw gunslinger whose daughter's soul has been imprisoned in a locket by Envy, one of the Seven Deadly Sins. To free her daughter, Rose must do his bidding. True to his name, Envy wants the power of the other Deadly Sins for himself. Guide Rose as she ventures into the Underwest, the underworld of the wild west. Hunt down Pride, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth. Collect their bounties for your new master. Traverse this dark yet vibrant underworld. Test your acrobatic gunslinging skills in dynamic boss battles featuring high-energy 360° shooting galleries. Discover the mysteries of Rose’s past as she once again relies on her trusty six-shooter.
But be warned, not everything is what it seems. Delivered in a bold, handcrafted, cinematic art-driven style with full voice acting and narration, Rose and Locket blurs the line between graphic novel and game experience.

Whistling Wizard is an indie team dedicated to crafting immersive, story-driven games that blend graphic novel aesthetics with action-adventure gameplay to create unforgettable experiences.
This will be the second game Ninja Kiwi is publishing; however, we remain extremely dedicated to our internal projects! We will always be a game development studio, first and foremost, but we are incredibly grateful to be in a position to support, uplift, and help passionate devs get their own projects out the door. A lot of that is thanks to our amazing community (Yes, you!), who help support us so we can do more for indie and New Zealand game developers. We couldn’t do it without you!
Nope! Much like our publishing for Denari, our team will offer support for game testing, feedback, and community engagement.
Ninja Kiwi socials will be sharing Rose and Locket content, providing the community with updates, and helping to bring another stunning indie game created in New Zealand to a worldwide audience! Go Wishlist the game over on Steam and make sure to follow both Ninja Kiwi and Whistling Wizard on social media. See you soon!
