The official description presents KYORA as a sandbox adventure for one to eight players. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, co-op, and online co-op, so the current public commitment covers both solo worlds and online groups.
Shared-world technology
A development blog explains that multiplayer clients generate most of the procedural world locally while the game sends essential changes, including player-made terrain edits. Those changes are compressed to keep large mutable worlds synchronized.
Why terrain synchronization matters
KYORA's world can be changed at individual-pixel scale, so a multiplayer session must preserve far more than player positions. Pugstorm's first development blog describes sending essential edits while each client generates most of the base world locally, reducing the amount of mutable terrain data that has to cross the network.
