[I.D.: A gifset containing four gifs of the upcoming game Hiboka.

Gif 1 shows one of the player characters, Alexandre Leblanc, standing in front of a door in a hallway. His path is blocked by three Kinoly, evil spirits from Malagasy mythology who resemble humans but have long fingernails and ghoulish physical traits.

Gif 2 shows Alexandre completing a puzzle. He pushes a lever down, and a cutscene siwtches to a large wooden door being lowered.

Gif 3 shows Alexandre in a dimly list passage. His path is blocked by many Kinoly, so he turns down another corridor and enters another room that shows more Kinoly beneath a raised pathway.

Gif 4 shows two scenes. One follows Alexandre as he enters a room and walks past the other player character, Ramala Fifaliana, as another woman sits in a chair nearby. The scene transitions to Alexandre walking down a passage towards a room with a cage hanging from a chain.
