⚔️ The Legend of Zuntala

A colorful retro-inspired 3D action RPG for 1 to 6 local players.

The Kingdom of Andrian is in danger. An ancient darkness is spreading across the land, corrupting its creatures and threatening four elemental regions.

Choose your hero, gather your companions and set out on an open-world adventure filled with quests, villages, secrets, merchants, magical crystals and multi-phase bosses. Restore the balance of the kingdom and uncover the forgotten legend of Zuntala, the mysterious fairy who watches over the world.

Explore. Fight. Upgrade. Become a legend.

🌍 A world divided by ancient powers

Travel freely through five contrasting areas:

🌳 The Central Kingdom — peaceful villages, forests, travelers and the beginning of your quest.
🏜️ The Eastern Desert — cursed scorpions, shifting sands, pyramids and forgotten ruins.
❄️ The Frozen North — icy paths, Inuit settlements, cursed seals and dangerous snowstorms.
🍄 The Enchanted West — moonseeds, carnivorous plants, magical forests and strange creatures.
🌋 The Volcanic South — lava, fire serpents, ancient castles and powerful enemies.

Liberating a region changes the world: villages celebrate, new inhabitants appear, paths become illuminated, music changes and additional secrets can be discovered.
