Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU News

In another clip from our recent Discord Q+A, Surgent founder and CEO Abubakar Salim got pretty real with ZAU's Lead Designer, Zi Peters, about the fantastically challenging puzzles players will come across as they traverse Kenzera.

"How do you do it, Zi? Do you think of torturous ways to make everyone upset all the time?"

Here's Zi's answer:

If you've yet to experience 'Tales of Kenzera: ZAU' - your adventure is just beginning!

While Steam Next Fest may be wrapping up, the demo will still be available for you to play.

The demo will give you a peek into the early moments of ZAU, offering a taste of its fleet-footed and fast-paced combat and traversal and a first look at the emotional story as it begins to unfold. Defeat marauding enemies like the Roho ya Rungu and Roho ya Mtupaji, and beware the cunning, explosive Tokoloshe. Within the pre-defined demo area, eagle-eyed players will also discover hidden Echoes, which will lend a crucial hint to the full game’s narrative framing.

Your time in Kenzera begins as you, a young warrior-shaman, arrive in the sanctuary Patakatifu and call upon Kalunga, the God of Death, to strike up a very unusual bargain. As you begin the journey to fulfill your end of the deal, you will learn to wield two powerful masks imbued with the cosmic power of the sun and the moon in a beautiful and chaotic dance.
