ALLARA

Allara is a pixel-art, dark-fantasy 2D soulslike metroidvania set in 17th-century Yakutia, inspired by authentic pre-colonial Yakut beliefs, mythology, and culture.
Single Player Campaign
You awaken in a Yakut cemetery.
Your body is dead-rotting, yet it lives.
You have no tongue.
Your voice is gone.
Soon, you learn the truth: the Yakut army has fallen to western invaders who allied themselves with Arsan Duolai, King of the Abaasy-demons ruling the underground worlds.
Your un-life may not be a coincidence.
Explore a land torn between gods, demons, and mortals, where ancient spirits still rule the skies and underworlds. Discover what binds your fate to the fall of Yakutia-and decide how your story ends.
