the girl from arkanya

An indie studio in Peru is currently hard at work on The Girl From Arkanya, a retro-styled 16-bit adventure for consoles and PC. The crowdfunding campaign for the game launched this week and has already earned almost twice what it asked for. And when you check it out, you’ll see why. There are a lot of Zelda clones out there, but how many will give you a giant rodent that you can control? Yes, in lieu of a fairy, protagonist Marisa has Kapi, her capaybara traveling companion. The capybara is always with you and you can take control of him at any time to push heavy objects….Marisa can also pick up and throw Kapi, and there are times when she’ll need to. Rather than a fantasy world, The Girl From Arkanya picked a period of world history in a location you don’t see very often. Scroll down on the page and you can read the full backstory of the game’s world and characters. It’s quite detailed. Gorgeous retro pixel art
