Warsaw / Detroit - September 10th, 2024 - Well-established publisher of exclusively meaningful and arthouse games Nakana.io releases its 11th and latest Nintendo Switch title on September 27th. Ahro is a side-scrolling adventure and explorative journey created in Detroit by Oeh Interactive (Joel Vile).
A MEANINGFUL AND LORE-RICH STORY ADVENTURE
The story begins when Ahro starts experiencing frequent and distressing breakdowns. After finding only mild relief from herbal medicine, he sets out in search of a legendary miracle cure. As events unfold, the mysteries will both deepen and come into focus.
This transcendent and atmospheric side-scrolling adventure takes place in a fictional world full of history and deep lore. Themes addressed aim to be contemporary, relatable, and provide space for reflection and interpretation.
A JOURNEY OF SEARCH & DISCOVERY / WALKING & FLYING / BODY & SPIRIT
As they explore his intriguing world, players will need to release Ahro’s spirit to travel into the sky and uncover new items, places, and secrets.
The players will be challenged to figure out how to access out-of-reach areas and make their way forward, while being rewarded for their curiosity as they traverse the landscapes.
BASED ON THE DEVELOPER’S EXPERIENCE WITH ANXIETY
"Ahro is an experience about anxiety, working through your past, and coming to terms with it all. The game was born out of my personal struggle with panic disorder. I wanted to place the focus on an ordinary character dealing with his own issues and then place the wars and world changing events in the background (like it is for most of us). Ahro is not a warrior or a superhero, he’s not saving the world. He’s an average person who’s experienced personal trauma and loss. Ahro is me and you." - Joel Vile, founder of Oeh Interactive
STYLISH AND NEARLY WORDLESS PRESENTATION
With a stylish visual and audio atmosphere, no violence and just a few words, Ahro tells its story in a unique yet universal way.
