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. Features - Lore and characters inspired by academic and ethnographic sources on pre-Russian Yakut religion and worldview - Hand-crafted pixel art based on traditional Yakut clothing, jewelry, and symbolism - Original soundtrack inspired by traditional, pre-colonial music of Eastern Siberia - Multiple distinct biomes, inspired by the multiple worlds (heavens and underworlds) of Yakut beliefs - Unique enemies and bosses - Two different endings - 4 puzzle-based skills that unlock new paths and secrets - Deep character progression, including: - New movement abilities - Talisman crafting - Weapons enhancements - Micro-quests woven into exploration - NPCs - humans, gods, and demons drawn from Yakut tradition - A system that allows grinding and “cheesing” for players who seek mastery or relief - Difficulty-based achievements are unique to each chosen playthrough
