Nakawak

NAKAWAK is a Metroidvania that pays homage to the original GameBoy, keeping as true to the retro aesthetic as possible and featuring good, oldschool challenge.
The player's success is highly dependent on his or her willingness to learn the lay of the land. The Undercity is big, but not so large that it becomes convoluted.
The Undercity is a sprawling, interconnected, semi-open-world environment teeming with (mostly) hostile lifeforms. NAKAWAK is unique. He has had an awakening of sorts. He has discovered the meaning of "I." He has found a sense of "self."

Alone in a hostile world filled with monstrous beings, NAKAWAK knows his purpose: Defeat the Three Beasts and the Seal will fail, opening the way to the surface and freedom!

Explore! Power Up! Escape!
