Zurich, Switzerland, January 11, 2023 – The open-world action RPG Kandria from Swiss indie game studio Shirakumo Games is now available on Steam.

You can watch the trailer for Kandria here:

In Kandria, you set foot in a huge open world with a total size of more than 2.5 million square meters, which can be explored freely right from the start. However, this post-apocalyptic world also holds numerous dangers. In 250 individually designed rooms, your skills are put to the test in challenging jump’n’run sections. All sorts of threats lurk in the caves and ancient ruins: It’s not just wild animals and renegade robots you have to watch out for. Many humans are also a serious threat in this harsh world. 

In settlements, however, you will meet inhabitants who are simply trying to survive in a hostile world. By helping them with their problems in 50 different quests, not only do you give them hope. You also shed light on the mysteries of the world around you. Or… just do your own thing. The world of Kandria has a lot to offer, both for adventurous explorers and for those who just want to live a quiet life in this strange world. Fishing, for example, is a safe way to recover from the strains of post-apocalyptic day-to-day life. And you never know: you might just catch something of value.
