I’ve played @arkanyagames.bsky.social where you explore the jungles of Amazonia as Marisa together with her cute capybara companion Kapi 🐹 It's a treasure-hunting adventure inspired by classic 2D Zelda games! Many thanks for the game 😊💗 Vid below 👇

The Girl from Arkanya is great so far. It's cute, charming, and well written; it pays reverence to it's source material without feeling derivative, the pixel art is fantastic. And the music is incredible.

Kickstarter games are hit or miss, but @arkanyagames.bsky.social knocked it out of the park.

My most anticipated indie game this year! Played the demo, and it is such a great 2D Zelda-like. It was so charming and humorous.

What a cool action-adventure game that feels like the old-school 2D adventure games from the 90s! It is an addictive game with a great story. Completion takes around 20h, and it has no missable achievements

Apparently many, if not most, of the Press keys we sent out last week went straight to people's spam folders. If you applied for a key, please check! And please help spread the word 🙏🙏🙏
