Tales of Kenzera: Zau, a debut game from Surgent Studios, effectively tells a poignant story about grief through its dual narratives. Players follow Zuberi, who grapples with the loss of his father, while also stepping into the shoes of Zau, a shaman seeking to resurrect his dad. The game expertly intertwines elements of Metroidvania with deep emotional storytelling, showcasing Zau's journey through diverse biomes and encounters that enhance both gameplay and narrative depth. This indie game is set to debut on Game Pass, making it more accessible to players.
Players assume the role of Zau, a Shaman on a perilous quest to bring his father back from the dead. Helping him along the way is the god of the dead, Kalunga, who provides guidance and wisdom.
The game first introduces us to Zuberi, a young man living in the futuristic African city of Amani. When we meet Zuberi, we discover he's just lost his dear father.
