Katana ZERO

Katana ZERO is a dynamic fantasy action platformer made in pixel graphics. The plot takes place in a dystopian city, where the main character named Zero lives in the third quarter. Time is a key resource: slowing down and foresight allows you to plan every step forward. However, make a mistake and the level starts over again, so memorizing episodes becomes the norm. The hero was seriously wounded in the war, and after that his life changed. Now he works as a mercenary and carries out orders, while dealing with his own past and strange memory lapses. Between fights there are conversations with a psychiatrist and acquaintances, from which a picture of the hero’s life emerges. Some scenes are built on dialogues and choice of lines. The peculiarity of the battle is time: Zero is able to slow down what is happening and predict other people’s actions. Thanks to this, shootouts turn into short, rehearsed episodes, where each death is instantly rolled back. Visually, the game looks like a neon dream with bright flashes and changing plans, where each room is remembered by color. Synthwave-inspired music maintains the tempo and adds atmosphere. The levels are short but require precision and patience, while the music and visual style set the pace.
