9 itemsAbout the Game
Hanno: A Magical Tale is a visually captivating action-adventure of story-driven exploration, light puzzles, and combat where a boy and an elephant fight as one.
Set in the fictional world of Ashar, you are Vimal, an orphaned teenager from a small village who stumbles upon Hanno – an unusual baby elephant – alone and wounded in the forest. Together, you must uncover the mystery behind him, while surviving creatures that hunt you.
Who takes care of whom?
Hanno's magic flows through Vimal. Use it to lift the world around you - to open a path, or to hurl it at your enemies. Dodge and strike from a distance.
And sometimes, you are Hanno.
You protect him. He protects you. It is never clear who is looking after whom.
Ashar
Explore the lush tropical regions, ancient forests and sacred temples of Ashar, filled with secrets and collectibles. A world of our own, inspired by South and Southeast Asia, and by the island we come from: its forests, its levadas.
Something is moving through this world, and it is not kind.
The Boy and the Elephant
Immerse yourself in a heartfelt tale of growth, courage and discovery - one that will stay with you long after it ends.
