10 itemsAbout the Game
Heart of the Urals is a narrative-driven pixel-art rhythm RPG in the spirit of Undertale, based on the ancient epic Ural-Batyr and Bashkir myths. It is a deep story filled with difficult choices and unexpected twists.
Charming and charismatic characters.
Encounter unique spirits and deities of Bashkir mythology across real and mythical locations. Help them overcome their personal traumas... or consume them to grow stronger.
The combat system — an unconventional rhythm game.
Fight not with your fists, but with the strength of your spirit. Deflect rhythm attacks with precise timing, build your own unique setup by combining artifacts and ancestral marks.
Everyone remembers.
Every character — even every object — remembers what you did in your previous playthrough! The world lives within a twisted three-act structure, but even beyond it... there is something more.
A wealth of humor and drama.
You'll have to figure out how a snake should properly wear pants, which pie shape is the tastiest, and also how to defeat an infinitely powerful demon capable of plunging the world into chaos.
A soundtrack in the best traditions of the genre.
Music that embodies Bashkir traditions alongside a modern gaming sound — it will earn a lasting place in your everyday playlist.
