About the Game


"Nakara" is a first-person arcade game where you explore Labyrinths in various themes and collect Magic Rings. Inside the endless Labyrinths, collecting all the Magic Rings is the only way out.

Rush through, evade the monsters in pursuit, and finally, confront the ultimate foe—Nakara.



Story
Humans and monsters once lived in peace. But under Nakara’s dark influence, the monsters, consumed by twisted desires, began abducting humans into the Labyrinth. To uncover the truth, the goddess sent a new hero, Ernest. Yet in his first encounter with Nakara, he was defeated and had his power taken away. Trapped within the endless Labyrinth, Ernest joins forces with Victor, a mage, and begins his desperate journey to escape.



Features

Explore 8 uniquely themed stages and collect Magic Rings.

Evade the pursuing monsters, or turn the tide with the Magic Sword and Ring Grab.

Upgrade your character with Random Buffs spawned at each stage.

Challenge Nakara in a fateful showdown at the end of the Labyrinth.
