About the Game

Step into a world where ancient mysticism meets cutting-edge science in this groundbreaking FMV adventure from internationally acclaimed game designer Dr. Eray Dinç. Set in the mesmerizing landscapes of Cappadocia, Türkiye's most enigmatic region, this game weaves a tapestry of Anatolian lore, arcane rituals, and futuristic technology. Inspired by the time-honored art of Turkish shadow puppetry, this unique experience fuses 2D platforming with interactive cinema, all set to a haunting score by legendary composer Inon Zur. But what truly sets this game apart is its revolutionary mechanic: your ability to peer into the future.

FOR FANS OF INTERACTIVE CINEMA: GLIMPSE THE FUTURE, SHAPE YOUR DESTINY

Forget everything you know about gameplay. In this world of living, breathing video footage, your psychic abilities are your most powerful tool. Navigate Nazar through a 2D realm where every move is guided by visions of what's to come. Solve meticulously crafted puzzles that challenge your perception of time itself, as you harness the power of astral projection to see seconds into the future.

MASTER THE ZENER CARDS

Unlock your latent psychic potential with the Zener card system. Originally designed in the 1930s to measure ESP, these cards now serve as your gateway to precognition. The stronger your abilities grow, the more clearly your path through this mystical adventure will reveal itself.

A BATTLE ACROSS TIME AND SPACE

You are Nazar, a former fortune-teller turned psychic operative. Recruited by the ancient Misal Initiation, you've dedicated your life to combating those who would abuse the power to see the future. Now, armed with a mix of esoteric knowledge and quantum technology, you must confront the sinister Fatum Order in the heart of Cappadocia.

But beware: your own unresolved past may prove to be your greatest weakness. As you dive deeper into astral realms and face terrifying sleep paralysis, you'll need all your wits - and the help of your gifted assistant, Tela - to unravel the Order’s dark plans.

CAPPADOCIA: WHERE MYTH MEETS REALITY

Immerse yourself in a world where whirling dervishes dance alongside quantum physicists. Explore the breathtaking fairy chimneys and delve into the mysterious depths of Derinkuyu, an ancient underground city. This is Cappadocia, a crossroads of East and West, past and future.

Experience a cinematic journey like no other, where your choices ripple through time. Uncover ancient wisdom, master mystical powers, and harness scientific marvels in your quest to safeguard the future. Are you ready to join Nazar on his first mind-bending adventure?
