Kazu Aether Origins
SteamIn Kazu Aether Origins, the player follows the journey of Kazu, the Finnish Spitz, in a hack/slash adventure on the Isles of Isvenness.
The journey begins with Kazu, the Finnish Spitz, as he navigates through the Isles of Isvenness unraveling the mysteries of the world. While traversing the region, you will encounter many combat challenges and satirical elements.

The biomes of Isvenness are intricately drawn based on the over-arching themes of the respective regions. While traversing the regions, you will encounter uniquely designed environmental and building art.

An Aetheric Cataclysm has thrown the inhabitants into disarray. The world is now brimming with unstable Aether which has enhanced creatures with uncontrollable powers and a loss of self control. Kazu has an innate ability to absorb expelled Aether which enables him to utilize the powers for short periods of time.

You will be challenged in varying degrees of boss designs employing reactionary timing and mastery of combat mechanics. On the Isles of Isvenness, the Aethers correspond to sins of corruption.

The world is designed with open-exploration providing a non-linear gameplay experience. Progress through the region at your own pace as you search for the sources of corruption.
