Zinkara
Steam"Zinkara" is a game created by a four-person team of passionate developers – a tribute to classic RPGs, told in the language of a new catastrophe.
Welcome to a world that won’t save you.
But maybe… you can still save it.
In the silence of the snow-covered Gorungdal peaks, an alien vessel descended.
For days it just sat there – silent, motionless, wrapped in an invisible barrier.
And then… it launched the black spheres.
They fell across Lokaria – into forests, mountains, ruins, and cities – carrying with them a plague of parasitic spiders.
These creatures didn’t just kill – they took over.
Animals. Monsters. People.
The world buckled under the weight of its own corrupted inhabitants.
The wizard Orrinor released six ravens – each one carrying an enchanted scroll of teleportation.
Each was meant for a hero who might still change the fate of the world.
Only one bird reached its mark.
You grabbed the scroll.
You were pulled before Orrinor.
You will journey forth to destroy the eggs and slay Zinkara – the queen of the swarm who feeds on worlds like you do on bread.
There will be no second chance.
There will be no second you.

Six classes. One goal: survive
Choose one of six unique classes – all fighting from a distance, each with a different weapon: sword, axe, bow, dagger, sling, or magic wand.
These aren’t heroes born to save the world – it’s just you, your weapon, and what you learn along the way.
Every class has three unique skills you develop as you play. Mastering them could mean the difference between victory… and just postponing your death.
Six diverse regions – and one hell at the end
Lokaria is more than ruins. You’ll explore the elven forest, halfling swamps, orcish desert, dwarven mountain mines, volcanic barbarian lands, and the last human strongholds.
Each zone has its own threats – treacherous terrain, twisted creatures, and mutated beasts.
At the end of the journey lies the alien vessel – the nest of Zinkara and the source of everything that has corrupted the world.
The parasites twisted even the purest beings into monsters – yes, even unicorns.
With every step, you move closer to answers. And to death.
Quests, stories, and a world that speaks
In Zinkara, you’ll meet hundreds of NPCs – some will send you on quests, others will trade, whisper secrets, or simply survive. Dialogues are rich, atmospheric, and written to build the world – not just explain it.
Complete missions, upgrade your gear, and deal with those who haven’t given up yet.
Every good deed may earn you a reward – gold, gear… or a life spared.
This isn’t a world waiting for your choices. It’s a world where you must find your place in the story.

Two faces of the same disaster
Enjoy blood, fear, and ash? Play in dark fantasy mode – mutated horrors, hellish visions, and the scent of doom.
Need a break from existential dread? Switch to cute mode – a pastel world, pink armor, heart-shaped explosions… and defeated enemies bleeding flowers.
Switch the visual style anytime – the story stays the same. The tone? Depends on your sugar intake.
With tactics, not button-mashing
Every enemy is a challenge.
Every mistake — a punishment.
This isn’t a slasher. This is a dance of death — and sometimes, you’re the music.
Your class abilities are crucial, but so is what’s in your bag — boosting potions, spell scrolls, and a well-prepared kit. Combat isn’t just reflexes. It’s the decision before you draw your weapon.
