Press release:
Wiesbaden, Germany 1st October, 2021.
The Germany-based indie games publisher Assemble Entertainment and indie games developer Grimbart Tales today announced with great thrill and delight that they have just released a time-limited PC demo via Steam for their upcoming hand-painted genre-blending action-adventure game “ITORAH” (the demo is a part of Steam Next Fest, and will be available via Steam from October 1st until October 7th).

Inspired by Mesoamerican culture and featuring a distinct, visually captivating art style and setting, ITORAH is a vivid, hand-painted 2D platformer with streamlined metroidvania elements. Players join the titular Itorah as she fights her way through the stunningly realized world of Nahucan in her journey to save her land from a deadly and mysterious plague.

With tight, fluid controls and a heartwarming story of love and sacrifice, ITORAH challenges players with demanding platforming sections that utilize a series of unlockable abilities, as well as putting them through the paces with engaging combat and thrilling boss fights.

Play the demo now as part of Steam Next Fest.

Key features of ITORAH Include:

Hand-Crafted Quality: Explore a beautifully realized world inspired by South and Central American landscapes, each lovingly hand-painted by the development team to breathe life into the world of Nahucan
Fluid Controls: Enjoy a staggering amount of animations that truly bring Itorah and her amazing range of abilities to life in the hands of players
Make Friends Along the Way: As the old saying goes, the “real treasure is the friends made along the way,” and Itorah will need the help of her new allies to help her defeat the great evil threatening the land
Good ol’ Fashioned Platforming: When she isn’t hacking and slashing her way across the landscape, Itorah will need to keep her jumping and dodging skills as sharp as her ax as she conquers progressively more difficult puzzles and platforming sections
Unravel the Mystery: Is Itorah the only human left, and if so, what happened to everyone else? Get to the bottom of the mystery with plenty of exciting twists and turns along the way as the brave young warrior battles her way through lush forests, ancient temples, and more on her quest to save Nahucan!
Challenging Bossfights: Face Nahucan’s voracious fauna and imposing bosses. There’s no moving on until all foes have been vanquished!

ITORAH will launch for Windows PC via Steam later this year. Add the game to your wishlist here.
