Shaping Souls: The Afro-Gothic Adventure of Project Uso in the Tales of Kenzera Universe
In the gaming world, new concepts continue to emerge, blending various genres and styles to engage players in fresh experiences. A project currently under development is set to combine elements of mythology and innovative gameplay within a unique setting.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau may touch upon themes such as mortality and sorrow, but it doesn't restrict itself to a solely somber atmosphere. The universe created by Surgent Studios, while sometimes demonstrating a daring edge, is also set to delve into deeper and more intense themes with its upcoming Project Uso.
According to insights from Surgent Studios, Project Uso presents itself as a single-player, isometric adventure that intertwines Afro-Gothic influences with action RPG mechanics. The game is rooted within the Tales of Kenzera universe, characterized by a darker, more intense narrative experience. In Zau, the role of a shaman involves confronting the God of Death to portray the notion of processing grief. However, the new project challenges the concept further by exploring a scenario where a character, inspired by the desire to overcome death, constructs an android meant to cradle lost souls.
In this intriguing adventure, players will confront Eshu, the God of Chaos, taking on a perspective similar to that found in classic titles like Baldur's Gate III or Planescape: Torment. The gameplay features a distinctive isometric view infused with an Afro-Gothic aesthetic, enhancing the immersive experience.
As enthusiastic players of Dungeons & Dragons, the creative team at Surgent aimed to design their own RPG system that captures a dynamic and immediate feel. This ambition led to the development of the Crucible system, which guides players to engage in real-time gameplay by rolling against their own outcomes.
Currently, there is no specified launch date for Project Uso, as the studio continues to seek the necessary funding to make this ambitious vision a reality.
