Players take on the role of Aka, a retired red panda soldier seeking inner peace. His task is to seek out Ghosts to bring them closure while simultaneously settling on a small island and building his home.

Find inner peace in a small, open-world game. On these carefully handcrafted islands, you can take a nap on a giant monster, feed baby dragons, take care of the fauna and flora... ...but demons from your past might come back to remind you what you want to forget.

The player is invited to grow plants, from flowers to vegetables. The farming system is inspired by permaculture, where associations (garden design) and wild animals play a role.

It is possible to craft shelter, tools, clothes, or various props. It can help solve quests or just be for a decorative purpose. You will need to gather materials, find objects or win them while doing quests.

Relaxing in hot springs with monkeys, watching clouds while listening to the ocean waves, or taking a nap on a giant Capybara... These activities are fun but not useless because it increases your "happiness."

Aka isn't a linear game. You can choose when and how you decide to help the NPC (if you choose to help them). However, only then will you be able to explore every corner, learn about your past, and maybe... find inner peace.

NEOWIZ is thrilled to announce that the first-ever PC closed beta testing event for its unique indie title Aka started this week.

Players who applied for CBT testing during registration will receive Steam keys and can play a vertical slice of the game from now until August 23rd.

Thanks to the Steam Playtest feature, everyone will also have an opportunity to try out Aka on August 23rd.

During the CBT event, players can explore Aka’s Pine Island, the largest location in the game. While there, they can find and complete 13 quests in any one in nine supported languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese.

Key Features:

• Exploration and decoration of the islands by crafting and farming.
• A wide array of mini-games; make the sled, marble maze... their number is yet to be defined.
• Peaceful activities such as taking a nap, looking at a cloud, swimming, and more.
• Help the island denizens by interacting with them and helping them solve their problems. 

Aka has been lovingly created and developed by “Cosmic Gatto”, a professional animator who has worked for the illustrious Dreamworks Studio in the past. He is also an award-winning developer for A Trip to the Moon which was voted 1st Rank at Github Game Jam 2020.

Aka is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) in Q4 2022.
