Young shaman Zau strikes a deadly bargain with Kalunga, the God of Death—defeat three mighty spirits, and his father will return from the darkness. Master the dance between sun and moon masks as you unleash fiery spears in close combat or crystallize time itself with lunar magic. Journey through the breathtaking, mythological lands of Kenzera where every colorful vista and haunting melody echoes the universal struggle of grief and hope.

From Abubakar Salim’s Surgent Studios comes Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, a game with a powerful narrative and emotional depth, and Side was proud to contribute to that experience. Our audio team oversaw casting, recording, direction, and post-production for the Kimvita Swahili version, being the first game ever to have a fully voiced Swahili audio version.
