The project​

 

Years after the world has forever changed, armed men attack a peaceful village deeply connected to nature. The village’s protector, a young woman named Nahua, rises to defend it. With the unique ability to transform into a cheetah at will, Nahua uses her powers to fight back. After the initial confrontation, she must leave her village to assist another far to the north, embarking on a journey to confront a growing threat to her people.

​

Nahua is a Zelda-like game that combines exploration and combat in a futuristic post-apocalyptic world inspired by Horizon: Zero Dawn. Players take on the role of Nahua, mastering her three unique forms to progress through the game.

​

In her human form, Nahua excels in ranged combat with throwing knives. As a cheetah, she becomes highly agile, capable of leaping and sprinting to access new areas and traverse the environment in unique ways.

​

Later, Nahua unlocks the ability to transform into a massive dinosaur, allowing her to break fragile surfaces and unleash devastating area damage, perfect for intense combat scenarios.

​

These three forms encourage players to revisit previously explored areas, leveraging new abilities to uncover hidden paths and unravel deeper layers of the world’s story.
