Our take on Alkurai
The defining detail is its linear cooperative journey through three maze-like locations: the Royal Garden, Dungeon, and Castle, with puzzle progression linking each chapter.
What is Alkurai?
Alkurai is an online fantasy-horror game for one to four players.
The story follows a party responding to a job offer after an alchemist murders the king and takes control of the kingdom. Players travel through the Royal Garden, Dungeon, and Castle while avoiding the alchemist’s creations. Progress follows a linear structure built around intricate puzzles and maze- or dungeon-style maps. The game includes a drinking mechanic and a sanity bar as part of its gameplay systems. Its story and lore are original, and the experience is presented as a cooperative journey through a threatened kingdom. Alkurai is offered in Early Access, with the developer asking players to report bugs through Discord.
