Iz

Iz is an atmospheric 2D pixel-art adventure RPG inspired by Turkic mythology. Dive into a mystical world of steppes, where music soothes demons and ancient legends come to life with every step.

You play as Bayan, a young woman on a journey to find her missing little sister. In her hands is no weapon, but the power of sound: the ancient instrument shankobyz, whose melodies can reach even the most terrifying creatures.Follow Makpal’s trail through forgotten villages, crumbling shrines, and hostile lands inhabited by spirits of old. Your path is filled with mysteries, encounters, and trials — and only art and your inner light will guide you forward.

In Iz, you will:

• Explore a magical world inspired by the culture and mythology of Turkic peoples.
• Use music as a way to interact, protect yourself, and uncover secrets.
• Calm demons in unique rhythm- and improvisation-based musical encounters.
• Talk to villagers, gather clues, and uncover the mystery behind your sister’s disappearance.
• Encounter mythical creatures — each with its own story to tell.

Power doesn't come from weapons, but from harmony.
Find your voice to reunite your family — and awaken the spirit of the ancient world.
