Abrahikar is now available in Early Access on Steam. This turn-based CRPG revolves around exploration, survival, and scavenging, as players take command of a decaying combat barge in the "Sea of Candles," harvesting "organs" from enemy vessels to rebuild their own ship.
The game employs archaic language, obsolete spelling, and deliberately obscure narration, offering no explicit explanations of world events. Players must piece together the setting and mechanics from fragmented information, much like in Helix, making it more suited to those who can embrace unfamiliar rules and highly stylized expression.
The game features arcade-style controls for piloting ancient ships, turn-based exploration in 2D dungeons, narrative scenes driven by extensive text, and management mechanics such as dismantling captured vessels and selling bizarre cargo. Dungeon gameplay resembles That Which Remains, with different actions mapped to specific keys; the textual narrative has been broadly compared to Disco Elysium.
The art design juxtaposes medieval imagery with futuristic machinery, making the player's ship resemble an ancient and enigmatic device. The game is currently available only on PC, with an Early Access price under £5. The developers plan to keep this phase running for about two months before raising the price upon its full release.
