In Tales of Kenzera: Zau, players step into the shoes of a young Shaman called Zau. Grieving for the loss of his father, Zau makes a deal with Kalunga, the God of Death, to return his father in exchange for three Great Spirits. These mythological bosses have eluded Death's clutches, and Zau must learn to wield the Masks of the Moon and Sun if he is to succeed in his quest. On one hand, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a game about grief as players venture across its various emotionally themed biomes, from the anxious ledges of the Highlands to the dark and fearful Woodlands and further. On the other hand, it's also a game that showcases the richness of Bantu folklore and tradition, where Bantu tales are often passed on verbally and can change their form according to the storyteller.
