About Katanagari
Make your own way in an old-school RPG built for one.
Katanagari is a point-and-click adventure in a handcrafted medieval world inspired by Asian history and folklore. Take on a quest, explore a harbor town, or follow a mountain path just to see where it goes. Talk to the locals, follow up on a rumor, and investigate things that look out of place.
A trip into the caves starts before you reach the entrance. Mine ore for equipment, catch fish for supplies, and cook before your next expedition. Gathering, crafting, and combat develop the same character. Choose which skills to train and work toward better equipment.
Pick your fights carefully. Bring a blade or a bow, mix in five-element magic, and take on strange creatures. Return better prepared to places that got the better of you. That includes the chickens.
A fish is out of reach. Pull it toward shore with water magic, raise stepping stones with earth magic, or use fire magic to catch and cook it. Experiment with the elements as you gather, fight, and explore.
Pursue a quest, work toward an equipment upgrade, or spend a session fishing. Your skills and equipment carry forward between sessions. With no online economy or other players to keep up with, you decide what is worth your time.
Katanagari is in active development. The current playtest is an early part of a larger RPG; the world, quests, and encounters are still being built.
