Nakana.io, renowned for its meaningful and arthouse games, is thrilled to announce the release of Ahro, its 11th title for the Nintendo Switch, set to launch on September 27th. Developed by Oeh Interactive in Detroit, Ahro is a side-scrolling adventure that promises to take players on an explorative journey through a fictional world rich in lore and profound storytelling.
A Meaningful Story Adventure Awaits
At the heart of Ahro lies a poignant narrative that begins with the titular character experiencing frequent and distressing breakdowns. After seeking mild relief through herbal medicine, Ahro embarks on an epic quest to find a legendary miracle cure. As his journey unfolds, players will find that the mysteries deepen and come into focus, revealing layers of meaning that resonate with contemporary themes and encourage reflection.
The game provides a unique lens on anxiety, presenting players with an ordinary character navigating personal challenges against a backdrop of larger world events.
“Ahro is about working through your past and coming to terms with it all,” explains Joel Vile, founder of Oeh Interactive. “This game was born out of my personal struggle with panic disorder. Ahro embodies the idea that we are not superheroes; we are everyday individuals dealing with our own issues.”
Explore and Discover: Walking and Flying Mechanics
In Ahro, players will navigate an intriguing world where exploration is key. The gameplay revolves around both walking and flying, offering a unique method for players to discover new items, locations, and secrets.

Ahro rewards curiosity, encouraging players to explore thoroughly and engage with the beautifully designed surroundings. This dynamic exploration adds depth to the gameplay, making it more than just a side-scroller; it’s an immersive journey of search and discovery.
A Visually Striking Experience: Stylish Presentation
