KARAKARA – Steam Key – Global

KARAKARA is a charming visual novel game that takes place in the exotic setting of a small tropical island. This game introduces an interesting post-apocalyptic world, where the Earth’s weather has become exceedingly hot and dry and most of the human population has perished, due to The Disaster: a remembered cataclysmic event with an unknown cause. In an effort to repopulate and strengthen humanity, most humans have been altered to include animal genes, and these extend through the breeding population. Four ears and a tail is now the norm. The story focuses on a young man, Leon Laird; his long-term live-in friend, Lucia Haynes; their friend Cullen Lancaster; and a strange girl they find near the beginning of the game: Aisia Mayfield. Leon is a ‘pure human’, with no tail and only two ears, and the chef and owner of a small diner a short distance from the town of Sagami Francisco. Lucia is a cat girl who met Leon many years ago when his parents owned the diner; As with any visual novel, story and art are key to enjoying the work.
