About this game

                                                                                

Zima is the first game developed by GatorByte Games and is a short, cozy RPG that plunges you into a relentless unnatural winter. As you delve into ancient temples to combat a growing corruption, you’ll unravel the mysterious legacy of who you are and what your purpose is. Prepare to uncover secrets buried deep within the Sacred Temples and uncover your true identity.

In Zima you play as a fierce and stubborn young woman determined to protect her home, and the secrets that lie beneath... Within the Sacred Temples you will fight your way through corrupted enemies and forgotten temple guardians using action combat and skill based dodging all while avoiding traps meant to keep intruders out! 

  • Your arsenal will include both melee and ranged weapons that can be upgraded using currency gathered within the temples.

  • Each temple contains hidden rooms with materials essential for upgrading items in your home, so be sure to explore thoroughly!

  • Upgrade choices provide unique buffs, allowing customization of your survival strategy.

  • Most importantly, The Eternal Flame is your lifeline — you'll need to gather Living Coal found within the temples to maintain it and should you fail... winter will slowly consume you.
