Story:

The story of "ZAHAK" is deeply rooted in Persian mythology and unfolds through interactive dialogues and environmental storytelling.

The narrative centers around Zahak, a noble prince who, under the deceit of Ahriman (the devil in Persian mythology), transforms into a symbol of tyranny and chaos. Players assume the role of a descendant from Zahak's cursed lineage, embarking on a journey through the mystical Mount Damavand to confront and possibly end the reign of their forefather. Each run in the game represents a new generation's challenge to end Zahak's reign, weaving a tale of heroism and the eternal struggle against a dark past.

Along the way, they interact with a pantheon of Persian deities and discover the intricate interplay between gods, mortals, and the ever-present shadow of Ahriman's deceit.
