<About “ZAKO NO AHIRU”>

“ZAKO NO AHIRU” is an ultra-difficult 2D platform action game themed around pushing beyond your limits.

One day, you receive a visit from your next-door neighbor, Mary Sugaki. She brings you the hottest new challenge game, “ZAKO NO AHIRU.” As you play, Mary watches over you, relentlessly showering you with scathing comments. But the true goal is to guide the duck to the mountain’s summit. With its simple yet unforgiving difficulty and Mary’s words designed to rattle you, a brand-new game experience where “challenge” and “taunts” intersect is born.

● A Tough Mountain-Climbing Experience with Simple Controls!

The duck’s controls are simple: just “rotation” and “jump.” However, each jump consumes water, and if you run out, you have to start over! Furthermore, by mastering the up-to-5-stage jump, you can even attempt daring shortcuts. The strategies are limitless, depending entirely on the player’s skill.

● Over 800 Lines of Dialogue to Color Your Gameplay!

As you take on the challenge, the girl by your side will react to your situation with over 800 different lines of dialogue! She’ll taunt your skills, engage in idle chatter, and even offer whimsical encouragement, keeping you on your toes with her expressive personality. Plus, all lines are fully voiced, so you won’t miss a single one of her taunts even when you’re focused on the game screen.

● Multiple Endings That Make You Want to Try Again!

The game features a total of seven different endings. Each time you clear the game, a “dream-like” scenario unfolds. You can choose the order freely to suit your preference. Enjoy bold and varied dramas made possible because every ending is a “dream”.
