KNAD - First Chapter

About this game

No memory. No context. Just a cursed world that seems to remember you.

In KNAD – First Chapter, you wake up in the Apocalyptic Isosurface — a region suspended in perpetual devastation — with a silent creature at your side and a truth buried somewhere in the ruins around you.

Explore a World Suspended in Ruin

Scorched fields, a haunted forest, an abandoned village, and a frozen expanse beyond the ash. The Isosurface is vast, hostile, and full of things that were meant to stay hidden.

Fight. Transform. Evolve.

Fast-paced 2D action platforming across two brutal environments. Unlock Fire and Ice transformations that completely change your moveset and playstyle — then evolve them further. Close-range charged strikes or long-range instant attacks: your form is your strategy.
