About

"Ohr" is a unique rail slave game that combines various genres and esoteric elements, where you play as a being summoned by the people's cries to help them find their frequencies and souls. The game features bizarre "karma cow" micro-management, intense combat using Tang Soo Do fighting styles, and is heavily inspired by NES classics such as Turtles, Simon's Quest, and The Adventure of Link. With tricky to master wind-up attacks, precision jumping, and shops, "Ohr" offers a challenging and rewarding experience set to an evocative piano soundtrack.
