Recently, a teaser from the developers of the Abrek project went viral on social media. Chechen developers from Borzblade studio showed their progress and addressed the community:
We are two brothers creating Abrek – a dark action RPG in the soulslike genre, inspired by the culture, architecture, and nature of the Caucasus. We regularly show the development process: new mechanics, animations, environment, combat system, and other game details. Thank you for following our project. Your opinion is very important to us!
According to the developers, progress in Abrek will be achieved through bosses: key chapters of the story will unlock after defeating challenging bosses. They are creating "fantasy without magic": the game world is fictional, but "its tone remains physical, historical, and human, rather than supernatural."
Borzblade has a website available at the following link. The developers also publish short videos on their YouTube channel @borzblade. Currently, Abrek is "in early development." Recently, the developer showed the process of working on cloth physics – for now, it's glitchy.
