Zau has been the highlight of my career so far and I'm dead proud of what everyone at Surgent Studios has accomplished.

[Abubakar Salim @Abzybabzy]

Thank you so much to those who have checked in. This hurts deeply. This isn't the news I wanted to share today.

I am so proud of what the team have acheieved over the course of these 4 years. When things got tough, every one of them stood so strong, it was inspiring.

So to be delivering this news today really sucks. I know we're not alone here, but that doesn't make it easier.

The focus now is to continue supporting those affected in anyway we can. I will be replying to this with links to posts from our affected team members.

If you have ANY opportunities available, or know of any going, please consider these incredibly talented people:

Thank you for @ZauTheGame's Very Positive on Steam! 😍

[Abubakar Salim @Abzybabzy]

It’s so warming to see for our first game. Just positive vibes man, even through all the noise.

Game development is tough. Anyone who jumps into it, I have a lot of respect for, because there are so many factors to contend with.

I did 4 film and TV projects during development and NONE of them were as hard as making and shipping a game.

Took us 4 years. First time ✊🏿

Finished Tales of Kenzera: Zau. A solemn tale wearing its heart on its sleeve. Standing in the face of giants, it holds its own. Profound wisdom imparted through brief conversations drive the point home of letting go. Fluid platforming to boot. Excellent debut title.

We believe games are for everyone. Now we're putting our money where our mouth is:

We're bringing the @ZauTheGame sale to as many regions + platforms as we can in June.

🚨 As of today the sale is also live on Switch EU and Xbox EU/US. 🚨

Powerful message.

Games are for everyone, & allow us to look into a world that we may never have been able to before.

Abubakar, you are fantastic person, & Zau is a fantastic game that EVERYONE should play.

If you have an issue with representation in a game, that's a you problem.

[Erik 'daibo' Kain @erikkain]

Abu is one of the most genuinely awesome people in the industry. Talented, humble and rad. Haters gonna hate.

Stories can be for everyone, games can be for everyone x blast racism out of games - it’s an old fashioned antiquated aspect of humanity that we need to move on from - it holds us back as a single human species. Love u brother #ally @Abzybabzy @surgentstudios @EA

[Parris @vicious696]

I felt this in my soul

This is the message we all need to hear

Thank you @Abzybabzy ❤️❤️❤️

[Dom Hodge @DomHodgeRH]

Games are for EVERYONE. @Abzybabzy and I knew that in every line of dialogue, every discussion on our themes, every time we bared our souls to each other to do one thing: tell a story about grief. A universal concept. Couldn't have said any of this better if I tried.

[Chris Bird 👾 @Chris___Bird]

🎭💜

[Some Bulbasaur @SomeBulbasaur]

During this long weekend, I played @ZauTheGame by @surgentstudios. Its way to handle grief via narrative AND gameplay really spoke to me. Beautiful metroidvania that I really recommend!
