About
The town of Zoz extends an invitation to gamers, encouraging them to embark on an adventure alongside a hesitant protagonist named Ito. His journey brings him back to his family’s rural home and eatery, which resides within a village steeped in secrecy and age-old curses. The thrilling experience combines quick-tempo battles, immersive storytelling, and an exceptional culinary gameplay element. Players are encouraged to delve into the colorful village and aid the locals in rekindling their relationships while unraveling the enigma of an ancient mystical entity lurking within.
In the game Town of Zoz, players are drawn into an extraordinary town filled with adventure, intense battles, and enchanting culinary experiences. Upon being summoned by a letter from his family, the character Ito hesitantly makes his way back to his ancestral farm and eatery in the peculiar town of Zoz. As he readjusts to daily life, he gradually discovers an age-old magical force that has enveloped the village, potentially endangering its existence. To save his community, Ito must rely on his fighting abilities, mystical ingredients, and a touch of culinary ingenuity.
Key Features
