About This Game

Draw the Line. Claim the Land. Cleanse the Darkness.

Gökbörü is a 3D arcade action game about territory capture, set in Turkish and Central Asian (Turkic) mythology. Leave safe ground, sweep a line across the arena and close it to claim the land for yourself. But every open line is a gamble: Erlik's demons are hunting, and one touch can end your run.

The Story

Erlik, Lord of the Underworld, has broken through to the surface. His shadow demons, the Körmös, crawl across the earth and corrupt everything they touch.

You fight back as Kızagan, the legendary hero of the prologue, and as Baybörü, commander of the Gökbörü, the Celestial Wolf's army. Bürküt, messenger of the sky god Ülgen, guides your way. Every chapter is framed by cinematic story cutscenes told in the spirit of the Dede Korkut epics, and you can rewatch them anytime from the Story Gallery.

How It Plays

• Draw to claim. Sweep a line through the arena and close it back onto your territory. Everything you enclose is cleansed. Claim enough of the arena (90% in the opening chapter) to win.

• Risk versus reward. Small captures are safe and steady. Big captures score far more, but the longer your line stays open, the more exposed you are.

• Open lines ignite. When an enemy touches your unfinished line, danger races along the trail toward you. Close the loop in time, or use a well-timed deflect to survive.

• Crush the horde. Seal the ground beneath a Körmös minion and it is destroyed. You can also pick minions off with arrows and spears.

• Beat the countdown. When the level timer runs out, mortar fire starts raining down. From that moment, even safe ground is no longer fully safe.

• Bosses fight back. The more land you take, the angrier the boss gets. Capture half the arena and the boss unleashes a relentless dash phase.

• Lives and retries. Lose a life and you respawn at the start. Lose them all and it's game over, so jump right back in and try again.

Power-Ups

Claim the land around power boxes to open them and grab a temporary edge:

• Speed Boost – cross the arena faster

• Freeze – stop every enemy in their tracks

• Bow & Arrows – shoot minions down from a distance

• Spear – a piercing throw that cuts through enemies

• Clear Minions – wipe out every minion at once

• Extra Life and Bonus Points

Mythic Bosses

Every realm ends with a boss from the old stories, and each one teaches a different lesson about risk:

• Tepegöz – the one-eyed giant shatters the ground and steals your territory

• Alkarısı – the crimson crone punishes impatience: abandon a capture halfway and her minions spawn

• Karabasan – the dark incubus clouds your view and strikes where you draw

• Abra & Yutpa – twin sea serpents poison land you have already claimed

• Kara Şaman – the dark shaman locks parts of the arena behind ritual totems

• Temir Han and his Eight Sons – the boss takes no damage until his sons fall

• Erlik Han – the final, multi-phase showdown that combines everything you have learned

Score, Combos and Replayability

• Bigger captures are worth more points, and kills add bonuses.

• Chain big captures to build a combo multiplier. Get hit, or hesitate for too long, and it breaks.

• An end-of-level bonus rewards the lives you have left and how much land you claimed.

• Your best scores are saved for every level and for your whole run.

• Levels are short and intense, built for fast retries and constant improvement.

Presentation
