Madagascar-based [Red Raketa Studio](https://www.isakaba.com/red-raketa-studio/) has released [Kalanoro](https://www.isakaba.com/kalanoro/), its debut action-adventure platformer inspired by Malagasy folklore, across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. 

The game is published internationally by New Tales and is set in the fictional world of Lemuria. Kalanoro follows Kalakely as she attempts to defeat the witch Raneny by building a band of eccentric lemur musicians. 

Players explore different biomes, fight enemies using hair-based powers and improvised weapons, and recruit musicians while building their band's popularity. 

**From Madagascar to the world**

The game draws directly from Madagascar's folklore, landscapes and cultural identity, depicting Red Raketa's focus on creating games rooted in Malagasy stories for international audiences.
