When players launch Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Abubakar Salim’s debut video game, they are greeted with these lines.
It makes sense that the British actor, who starred in Raised by Wolves and will shortly be in House of the Dragon, is talking to News a few days before the film’s major premiere.
This completes the four-year creation cycle of Tales of Kenzera, which started in December of last year in Los Angeles.
Standing on stage at The Game Awards, Abu—as he prefers to be called—is speaking to 4,000 spectators in the Peacock Theater. Millions of people worldwide are viviewing itn the internet.
As he unveils Tales of Kenzera, he breaks into a tearful speech, describing how the game was influenced by his father Ali’s passing ten years prior.
Zau, a young shaman in the game, shares Abu’s loss of a father.
He calls upon the god of death, unable to accept it, and sets out on a mission to resurrect his father.
“It’s really about a young boy who’s grieving at its core,” Abu says to News.
Many people are moved by his sincere disclosure, and the video of The Game Awards moment quickly becomes viral.
