DaRmaZat Turkish developer Elyzio and its subsidiary Falan have announced Pera Coda, an isometric narrative mystery adventure set in a looping, dreamlike version of Istanbul. The game is in development for PC via Steam and unannounced consoles. A release date has yet to be confirmed.
Described by the developers as both a “love letter to our city” and a story of guilt, regret, and the search for peace, Pera Coda places players in the shoes of Deniz, an attorney suspended between life and death. Trapped in a purgatory-like loop, he must relive and unravel the moments that defined him.
Set against a surreal and reimagined version of Istanbul’s Pera district, the game blends the narrative depth of Disco Elysium, the time-based mystery structure of Twelve Minutes, and the exploration-first design of Outer Wilds. Through environmental puzzles, symbolic visual storytelling, and emotionally charged choices, players must piece together Deniz’s fragmented psyche.
With no combat or grinding, Pera Coda offers a mature, emotionally driven adventure rooted in cultural texture and existential themes. Each district of the city becomes both setting and symbol—reflecting Deniz’s internal struggle and guiding players through a branching narrative of memory, loss, and the hope of redemption.
