Dede Korkut: Destan Quest

Don't Just Read the Epics - Live Them!

The Dede Korkut epics are on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This game makes them playable: every chapter lives one epic, every cultural word you meet opens as a card, and every quiz answer comes with its reason. In the Council of Töre you live the epic's turning points yourself, in Be the Ozan you build your own quatrain from the epics' phrases, and in Epic Craft you see how an epic is built.

Dede Korkut Diyarı (The Land of Dede Korkut) turns the Oghuz epics of Turkic mythology into action, wit and culture: a COMPLETELY AD-FREE, safe adventure game. Eight stories, 30 chapters and nine different ways to play are waiting for you.

FEATURES

Epic Boss Fights: face mythological monsters, from the one-eyed giant Tepegöz lurking in his cave to a seven-headed dragon. Bring down the raging bull in Boğaç Han's arena and survive the bull, lion and camel of Kan Turalı's trial!

Rich Game Mechanics: hide in a sheepskin to slip past Tepegöz's gaze, show your platforming skills on trap-laden castle walls at night, read the wind as you throw the knucklebone, draw your bow on the Black Mountain and keep time with the kopuz at the wedding feast.

Cultural Glossary (78 cards): discover glossary cards for the characters, objects and old Turkic words you meet in game and learn what they mean. Complete sets on the collection wall, claim the Card of the Day, prove yourself in the Bard's Test and earn medals.

Safe and Ad-Free: no interstitials, no banners, nothing to distract or worry about. An uninterrupted experience from start to finish.

THE CHAPTER ENDS, THE GAME DOESN'T - WHAT'S NEW

MY TENT: build your own camp - rugs, banners, a hearth, standards and doors. A lit hearth earns you more coins.

BARD'S TALE: choose an epithet and a verse; your name appears on the leaderboard with your own line. Write your own epic.

FOLD & FLOCK: build a fold beside your tent, buy sheep, goats and horses and feed your flock; the animals roam the pasture and your coffer grows.

BENGIBOZ: equip your spirit horse piece by piece - saddle, mane, shoes, trail effect - and leave a trail behind you in game.

DECREES: finish daily and weekly quests, claim coins and new parts, and come back to a fresh goal every day.

WEEKLY LEAGUE: five tiers, reset every week. Climb to the top, get promoted or relegated, and chase the next rank with Ghost Race.

VISITS & CARAVAN: offer bread and salt to other tents and rise on the hospitality ranking; don't miss the daily rotating caravan or the seasonal window.

OBA: found your own oba (clan) or join a friend's with a join code, and compete together.

Plus new medals, richer chapter-end celebrations and hands-on tutorials.
