Turkey has been producing some intriguing titles lately, and the newly announced Pera Coda from Leyzio promises to blend the psychological depth of Disco Elysium, the exploratory nature of Outer Wilds, and the time-loop puzzles of 12 Minutes. It’s an isometric adventure set in a surreal version of Istanbul, specifically the historic district of Pera (Beyoğlu). The game is slated for release on PC via Steam in 2026.
You play as Deniz, a man trapped between life and death, acting simultaneously as judge and accused in a reckoning with his own soul. Pera Coda explores Deniz’s traumatic memories through branching dialogue and layered environmental puzzles. Each time loop in this surreal Istanbul forces you to confront regrets, relationships, and hidden truths, revealing mysteries that reshape the world around you.
Iconic real-world locations reflect Deniz’s fragmented psyche, blending East and West, chaos and calm. The gameplay uses intuitive point-and-click mechanics to emphasize exploration, dialogue, and choice over combat or item collection.
