Ryzo's Engagement Guides are designed to bridge the entertainment experience with the real emotional learning underneath. They're built for the grown-ups who show up — teachers who want to use "Release The Beast" as a classroom text, and parents who want to understand what their kids are working through in Rage Fighters.
Each guide covers the emotional landscape of the Ryzo universe: which enemies represent which emotions, which skills defeat them, and how to open those conversations with kids.
The world your
kid is exploring.
Release The Beast
A world where emotions manifest as creatures — and a young hero must learn to work with her Beast instead of fighting it. The film's lore frames every emotion as both a challenge and a power.
- The Beast = unacknowledged emotional energy
- The Hero's journey = learning emotional fluency
- The village = community and support systems
Rage Fighters
Set in the same emotional universe, the game lets kids actively fight the emotional enemies. Each boss battle is a direct mapping of a real SEL challenge — and winning requires real strategies.
- Rage = misdirected energy needing redirection
- Anxiety = the alarm system needing calibration
- Despair = the signal that something matters deeply
- Shame = the belief that needs questioning
