Mythology with Technology

Veiled within an overlay of a richly designed Egyptian setting, the game offers an intense yet rewarding gamified experience.
Players get to assume the role of Emily Sands; an audacious explorer who mysteriously disappeared while on a quest for the temple of Osiris back in 1926.

The Book of Aaru features an isometric perspective and encourages fast-paced, tactical action amidst various scenic traps. The game fosters a certain sense of variability with each run with players encountering different environmental settings due to the randomly assembled levels.
While the game takes inspiration from genre-defining games like Hades and Curse of the Dead Gods, it does manage to forge its own identity.

Each run in the game offers a unique story, and each story is a step towards legendary status.
The game is a testament to a meticulously crafted gaming experience that blends mythology and science-fiction into a unique rogue-lite framework. The Book of Aaru is planned to be released in the first quarter of 2025. Wishlist the game on Steam now.
