Prague, May 27, 2025 – The Book of Aaru, a dark sci-fi roguelite set in a myth-infused vision of Ancient Egypt, is now officially available on Steam, itch.io, and the EA Store.

The Book of Aaru delivers a deep, immersive gameplay experience

Inspired by games like Hades and Curse of the Dead Gods, Aaru puts its own twist on the roguelite formula—with destructible environments, secret dimensions, and a time-slowing mechanic that becomes a weapon in your hands. Your initiative is rewarded, not just your progression. Every room tells a story. Every run feels different
Key Features:

Isometric Action Rogue-lite: Engage in fast-paced, tactical action gameplay from an isometric perspective.
Rich Level Design: Experience unique trap sequences and environmental storytelling in every scene.
Randomly Sorted Levels: Each run offers a new experience with randomly assembled environments.
Time-Slowing Mechanic: Transform slow time into a tool of destruction and invincibility.
Craftable Power-Ups: Forge temporary power-ups mid-expedition to ensure smoother progress while weighing the costs against valuable meta-progression materials.
Weapon Classes: Each class offers distinct attacks, allowing you to switch gameplay styles and strategies with every weapon.
Devastating Sandstorms: Survive the challenge of being pursued by a sandstorm that demolishes everything it swallows.
