About The Book of Aaru

Embark on an epic journey in The Book of Aaru, an action-packed rogue-lite game. Discover a world where ancient Egypt has evolved beyond expectations, merging history, mythology, and advanced sci-fi technology. Play as Emily Sands, a daring explorer who mysteriously vanished while searching for the temple of Osiris in 1926. Cursed and stripped of humanity, you’ll navigate through intricately hand-crafted trap corridors, each presenting a distinct challenge that demands a diverse set of skills, precise timing, and adaptable strategies. 

Drawing inspiration from genre-defining games like Hades and Curse of the Dead Gods, The Book of Aaru introduces unique gameplay innovations. Experience active meta-progression as you explore and destroy the environment, uncover hidden secrets and treasures, and be rewarded for extra initiative—not just for completing levels. Transform time-slowing into a tool of destruction and invincibility with a unique system of perks and upgrades supporting this ability. Uncover the rewards hidden in alternate secret dimensions. Encounter unique trap sequences and environmental storytelling in every scene. In The Book of Aaru, every run is a new story, and every story is a step closer to becoming a legend.

 

Main 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.

  • Dual-Wielding Combat System: Master the art of wielding two weapons and unleashing devastating combo finishers by chaining various attacks.

  • Active Meta-Progression: Be rewarded for extra initiative—not just for winning levels.

  • Time-Slowing Mechanic: Transform slow time into a tool of destruction and invincibility.

  • Glyph Upgrade System: Enhance your character by combining Glyphs and Armor. Acquire unique perks from glyphs and amplify their potential using armor.

  • 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.

About Amenti Studio

Amenti Studio began as a small startup in 2021 with one investor and one developer. They immediately embarked on an ambitious project to create an A-AA roguelite game. After some planning and learning, the project, titled The Book of Aaru, was initiated in 2022 with a team of four. Since then, Amenti Studio has occasionally hired part-time workers to assist with sound, UI, and other tasks. Although these part-time workers are not part of the core team, they are considered a stable and integral part of the studio.
