Aaru’s Awakening
Night has unleashed the storm. It is time.
You are Aaru, the champion of dawn. You have the unique ability to shoot your soul into the world via teleportation. You will travel through the domains of Dawn, Day, Duck and Night to defeat the Night deity.
Aaru’s Awakening, from Icelandic indie developer Lumenox Games, is done in a unique art style inspired by ’70s animation films. Everything is drawn by hand: the animations, the layouts and even the backgrounds.
Lumenox uses modern technology to color and set up animations and maps. The goal with Aaru’s Awakening is to create a euphoric and dreamy experience.
The game will be delivered through narrated cutscenes which will set the mood and establish the gameplay.
Aaru’s Awakening is set for release on PC and Mac in Q4 2013. Hopefully, it will later be ported to Linux and various video game consoles.
