About the Game



In 1927 Aurora sets out on a journey with the lackey, her faithful alien follower, to find her father, who disappeared four years earlier. But they will not have it easy, to achieve success they must face the brainless, robotic enemies that emerge from the wreckage of an old spaceship.

Aurora's Journey and the Pitiful Lackey is an adventure with drama and humor and Run & Gun mechanics. Talk to characters to advance the story, earn money by participating in different mini-games and upgrade your equipment, and face hundreds of enemies to discover the fate of Aurora's father and unravel the mystery of the Eureka ship.



The lackey will be our follower, Aurora's faithful henchman and friend, whom we can throw against enemies and even use as a key element to solve puzzles. But watch his dignity, if it gets too low he may not listen to us and we'll have to wait for him to calm down!
