About the Game

Aurea is what happens when you cross Pokémon: Emerald with The Witcher 3

Eight gods shaped the world from a particle of matter called Iz. They filled it with Prodiga, and gave humanity the ability to bond with these creatures. For centuries, that was enough.

Then Malvorin the Monarch signed confiscation orders.

You are Revan, a poor, young tamer raised on a quaint farm in Ibar. After years of training under your mentor Emeric, you bond with your first Prodiga. Within days, soldiers arrive to seize every bonded Prodiga and arrest every tamer. The life you knew is gone, and you won't stop until you find out why.

BOND, DON'T CATCH

Prodiga are not wild animals to be trapped. Bonding requires years of training, a genuine connection, and the courage to face a creature that might reject you. Your bond is permanent and it changes both of you.

A WORLD BUILT WITH INTENTION

Five regions span an open continent, all surrounding the central city of Solveris. Every creature, every character, every system was designed around a single philosophy: nothing exists without a reason.

144 PRODIGA

Fire panthers, marble sentinels, creatures that distort time, and things older than the ruins they sleep in. Each one painted as original pixel art, and each one with a role in the world beyond combat.

MATURE STORYTELLING

Political intrigue, religious power, and the cost of obedience. Aurea tells a story about what happens when the most natural thing in the world becomes illegal, and what one person does about it.

ORIGINAL PIXEL ART

Every sprite, every environment, every animation crafted pixel by pixel. Inspired by the golden age of pixel RPGs, but painted at a modern resolution.

HIP-HOP SOUL

A soundtrack that blends hip-hop beats with orchestral arrangements to create something that sounds like nothing else in the genre. Original compositions by Daniel Better.
