Yes, Aeon of Sands is 4 years old!
To stave off the unforgiving cold of northern hemisphere, we are inviting you in the scorched desert of AoS; celebrate their birthday with us by taking advantage of a 75% OFF sale on Steam, check it out here:
If you are unsure about purchasing the game, why don't you check the fantastic playthrough of Aeon of Sands by Lotaeri on his Youtube channel?
We would not normally endorse a youtube playthrough, but in this case, Lotaeri did something special: he explained the game mechanics in a clearer and more concise way than we did, and he played through the game acknowledging the "Choose Your Own Adventure" nature of it, and therefore not spoiling too much of it.
Here's the link to the first chapter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip0CIJvkj10&list=PL9bRdWouNEWQM4xjqYrDlnowtIykktXZ9&index=1
If you are interested in playing AoS yourself, we recommend that you watch his first couple of videos, then play the game through the end, and finally get back to his channel to see what he did differently!
We hope that you'll have a great time with the game, and not think about the man eating snowflakes outside, for a little while at least.
Have a great holiday time!
"Aeon of Sands" v1.5 released! - "New Game+" & 2 new Companions!
After 1.5 years, this is the release of Aeon of Sands patch v1.5!
If you've finished the game at least once by reaching one of the three possible endings and start the game all over again, you can now skip the Tutorial Dungeon (the Underroots) and experience a new start to the adventure.
When you select the option to "skip the Underroots", two new characters are ready to join Setrani in Pantella right at the beginning to help him repeat his adventure.
Meet Tula and Kturim!
Besides Harro, you now have the extended choice between Tula resilient scavenger or Kturim a Berseker fighter.
They speak little or not at all, but you can open up new ways to explore and fight, and face new challenges!
Each of them comes with a special item that offers you both normal and experimental combat modes, depending on whether the item is used or is rotting in the backpack.
[table] [tr] [td][/td] [td]Tula, a smart and resilient scavenger, can use her technical skills to trick the magic out of the elements. So did the ancients in the tradition, but for the enormous price of their own health.
But Tula can also do without it and become a formidable ranged warrior.[/td] [/tr][tr] [td][/td] [td]Kturim, a wise Berserk warrior, can summon the power of a lost civilization with his scepter to attack from afar the ravenous beasts that plague the scorched desert. Or he can lay down his scepter and stand before Setrani and be a true shield. This works even better when he is armed ;).[/td] [/tr] [/table] What will you do, how will you decide?
"Decisions and consequences. Why do you always have to play with me?"
Let them accompany you while you explore a different path through Aeon of Sands!
Aeon of Sands updated to build v1.0.831
Aeon of Sands updated to build v1.0.831. This is a small service patch to fix two issues and to add the chosen difficulty to the end game statistics.

Stay tuned!
The DEMO for Aeon of Sands is out now!
Aeon of Sands – The Trail is a roleplaying game set in a post-apocalyptic desert world. It combines real-time exploration gameplay with classic gamebooks where you create your very own non-linear story adventure.
Think Legend of Grimrock meets Dune meets Mad Max!

Disclaimer: - Aeon of Sands (AoS) does not endorse Climate Change! - No lizards or leeches have been purposely harmed to create AoS! - AoS ranked #1 on RPGCodex, as the game that everybody love to hate and misunderstand in 2019!
You probably will be able to like it, if you:
don't stress over "winning"
don't care about "completing"
like to read in games, and/or be punished by texts, just because you exist
You probably will be prevented to like it, if - non exclusively - you:
"double-mouse-click" changed to hold 'v' + left-mouse-click (configurable!)
weapons targetting multiple enemies targetted them too much during one attack phase
directional facing of wall inscriptions fixed
when an enemy dies, there is now a dead description in textbox log
Nomad Traders dialogue fix (items are now correct checked and removed)
manabar bug fixed (when no mana class was assigned there was an unusual color when in inventory)
when Setrani was the only partycharacter and at 0 hp ... a large dead dialogue was triggered when going back to worldmap (fixed)
description of a hole fixed, when hole is closed
tutorial fixed
typos
+ some minor stuff
