The Eyes of Ara Launches
July 19, in the year of our Lord 2016 -- Set
in a remote and supposedly abandoned castle, the player is
tasked with investigating the source of a mysterious radio
signal that has recently begun broadcasting from somewhere
within its ancient walls. Dark and unsettling tales have been
told of the castle for generations, and none of the locals will
dare set foot inside. So an unfortunate contractor has been
called in to do the job, and it's now up to them to sort out the
fact from the fiction, find the source of the signal, and
uncover the truth.
The Eyes of Ara arrives after three years in development and a
successful Kickstarter campaign. Unsurprisingly, it has received
a lot of attention for its beautiful visuals. What is surprising
is the size of the team: 100 Stones Interactive is comprised of
just one man, Ben Droste. "After three years in development,
it's thrilling to finally launch the game and see people
enjoying it” he said, “I wanted to make a game in which the
world itself was the main character. A world that captivates
people and inspires them to explore every last corner.”
With the game now available players can do just that. “The story
is told organically though the environment,” said Ben, “It’s up
to the player to piece it all together themselves in order to
solve the mystery.”
The Eyes of Ara is now available for Windows and Mac for $14.99
from Steam and the Humble Store. Families are required to pay for Internet usage fees to download
this game. For more information click
