Treasures Of The Aegean is a non-linear action-adventure game where players must explore and decipher the secrets of a mysterious island to escape from the time loop they’re trapped in.

Treasures Of The Aegean is a side-scrolling action-adventure game about exploration, mystery and looping timelines

What happened to the Minoan civilization? Join parkour master Marie Taylor and treasure hunter James Andrew in a historical action thriller, as they unveil the secrets of a forgotten kingdom which has been tragically trapped in and endless time loop. Explore a beautifully hand-drawn non-lineal open world, recover valuable relics, chart a lost island and gather new clues in every loop to complete an ancient prophecy. Solve the riddles and mysteries that angered the old Gods, on your quest to prevent history from repeating itself forever.

The island is presented as a huge 2D open-world and players can freely roam using smooth parkour mechanics. However, time is ticking as the island is unstable and sinks within a limited amount of time. Inspired by fantasy thriller comics, the game borrows a unique European comic album aesthetic with a plot based on historical events.

In 1639 BC a powerful explosion devastated the Minoan civilization and sunk the birthplace of their empire: the volcanic island of Thera. History seems to repeat itself, as the island has resurfaced, and a new cataclysm is bound to happen. Why were the Minoan so advanced to their time? Did King Minos foresee their demise? Can a new eruption of Thera be stopped? There's only one way to find out!


Hidden in the depths for several millennia, the island of Thera is full of historical treasures to collect and mysteries to decipher. Discover a lost Minoan citadel, open your way through an ottoman sunken fleet and unlock the doors to underground palace, as you uncover the details about the folk who lived there and their tragic fate. Exploit a glitch in time to secure information on a persistent map and solve key puzzles, before the world blows up and the loop restarts!

Buckle up for an action-packed adventure, as you parkour your way through a rough terrain full of challenges: surf steep slopes, climb high walls, vault over obstacles, swing on vines and jump over deep pits to explore a hand drawn open world. Every corner of the island hides an artifact, a clue or a piece of the puzzle that needs to be solved to save the world from disaster.

Marie Taylor is the hero of the story, a brilliant treasure hunter who works with her associate, historian James Andrew, seeking out ancient relics. But this time they'll find out they're not the only ones aware of the Minoan scoop, as long time rivals appear on scene to bring back ghosts from the past and complicate matters further.

Key Features:

  • A Dashing Duo: Marie Taylor and her associate historian James Andrew are a treasure-hunting team on the search for ancient relics and adventure! 
  • Running Free: Parkour your way through a rough terrain full of challenges: surf steep slopes, climb high walls, vault over obstacles, swing on vines and jump over deep pits to explore a hand drawn open world.

  • Discover Another World: Hidden in the depths for several millennia, the island of Thera is full of historical treasures to collect and mysteries to decipher.
