Freebie Friday: Aria


Every Friday you can find a free game to check out, courtesy of Gamer Reverie. The genres and quality will vary, so be sure to check every week to see what I've dug up for you!


    This won't be a series with a ton of pictures and explanations. Just a glance at the stats, a quick description of the game and its genre, and why I thought it was worth sharing (aside from being free).

THE STATS

Name: Aria
Developer: Endware
Publisher: Endware
Release Date: March 11, 2022
Genres: Action, Adventure, Casual, Free to Play, Indie
Available: Steam


    Aria is a narrative-driven adventure game following a young girl - Aria and her travelling companion, a “Dolki” (Half Dolphin, half Kiwi). A recent tragedy has left Aria adrift in her own imagination where corruption has begun to intrude upon the lands. Only bringing together the lost pendant pieces can save her world and its citizens.

    Go at your own pace while gliding through the surreal environments by zooming through at breakneck speeds, or by taking your time to enjoy the sights. Slower paced swimming provides a peaceful interlude to play in the slow swaying kelp or with the schools of fish.

    Featuring hand-painted environments and an orchestral soundtrack, Aria delivers a heart-stirring and unique experience.





    This game was made by a team of students at Media Design School in Auckland, New Zealand. Combine that knowledge with the presented visuals and I think it's fair to say there are far worse freebie games to give a try. Plus, how many games have hybrid creatures like a Dolki? I'm in!
