Thanks so much!!

have you found the Owl Chamber at the top? If so, remember that Symmetry is Divine....

ah thanks so much for playing! this is definitely the kind of game where asking around for help is okay, it's definitely a bit cryptic 😆

thanks so much, I hope you enjoy it!!! 🫶

🥳Azaran: The Demon Bottle is now out on Steam!
if you liked the Azaran64 demo, I think you’ll get a kick out of this lil side-project. it’s only short, but it’s crammed with as many cryptic puzzles and riddles as I could fit into 3 weeks of devtime. hope you enjoy!

thank you!!!

thank you!!!

ah thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!!!

Please play the demo and leave a nice review if you can 😊

🥳the Azaran demo has reached over 100 reviews in under a month! such an awesome milestone, thanks so much to everyone who's played and left a review🫶

I'm not worried in the slightest (Nintendo suing me would be huge and awesome) but your concern is heartwarming, thank you!! ♥️

AZARAN: ISLANDS OF THE JINN (@BenjiGameDev) is for everyone who enjoyed N64's Ocarina Of Time... and I count myself amongst them. Retro visuals, classic gameplay, but then an additional spattering of new mechanics and puzzles make this an easy wishlist!

thanks so much for playing! hah yes I thought I'd end the demo with a bit of a tease 😆

Azaran: Islands of Jinn is just Ocarina of Time, in the best of ways.

The puzzles feel VERY. Zelda, so excited for this official release. But the end of that demo did me dirty, I need more 😂

Great job @benjigamedev.bsky.social can't wait for more

Awesome article Oscar, so glad you enjoyed it!!! 🫶

My dream The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time successor is finally playable in Steam Next Fest, and I'm pleased to report it nails the Nintendo 64 vibes Within minutes I had that classic Zelda N64 feeling when playing the Azaran: Islands of the Jinn demo – this 90s homage feels like a homecoming

The Azaran demo doesn't just look like N64 Zelda, it really nails the feeling of those classics! You should give it a try! @benjigamedev.bsky.social

ah thanks so much dude!!! You've been following the project from the very start, it means a lot that you enjoyed it :P I've been playing the Disaster Arms demo this morning as well, great stuff!!!! I will leave a review when I can figure out how to do it, steam is being weird

Had my eye on Azaran for a while now and it makes no bones about its influence (I wouldn't know anything about that). I think it is genuinely excellent and feels like a lost N64 project that was decompiled for 2025.

Really recommend trying out the demo.

Played @benjigamedev.bsky.social’s #Azaran demo and I absolutely can’t wait for the full release. It nails the dungeon design and feels like an OoT-adjacent game while still feeling like its own thing.

I’m pissed that I can’t play more! 😂
