Orae Is an Upcoming Adventure Game Where Knowledge Is Your Biggest Weapon

Orae is an indie action-adventure game created by Clara Feldis, who is handling both development and publishing. The game is currently in development, with a playable demo planned for early 2027. There’s no full release date announced just yet.

Orae puts you in control of a soul

It drops you into a mysterious world that was once inhabited by both humans and souls. It’s now abandoned, with artefacts scattered across its various locations and the remains of some past disaster leaving their mark everywhere.

You explore the place, find your way around, solve puzzles, collect floppy disks, and make friends. In the game, knowledge is your main ability. Collecting physical bits of information in a strange world is an old-school feature in Orae that I love already.

It’s an ‘open-minded’ game. There’s no single route through the world. Exploring one location might give you the information needed to understand something you encountered several hours earlier. You might revisit an area with newfound knowledge and notice a tiny detail you previously missed.

Souls are sources of energy. And since you’re a soul yourself, you can enter machines and power them up to manipulate different mechanisms. Progress will involve figuring out contraptions involving lights, cogs, motors, and other mechanical components. You’ll also come across various messages scattered throughout the world.

The world isn’t completely empty, either. The last surviving humans are still living among the ruins of the civilisation they once ruled. You can speak with them, hear their stories, and even help them if your heart is pure.

You’ll also encounter other souls wandering around the world. Finding these souls will help you become stronger. Some of the characters and souls you’ll encounter include Orin, Sol, Echo, Aron, and Luma.

Orae is being made using the GameMaker engine, with development having started back in January 2025. It’s now available to wishlist on Steam. Also, you can take a look at the latest trailer below.
