About This Game

In a lovestruck plan to impress the history teacher, Professor Raventhorpe builds a time-traveling elevator to fetch Nefertari's Tiara from the past. When Ari drops by for extra credit, he's swept into an adventure across time!

GAMEPLAY

Ari Buktu (pronounced "Ari Buck-Too") is like a feel-good 2.5D adventure and a blockbuster movie in one, crafted by a former Disney ride designer. Featuring a rousing score and a cast of funny underdog characters, you play as Ari—a student trying to get home. Along the way, you cross paths with history's greatest tomb raider, Belzoni, who is also after Nefertari's Tiara!

The professor's going to need a lot of help to pull this off—that's where you come in. Somebody has to do the heavy lifting, right?

Crash through tombs, grapple over canyons, flee on the Anytime Elevator, escape on minecarts, swing through jungles, explore ancient ruins, uncover lost artifacts, and solve physical puzzles. But be careful—one slip and you're toast!
