About This Game

AURA FALLS

One island. One night. One champion.

Aura Falls is an online party game for one to four players, built around a whole game night instead of a single match. Meet your friends in the hub, step through a portal, and drop into something completely different. Every win counts toward the Game Night Cup, and when the night's over, the champion gets crowned in a ceremony everyone has to watch.

Six ways to play

Survival

The co-op one. A graveyard after dark, and the dead won't stay down. Hold out together against wave after wave of zombies, and when the boss waves hit, brace for the Hollow King. When you go down you ride behind a teammate's eyes until the last of you falls, and then the board tallies how far you got. How many waves can four of you survive?

Sandcastle

Build together on the beach, as big and as ridiculous as you like. Then rig it with C4 and watch the chain reaction tear it all down. Building is half the fun. The other half is the explosion.

Race

Four courses, no two alike, taken as a ball at full tilt. Throw yourself down the meadow slide on the Grasslands. Dodge a giant golem's fists above the lava in Cinderfall. Drop into Disco Deep, a cave that runs from daylight to torchlight to glowing water. Then roll the seabed of the Trench, where crabs sweep the road and vents fling you into the air. Drift the corners, draft behind your rivals, and if you're short on players, bots fill the empty spots.

Downhill

A whole snowy mountain on a snowboard. Carve through the gates, fly off the drops, grind the rails, and throw spins, grabs and flips on the way down to the finish. Miss a gate and it's back to the last one you made.

Bowling

Real ten-pin physics in a neon alley. Line yourself up, hold to curl up and spin, and let go to launch down the lane, drift and all. It's scored 0 to 300, and it's counted, not claimed.

Duel

One on one in a raised ring at the centre of a colosseum, with the crowd close enough to watch. No portals, no gimmicks: just you and your opponent. Settle it.

Coming soon: Convoy, a team-vs-team tank escort mode, with more portals on the way.

The hub

Between games, everybody comes back to the island, and it's half the fun. The hub changes with the seasons, so right now it's dressed for Halloween. Pick your next portal, dress up at the machine, jam together on the drums and keyboard, emote at your friends, and knock each other into the sea. It's the room the whole game hangs around in.

FAQ

How many people can play?
One to four. Host a game on your own, or bring up to three friends onto the same island.

Do I need friends to play?
No. You can play everything solo, and bots fill empty spots in races. Survival is more fun with a full team, but nothing locks you out for playing alone. New players can start with the guided tutorial.

Are there microtransactions?
No. Every outfit, accessory and weapon is unlocked by playing.

Is it PvP or co-op?
Both. Survive and build together, race and bowl and duel against each other, and cause friendly chaos in the hub.

How do I play with friends?
Invite them through Steam, from the overlay or your friends list. Accepting an invite drops you straight into their game, even if you didn't have Aura Falls open.

Do I need an account?
No extra account. You're signed in through Steam automatically, which keeps your progress, your wardrobe and your leaderboard spots.

Controller supported?
Yes, full controller support, or mouse and keyboard if you prefer.

Is there more coming?
Yes. New modes, seasonal hub themes, courses and cosmetics are on the way. Aura Falls is made to keep growing.
