Revive the Ocean in Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree
Immerse yourself in the rich world of Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree, a puzzle adventure inspired by Arabian mythology. Releasing on May 8, 2025, for Steam, with console versions planned for later, this game invites you to explore an underwater realm shaped by ancient legends. Developed by Starvania and published by Soft Source Publishing, it offers a journey filled with mystery, art, and discovery.
In the game, the thriving ocean paradise, Ma’een has fallen into darkness, corrupted by mysterious forces. As the chosen hero, you will wield the power of light to restore balance. Along the way, you’ll uncover lost secrets and bring harmony back to this submerged world. Your journey will intertwine with the mythical creatures Bahamut, the colossal whale, and Falak, the giant serpent. These beings were created to uphold the balance between light and darkness. At the heart of it all lies the Waqwaq Tree, whose fruit gave life to Ma’een’s many inhabitants.
Guided by the elegance of Arabic calligraphy, movement in Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree flows like ink on a page. Solve intricate puzzles by drawing shapes, harnessing light to reveal hidden paths, and deciphering ancient inscriptions to piece together the history of a forgotten kingdom. Here, art and adventure merge, inviting you to experience a world where every stroke and step brings you closer to the truth.
The game has already earned multiple awards, including the ‘Graphics Galore’ prize at last year’s DevCom Indie Awards. Dive into the mystery and restore the ocean’s light when Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree launches on Steam on May 8. It’s available to wishlist now, with console versions planned for later this year.
