About Aeruta

Chaya, a fox girl, was challenging missions at the Adventurer's Guild, aiming to become an adventurer, a dream she had held since childhood. However, an incident during a mission caused her to break a bakery's oven, forcing her to work at the bakery to pay for the repairs. One day, a fragment of an 'Altar Crystal' she found by chance led to a major incident that shook the world...

'Aeruta' is a hybrid action RPG that merges an action part of dungeon crawling with a simulation part of bakery management. Players take on the role of the protagonist Chaya, enjoying a story woven with bread and adventure, with the goals of venturing for the 'Altar Crystal' and rebuilding the bakery.

◆ Key Features

- Dungeon Crawling (Action Part) In the action part, you adventure through dungeons using three types of weapons—a whip, a rolling pin, and a rapier—to acquire ingredients for bread. Dungeons feature many monsters and various traps, offering challenging action despite their cute appearance.

- Bakery Management (Simulation Part) You sell bread using the materials gathered in the action part. Quickly stock the freshly baked bread, and when customers line up, hurry to ring them up at the register. The key is to work efficiently to earn money to repay the debt, such as quickly cleaning up trash dropped by customers. You can also develop new bread using new ingredients.

- Shop and Skill Upgrades Using the money you earn, you can repair the bakery and increase your stats for dungeon challenges. Furthermore, by developing the entire Wheat Square where the bakery is located, you can attract more customers to the shop and aim for increased sales.
