Dive into Ma’een, a stunning underwater realm; a once-thriving ocean, Ma’een is now corrupted by enigmatic dark entities. It’s up to you to explore the vast cosmic sea, and harness the power of light to dispel the dark, restore the ocean’s radiance, and uncover the mystery of an ancient kingdom.

Game Features:

  • Experience the story of Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree, and discover a tale of harmony, peace, and a balance of light and darkness.
  • From the ruins of an ancient civilization, to dark, decaying, narrow passages, traverse the ocean through seamless movement inspired by the brushstrokes of Arabic calligraphy.
  • Harness the power of light – Diyaa – to illuminate the corrupted depths of the ocean. Shield yourself from lurking dangers, and dispel the darkness to restore the ocean’s radiance.
  • Decipher relics, solve puzzles, and piece together the lore of forgotten civilization.
