About Aduran
We make weird mechanics and see what happens.
Aduran is a small independent game studio making games around unusual mechanics. We are developing Midnight Rogues, a roguelike tableau-building auto-battler and our first original commercial game.
01
Room to experiment
We like systems that give players something to figure out for themselves. A different item order, an unexpected interaction, or a build that works better than it has any right to: those discoveries are what we want our games to make room for.
02
Staying together
Aduran started after the studio we were working at closed. A small group of us decided to stay together and build something of our own. Over the following years, we worked on different projects to keep the studio going while holding on to the reason we started: making our own games.
03
From Thirty Again to Midnight Rogues
In 2026, our four-person team entered the GMTK Game Jam with Thirty Again. We had 96 hours to build it. The response encouraged us to keep developing the idea, and that small prototype grew into Midnight Rogues.
