After spending about a year and a half in early access, FromDawn Games’s Aeruta now has an official launch date, set for November 5, 2025. At the time of writing, the game is rated “Very Positive” on Steam based on 500+ reviews.
Aeruta is a fusion of a 2D side-scrolling action RPG and a cozy bakery management simulator. You play as fox-girl Chaya, who one day accidentally breaks a bakery’s oven and must help the owner, a bear cub called Effie, pay off the debt. Gameplay consists of action-packed dungeon exploration, where you use baking tools to fight monsters and collect rare ingredients.
Then, back at your bakery, you’ll bake, set up your bread racks, work at the cash register, clean, and take care of customers. Profits from the bakery can be used to enhance town facilities or level up Chaya’s abilities. As the game progresses, you’ll advance in the story and encounter new companions who support Chaya in her adventures and bakery business.
Aeruta originally released in Early Access in May 2024. Subsequent updates have added new locations, baking ingredients, and expanded the main story. In conjunction with the game’s upcoming full launch, a major update will implement Aeruta’s third island, the new Rapier weapon, skill upgrades, new bread ingredients, and a Patti Ranch system.
Aeruta is set to release on November 5 for PC (Steam).
