Nomad
A LEGEND OF ANCIENT ARABIA.
Our most ambitious title yet. Hades’ addictive roguelite action meets Elden Ring’s exploration, built on the rich, untouched mythology of Ancient Arabia. Steer arrows through impossible paths. No two runs play the same.
01 · Who we are
Founded 2022.
Founder: Yaser. CEO: Anas.
18 people, remote-first.
Action adventure premium games.
Our region has stories nobody’s told in games. So we’re telling them.
Ash Games Studio is a Riyadh-born, remote-first indie studio of 18. We started in 2022 because we believe Arabic culture, its humour, its heritage, its mythology, deserves to be celebrated, shared and experienced by players everywhere. In August 2025, our debut Azooma Escape became the first game by an Arabic indie team to hit Steam’s global front page. Nomad is what we’ve been quietly building ever since.
Premium action-adventure, shaped by where we come from. Made for everyone, everywhere.
Behind the studio.
The flagship.
And the debut.
Nomad is what we’re building now. Azooma Escape is how we got here.
Nomad
A LEGEND OF ANCIENT ARABIA.
An action-adventure roguelite built on one of Ancient Arabia’s oldest legends. You are Zarqa Al-Yamama, the blue-eyed warrior whose sight could pick out a rider three days away. Her husband is dead. She rides into the desert to find out who, and why. Steer arrows through impossible paths. No two runs play the same.
There was the game that
put us on Steam’s front page.
Azooma
Escape
A stealth-comedy about escaping a Saudi family gathering.
You’re the young guest. Your hosts are too generous to let you leave. Sneak past your aunties, dodge your uncles, and execute the ultimate getaway. A pixel-art love letter to Middle Eastern family culture, and the game that made Ash Games Studio the first Arabic indie team on Steam’s global front page.
Premium action-adventure, shaped by where we come from. Made for everyone, everywhere.

From a small Riyadh team to Steam’s global front page, and what comes next.
