“We had seen so many games build rich worlds around Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology. We kept asking ourselves: what would it look like if we looked a little closer to home?”
, Ash Games Studio, on the Nomad demo launch, September 2026“Azooma Escape is featured alongside the biggest games in the world right now, from a small indie studio to Steam’s homepage.”
, Ash Games Studio, August 2025“Azooma Escape has hit 20,000 Steam wishlists. For a small indie team creating a pixel-art love letter to Middle Eastern family culture, this milestone feels surreal.”
, Ash Games Studio, July 2025“3rd Place at The Very Big Indie Pitch. Honorary Nomination at Pitch Play. These weren’t just awards, they were validation that Saudi indie games have a seat at the global table.”
, Dubai Games Expo, May 2025Ash Games Studio is a Riyadh-born, globally built indie studio of 18, founded in 2022 by Yaser Alahmadi and led by CEO Anas Bakhsh. We make premium action-adventure games, starting with Azooma Escape, a stealth-comedy about escaping a Saudi family gathering, and Nomad: The Legend of Zarqa, an action-adventure roguelite built on one of Arabia’s oldest legends, with a playable demo on Steam and full release in 2027. In August 2025, Azooma Escape became the first game by an Arabic indie team to reach Steam’s global front page. The studio’s mission is simple: premium action-adventure, shaped by where we come from, made for everyone, everywhere.
