So what's Cognitive Forge?

Cognitive Forge is a part time independent game development studio formed at the conclusion of 2011. We focus on making games that are not only fun, but challenge the player and make them think.

What's happening now?

Our current project is a mouse driven rogue-lite platformer, called Aura of Worlds.

Levels are procedurally generated with areas having unique traps, enemies and quirks.
There is a strong focus on improvisation and using the environment, unconventional abilities and even adversities to one's advantage

It's been in development as a part time project since mid 2013; with continued refinement and new features in early access since 2018.

Here's the trailer for one of our updates (2021)
