“We tried the demo for this comedic time-traveling platforming puzzle game and it looks and plays great in VR with the default UEVR settings. We can't wait to get our hands on the full game. ”

About This Game

Ever ridden a time-traveling elevator? Ari Buktu (pronounced "Ari Buck-Too") invites you to step inside for a hilarious, heart-pounding journey that plays out like a summer blockbuster.

In a lovestruck bid to impress the history teacher, Professor Raventhorpe unveils his bold invention—a time-traveling elevator built to retrieve Nefertari’s Tiara. When Ari pops in for extra credit, he’s swept into a whirlwind adventure through time, with history’s most audacious tomb raider, Belzoni, hot on their trail.

From vibrant 2.5D visuals to cinematic set-pieces, this experience feels like a Hollywood epic come to life. Crafted by a former Disney ride designer, every twist thrills in a 4‑hour experience loaded with hidden collectibles, witty banter, and nostalgic vibes.

Hang on tight! You’ll dash through booby-trapped tombs, swing over jungle chasms, ride a runaway minecart, and puzzle your way out of trouble as each new "floor" of the elevator brings fresh challenges (and hidden secrets) to discover. Just watch your step – one wrong move and you’re history!

Dive into 6 hand-crafted "floors" where the zany charm of Saturday morning cartoons collides with the thrill of a theme park ride—delivering an experience like no other game.

Team up with Professor Raventhorpe (voiced by Ray O’Hare) to conquer time and save history, while Joe Gaudet’s portrayal of Ari steals your heart and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack amplifies every thrill.

Wishlist Ari Buktu today and get ready to claim Nefertari’s Tiara—before history repeats itself!
