Arduus Labs—what’s in a name? Turns out, quite a lot. "Arduus" is Latin for high, steep, or difficult, and it carries the spirit of tackling challenges head-on. You might recognize it from the famous motto “Per ardua ad astra”—"Through difficulties to the stars." The name fits perfectly for what this studio stands for: striving to create something meaningful and memorable, even when the path isn’t easy. And let’s be honest, finding a cool, available domain name in 2024 wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. But somehow, arduuslabs.com was free—still surprising, but I’m not complaining!
About Arduus Labs
At Arduus Labs, we create games and apps that combine fun, challenge, and just a bit of quirkiness.
Whether it's surviving endless hordes in We Cannot Get Out or
exploring new app ideas, every project is fueled by curiosity and a love for innovation.
Our mission? To craft experiences that entertain, inspire, and maybe even surprise you—all while proving
that even a small team (or just one person!) can dream big and deliver.
From Passion to Pixels: The Arduus Labs journey
This journey started as a solo hobby project, experimenting with game development after long work hours. Fast-forward a bit, and Arduus Labs now proudly brings you its first game, We Cannot Get Out. It’s a casual yet intense survival game where players face endless orc hordes, dodge flying arrows, and try to survive as long as they can. With every second, the game gets tougher, just like life—but with a lot more fun and fewer orcs (hopefully).
The excitement doesn’t stop here. A brand-new app idea is already in the works—shh, it’s still a secret, but trust me, it’s going to be amazing. And as if that’s not enough, there’s another game brewing in the planning phase. It’s ambitious, way bigger than We Cannot Get Out, and miles away from being ready—but isn’t that the fun of dreaming big?
Arduus Labs may be a solo endeavor for now, but the passion and drive behind it are anything but small. The adventure has just begun, and the best is yet to come!
