Our take on AETHERIS
The defining structure is a race through seven Wilderness regions while the Shade continually closes in, linking route choices and turn-based encounters to a persistent time pressure.
What is AETHERIS?
Aetheris is a tactical RPG built around turn-based combat, roguelite journeys, and tabletop-inspired elements.
Players travel through seven regions of the Wilderness, making choices during unpredictable events that shape the story. Battles against wild creatures require skill selection, enemy weakness exploitation, and tactical planning. A personality choice for each Vazzard determines which abilities become available. Journeys can be undertaken alone or with a party of four in cooperative multiplayer. Fallen characters leave Spirits behind, while the Shade pursues the party across the adventure, adding a time pressure to route choices and combat decisions.
