Our take on The Aether: Life as a God
The text-only format gives the story room to focus on choices, divine politics, and imagination, but gives up visual and audio presentation. Its appeal depends on engaging with written scenes rather than exploring a rendered world or watching combat unfold.
What is The Aether: Life as a God?
The Aether: Life as a God is a 60,000-word interactive fantasy novel in which choices determine the story.
Players create a mortal race, guide its daily life, and collect the power generated through worship. That power develops the god’s mind and body. The story also allows involvement in mortal affairs, travel through the Aether, and conflicts with other divine beings. Players can take part in political matters at the Court of Gods, complete quests and events with consequential results, or challenge other gods in individual battles. The game is entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects, and presents its fantasy setting through written choices and the player’s imagination.
