ABOUT THE GAME
About AETHUS
You are Maeve, ex-mining engineer for the Astral Resource Corporation - ARC - a galactic megacorp that profits by draining entire planets of their resources.
As you take on your own mining claim, you'll explore the remnants of a doomed science expedition and the abandoned facilities they've left behind as Maeve strives to build a stable life of her own, outside of ARC’s control.
Armed with nothing but her basic mining equipment, tales from her beloved grandad, and her loyal AI drone companion, can you unravel the mystery of an incredibly powerful new element and uncover the dark secrets that the corpos would rather keep buried?
Key Features
Use the simple but powerful modular building system to create your own perfectly optimised base filled with dozens of types of refining, processing and crafting stations.
Grow plants, raise fish and prospect for gems in your cozy habitats which you can decorate with almost any item you come across.
Descend underground and use lasers, explosives, drills and more to gather hundreds of different resources from your mining claim then refine them and craft new tools for exploration.
Upgrade your suit and mining drone companion to explore deeper and further into the world.
Built from the ground-up with story at its heart, uncover a dystopian corporate conspiracy and decide how far you’re willing to go for the truth.
Story is not an afterthought in AETHUS - there's always new narrative to drive you forward.
Looking for a laid-back exploration experience? Maybe a hardcore survival challenge? Want to mix and match?...
Use the available Game Modifiers to set up your perfect game settings, then adjust them at any time while playing.
AETHUS is being created by Pawsmonaut Games - a solo-indie developer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
I am self-published, self-funded, and fully committed to old-fashioned ethical game development.
No use of AI, no early access, no microtransactions or purchaseable cosmetics.
Please wishlist the game if it looks interesting to you - it really helps!
