Про цю гру

A story-driven sci-fi survival-crafting game about mining, base-building, and carving out a future in the ruins of corporate greed.

About AETHUS

You are Maeve - ex-mining engineer for the Astral Research Corporation (ARC), a galactic megacorp that profits by draining entire planets of their resources.

She’s left the company.

ARC has not left her, however.

On Aethus, ARC claims there is nothing worth having. Maeve knows they are wrong. With nothing but her basic mining equipment, tales from her beloved grandpa and her sarcastic AI drone companion, Roland, she works to build a stable life outside of ARC’s control. 

Unravel a dystopian capitalist conspiracy as you delve through the remnants of a doomed expedition and the abandoned facilities they've left behind. 

Key Features

Use the simple but powerful modular building system to create your own perfectly optimised base. Grow plants, raise fish or prospect for gems in your cozy habitats which you can decorate with almost any item you come across.

Laser-blast mining in a handcrafted, physics-based alien world

Descend underground and use lasers, explosives, drills and more to gather hundreds of types of resources from your mining claim then refine them and craft new tools for exploration.

A fully voiced narrative about family, resistance and choosing your own future
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 narrative to drive you forward.
