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
mining operations hub 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.
