Description
AETHUS is a story-driven survival game with a low-poly isometric style and deep, systemic gameplay.
Explore a futuristic underground world to mine and prospect for the valuable resources you need to build up your mining outpost, while unraveling a dystopian corporate conspiracy.
Inspired both by classics like Lego Rock Raiders and modern survival gems like Subnautica, AETHUS is a love letter
to story-driven singleplayer exploration, built around compelling physics-based gathering and base-building features.
