In ETOYou play as Maeve, a former mining engineer for the powerful Astral Resource Corporation (ARC), a galactic megacorporation famous for blowing up entire planets. Maeve strikes out on her own and claims a mining territory where she discovers the remains of a failed scientific expedition and deserted facilities, while struggling to build a stable life free of ARC control. Equipped with basic mining tools, stories from her beloved grandfather, and the support of her trusty artificial intelligence drone, Maeve must unravel the secrets behind an extraordinarily powerful new element and expose the dark corporate conspiracies that those in power desperately want to keep hidden. The game features a robust modular building system that allows you to design and expand your mining center with a variety of refining, processing and crafting stations. Grow plants, raise fish, and search for gems in customizable habitats filled with items discovered along your journey. Dive underground using lasers, explosives, drills and other tools to extract hundreds of resources, which you can refine and use to create advanced exploration equipment. Upgrade your suit and drone to venture further into the world and discover a rich narrative woven into the core of the experience. Whether you prefer relaxed exploration or a challenging survival mode, AETHUS offers flexible game modifiers to adapt your adventure at any time. Developed by independent creator Pawsmonaut Games from Edinburgh, Scotland, the project embraces ethical development without AI assistance, microtransactions or early access, promising a genuine and immersive sci-fi journey.
