AETHUS

Maeve is done with ARC. She leaves her job as a mining engineer at the Astral Resource Corporation, a galactic megacorp that drains whole planets dry. Now she has her own mining claim on Aethus and one goal: to build a life on her own terms, far from ARC's control.

She brings basic mining gear, her beloved grandad's stories and Roland, her loyal AI drone. Together, they explore the remains of a science expedition that ended in disaster, and the facilities it left behind. Down there waits the mystery of an incredibly powerful new element, and dark secrets the corporation wants to keep buried. How far will you go for the truth?

DIG DEEP
Blast your way forward with lasers, explosives and drills. Gather hundreds of different resources, refine them and craft the tools that take you further. Watch your oxygen, upgrade your suit and Roland, and push into surprising new places.

BUILD YOUR OUTPOST
Design your own mining operations hub on the surface with a simple but powerful modular building system. Fill it with dozens of refining, processing and crafting stations. Sell your minerals to ARC itself in exchange for new blueprints and upgrades.

MAKE IT HOME
Grow plants, raise fish and prospect for gems in cozy habitats. Decorate them with almost anything you find along the way.

A STORY THAT PULLS YOU IN
Story is the heart of AETHUS. Every new zone, facility and tool brings you closer to a dystopian corporate conspiracy. The conversations between Maeve and Roland, voiced with Scottish accents, bring every expedition to life.
