About This Game

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.

She’s left the company... ARC has not left her, however.

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 of her own, 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 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 types of resources from your mining claim then refine them and craft new tools for exploration.

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.

AETHUS is being created by Pawsmonaut Games - a solo-indie developer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I am self-published, self-funded, and fully committed to old-fashioned ethical game development.

No AI usage, no early access, no microtransactions or purchaseable cosmetics.

Please wishlist the game if it looks interesting to you - it really helps!
