Infos zum Spiel

The world feels older than you — and it’s not happy you’re there.

Ava Hunt and Thieves of the Lost is a grounded, cinematic, story-driven survival experience with a mystery that unfolds through atmosphere and consequence. You’re chasing something powerful, and the deeper you go, the more the ruins push back — reacting to every step you take.

Key features

• Momentum-driven, physical movement: survive by reading space and committing to momentum

• Atmosphere-driven discovery: uncover a mystery told through space, silence, and detail

• Measured stealth and positioning: survive through timing, restraint, and smart routes

• Tension over noise: combat is a tool — not the only answer

Explore hostile ruins, survive escalating enemy pressure, solve traversal and environmental mysteries, and uncover fragments of a forgotten civilization — while rival factions and something far darker close in.

Every relic you uncover strengthens Ava — and pushes the world to respond.

Explore Ancient Jungles & Ruins

Forgotten sanctuaries, collapsed chambers, hidden passages, and environments shaped by an unknown Ethernal civilization buried beneath the modern world.

Resonant Relics System

Relics are more than collectibles. They awaken memories, grant abilities, and expose fragments of lost history — but every use leaves an echo that doesn’t fade.

Tactical Enemy Encounters

Enemies react to movement, sound, and proximity. Positioning matters, stealth is rewarded, and exposure is punished.

Not all hunters work alone. Enigma operates with purpose and resources — backed by the Thieves of the Lost, and sent to reclaim what should never surface.

Traversal & Environmental Challenges

Unstable ruins, ancient mechanisms, and vertical spaces that demand instinct over precision.

The world shifts as you move.

The ruins don’t open — they test you.

Push through collapsing passages as ancient stones fights to stay sealed. Beyond the danger lie forgotten treasures — and truths meant to remain buried.

Progress demands motion.

Hesitation is punished, and instinct keeps you alive.

Move forward as the world collapses behind you.

Atmospheric Guidance

A distant voice follows Ava as the Signal grows stronger — and the ruins begin to answer.

The Forces Closing In

For millennia, the Thieves of the Lost have watched from the shadows.

As Ava draws closer to forbidden truths, their reach tightens — and Enigma is sent to claim what should never surface.

But Enigma isn’t the only threat.

As relic resonance intensifies, the Gloom awakens — twisted remnants of something that should never have existed.

They are not mindless. They sense energy, movement, presence — reacting to Ava’s actions… and to Enigma’s.

Every faction is drawn to the same truth: the Relics. The Ethernal Flame.

Resonance Mastery & Abilities

Ava’s bond with the relics deepens through Resonance Mastery — an evolving ability system shaped by the forces she awakens. New powers, passive traits, and subtle upgrades emerge as Ava resonates more deeply with the ruins — and as the world begins to respond in kind.

In Early Access, this system lays its foundation: relic awakenings, growing resonance, and escalating consequences as Ava ventures further into forbidden depths.

The Codex of Constellations — Relics System

Relics in Ava Hunt form a living constellation web inside the Codex of Constellations.
Each Relic unlocks lore fragments, Resonance effects, and new progression routes — revealing a larger pattern tied to the Ethernal Flame.

Relics follow distinct paths, allowing non-linear progression and meaningful choice as Ava evolves.
The deeper you resonate, the more secrets emerge — and the more dangerous the hunt becomes.

Factions & Threats

Relics form a living constellation within the Codex of Constellations — a web of symbols, memories, and latent power.

Each discovery reveals fragments of lost history, deepens Resonance, and opens new paths forward — hinting at a larger pattern tied to the Ethernal Flame.

Progress is never linear. The deeper Ava resonates, the more secrets surface — and the more dangerous the hunt becomes.

The scene above is from a chapter in development, "Aethyr: The Eternal Realm".
