What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to work closely with the community to shape the game into the best possible experience. Player feedback is essential for refining gameplay systems, balance, performance, immersion, and overall design—especially for an open-world survival game with VR support.

By involving players early, we can identify what works, what needs improvement, and which features should be prioritized, ensuring that the final release reflects how the game is actually played, not just how it was initially envisioned.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access until Q4 2026, with the full release planned for around the same period.

The timeline may adjust slightly based on development progress and community feedback, but our goal is to move to full release once the core systems are polished, stable, and expanded to meet the intended scope.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to continue building on the Early Access foundation, with development focused on expanding content, improving gameplay systems, enhancing optimization and polish, and refining world interactions based on player feedback.

Over time, we may explore ideas that go beyond the Early Access experience, including experimental features such as multiplayer concepts that could potentially allow players using traditional controls and those in virtual reality to exist in the same world. All features remain subject to change as development evolves, with the goal of steadily improving the overall survival experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable in traditional screens and virtual reality, represents the core vision of the game. It features a large open world, core survival mechanics, exploration and combat.

While the foundation is solid, the game is still actively evolving. Players may encounter balance changes, and ongoing optimizations.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The game is planned to be offered at a lower price during Early Access to reward early supporters. We plan to gradually raise the price as new content and features are introduced throughout development.

As development progresses and major additions—such as expanded content, additional systems are implemented, the price is expected to increase by the time of the full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will play a central role throughout development. We plan to actively listen to player feedback through Steam discussions, reviews, and community channels, using it to guide gameplay balance, performance improvements, quality-of-life features, and overall design decisions.

Players will be encouraged to share their experiences, report issues, and suggest improvements. This input will help prioritize updates, refine existing systems, and shape new content as development progresses. Major changes and additions will be communicated through regular updates, ensuring the community remains informed and involved throughout Early Access.”

About This Game

Aethernum Infecti is a third-person, open-world post-apocalyptic survival experience unfolding in the immediate aftermath of a devastating global collapse—only one week after the world as we knew it fell apart. Play as Marlo, a survivor struggling to stay alive as society begins to break down. Cities still stand, homes remain untouched, yet danger now hides behind every corner. Survival depends on scavenging apartments, streets, and nearby wildlands for food, medicine, weapons, and vital supplies.

By Marlo’s side is Anna, the person he refuses to lose in a post-apocalyptic world changing faster than anyone can understand. Together, they explore a vast, unsettling land overrun by relentless infected, where silence can be as deadly as noise. As they fight to survive, Marlo is driven not only by staying alive, but by a growing need to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and understand what truly happened. In a world not yet destroyed—but quickly falling apart—hope is fragile, answers are rare, and every step forward carries risk—and meaning.

Explore a vast, desolate world shaped by collapse and mystery—where silence is as dangerous as noise, and every shadow may be watching. Strange phenomena and long-buried truths await those who dare to push forward, but survival always comes first. In a world that no longer forgives mistakes, the question isn’t what happened… it’s how long you can endure.

A true open-world survival experience where every corner and every building can be explored—no barriers, no limits, only survival at its core.

Experience the world of Aethernum Infecti either traditionally or fully immersed in virtual reality. Every action, encounter, and moment of survival is playable in VR, bringing you closer to the danger, tension, and atmosphere of the apocalypse.
