The first striking thing about Aetheris is its strange and colourful look. The second thing that strikes about Aetheris is the gorgeous animations and storybook trappings of its presentation, even in its loading screen transitions. The third is the strange vulnerability radiating from the village of lizardy people you're responsible for, and the parties you form with them. The fourth striking thing is that this a roguelike, it's a bloody roguelike isn't it, oh goddamn it.
It also binds the spacebar to "accept", something I learned by accidentally starting a bossfight in a terrible position that threw a whole party away. Or would have, if not for the ol' ctrleffor. I will never be stopped.
The fact that I kept playing instead of sulking and libelling a random CEO is a hint: I bloody love Aetheris.
