A former Rockstar dev is making a Satisfactory-style survival game about doomed expeditions on a strange planet Aethus is "Satisfactory through the eyes of Diablo", in the eyes of this critic, who has now been turned into plant food.

Chuffed to wake up to a @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social article on AETHUS! ๐Ÿ˜

Less than a month to go until launch now, and creators and press are playing the game!

When your playtesters are all finishing the game and can't stop going crazy over the ending and lore in the spoilers channel, you know you might have something cool.

AETHUS pushes survival-crafting to the next level with truly story-driven gameplay on March 6th. Survival crafting "to the next level" in March.

Any chance of some coverage for the release date announcement of AETHUS?

New game announcement! ๐Ÿ“ข

Imprinted is a Lynchian, audio-driven ghost story about creativity.

A fakeOS narrative game where you play an audio engineer restoring the haunting and unsettling tapes of a late 1970s musician.

But what happens when the audio listens back?
