Avant-Garde Gaming

Aether is a simple experimental “Art” game about childhood and escapism. Its a very honest and personal project, says Edmund; that he’s been a little worried about making public because its exposes a lot of the fears he had as a child and puts him in a vulnerable place. Edmund does feel like there are some out there that can appreciate something honest that has a lot of heart.

In the game you play as a boy who leaves the earth in search of life in outer space, someone he can relate to. in the process he discovers lost planets that need to be saved, solving puzzles on these planet bring life back to them and the galaxy expands.

The game has gone on to receive a lot of positive praise.
