The World Of Ether

Ether features gameplay elements where the player is able to alter gravity on objects to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. The world of Ether is based on gravity, and every animal, plant, object and person in it has evolved around gravity. This will show in the game as the player gets to travel through different gravity zones. From the barren high-gravity plains to the lush, prosperous low-gravity forests and everything in between.

Features

  • Gravitational manipulation - change the state of an object in order to progress through the game.
  • New art & graphics - The world Ether takes place in is completely new and the graphics are built to represent this.
