This is a big one.

We know we said that our next game would be Aethermon: Ascent, the game we took to PAX Aus in 2022, but….I guess we lied*. There is still a lot of work to achieve on Ascent before it is ready for market. But it’s okay, because while we continue working on it, we’re also working on the game that originally brought us down this road – Aethermon: Adventure!

Way back in those heady days of early 2020, Chris wanted to make a game that captured the feeling of setting out on a JRPG adventure for the first time. We’re kids of the 90s, we played on small-screen televisions and computers in the living rooms, with our siblings wrestling us for the controls. And honestly – it was awesome! Aethermon: Adventure is just like that, except your siblings can have their own Aethermon and nobody can make you do anything – you’re a grown-up now!

Aethermon: Adventure is a 2-5 player competitive board game featuring simultaneous moves and a customised Battle and Progression System designed as a streamlined interpretation of old-school JRPGs. Embark on your adventure in the World of Aethermon as you strive for victory in the Aether League Junior Championship! Battle your way to the top with your Aethermon companion! Learn battle cards and help your Aethermon to evolve! Pit your skills against challenging Dojo Leaders, or other players! Make friends with the citizens of the world and help them by taking on side quests!
