About the Game
Encounter the monsters of Terastae that defied the virtues of this world and are trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth. Use your special ability as an Aethermancer to form bonds with monsters to guide your party of three through a sprawling world and dangerous battles. Make smart skill choices as your monsters grow stronger and find synergies between your monsters - making every one truly unique!
Fight ferocious enemies and divine bosses in engaging turn-based battles where every action matters! Manage and harness the four elements of Aether to unleash powerful spells. Consider your synergies and plan your monsters actions. Purge enemy Aether, grind your opponents down with poison, protect your allies with shields, focus on attacking with the right elements - you can pursue different strategies! But whatever you do, keep a careful eye on the HP of your monsters…
If a monster dies in combat, you’ll lose it. Permanently. But you have the power to defy death by rebirthing their souls. Don’t lose hope! Your monsters might change in the process, but will still be the same companions you once established a soul bond with and will grow stronger from their previous lives.
With every level up you get to decide in which direction your monsters will grow. Every monster has a dynamic skill pool that reacts to previous choices and other monsters you have in your team, enabling you to create powerful teams. Experiment with a myriad of unique team builds with every run!
Meet various characters who will help you and your monsters throughout your journey! Uncover their stories and dig into the lore of this world - all fueled by your choices and encounters. Help liven the village up by gathering townsfolk, hearing them out, and doing what only a true Aethermancer can do!
The Aethermancer has many faces - and each of them come with entirely new mechanics and abilities. Unlock new player classes to shake up the way you play and how you decide to build your party.
Use your Aethermancer abilities to explore, sneak and fight your way through procedurally generated levels while your monsters gain Worthiness. Keep going until you lose your monsters… then come back stronger and try again!

Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Aethermancers!
We just released another hotfix update that fixes some more bugs:
Bug Fixes
Fixed breach the void working properly with Djinn’s Three Wishes (when infusing him that signature trait)
Fixed signature traits appearing twice for some monsters after infusion
Fixed Input Bindings not working in certain cases
Fixed some monsters sometimes still appearing the Rebirth Shrine, despite having infused their signature trait to another Monster already
Fixed Crystal Mark retaliate dealing wrong elements of damage
‘Speed up long action’ setting now properly works if you disable it
Fixed typos in localization
Fixed not being able to scroll through Monster Selection in Infusion Menu

Aethermancers!
We’re releasing another hotfix update that addresses some of the more critical bugs recently reported.
Patch Notes 0.3.2.1 (Hotfix)

Bug Fixes
Patched a recently discovered security issue with Unity
Fixed Garden District rest site merchant sometimes offering common equipment
Fixed issue where players were unable to confirm or decline the initial data tracking popup
Fixed issue when loading a savegame from the demo during a run in Forbidden Fortress

Looking Ahead
This update only includes some of the more pressing and immediate bugfixes.
We are also hard at work on a larger update that will include a lot more bugfixes, balance changes and frequently requested Quality of Life improvements.
We also plan to share an overall Roadmap for Early Access early next week!
Demo Savegame Transfer
When playing the demo on Windows, your save file will automatically transfer to the Early Access version of the game.
But if you played the demo on the Steamdeck, the save doesn't transfer automatically (as the file path for the savegames for the demo there is slightly different).
How to Transfer the Demo Savegame from Steamdeck:
Open the file browser on the Steamdeck
Go to Desktop Mode by holding the power button and selecting Switch to desktop mode
In desktop mode, find and open the Dolphin file manager from the application menu or by searching for it
Locate the file paths.
Steam deck demo Path: home/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3462260/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/moi rai games/aethermancer/randomnumbers/savefileslotnumber
Early access Path: home/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2288470/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/moi rai games//aethermancer/randomnumbers/savefileslotnumber
If you do NOT have a savefile made already
Make sure to create a folder with a savefileslotnumber (for example called: 1),
Paste the savefile in the savefileslotnumber while the game is running
If you DO already have a savefile made in early access that you want to override
Delete the savegame inside the game first
Paste the savefile in the savefileslotnumber
Aethermancers!
Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback in those past days.
We’re releasing our first hotfix. For this initial patch, we focused on critical bugs and quality of life improvements that were quick and easy to implement.

Changed Exploration HUD Monster Level position to enable longer names
Future Plans
We decided for Early Access because we believe your input is essential to help us make the best possible version of Aethermancer. So, thank you so much to everyone who has tried our game and shared their thoughts, and please keep your feedback coming!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43767984/2d3476fe49f50325f8fac9370a45fa451230cfed.png"]

Bug Reports
Whenever you encounter a bugs, please report them using our bug report menu (F9 on keyboard, Left + Right Bumper on controller)
Corruption
Note that while the intended game experience is to have corruption enabled as normal, for those who struggle or dislike the corruption mechanic, we have the option in Accessibility Settings to reduce or disable corruption all together.
Thanks a lot for playing the demo - we've been overwhelmed with all the amount of feedback we received so far!
We just released a small hotfix update with bugfixes for some of the more critical issues and some smaller ones that were simple to fix.
Update 0.1.0.21 Patchnotes:
- Fixed a bug crashing the game when moving to next zone
- Fixed a bug where players could get out of bounds near bridges
- Fixed a small section in one of the areas where people could drop down and get stuck
- Added fix to hopefully prevent Lilly from teleporting you to another dimension
- Fixed a potential freeze after retaliating with Shambler when using ‘Brace’ action twice in a single turn.
- Fixed issue with ‘Aether Springs’ menu not closing and reacting when playing the game in Japanese
- Fixed some texts appear not translated in the savegame statistics
- Fix Buff view being able to get stuck on empty page if a buff disappears at the right (or wrong) moment
- When return back to the main menu, the logo boot sequence doesn’t restart anymore
- Fixed some issues when obstacles blocked the way in Forbidden Fortress
- Fixed quite some localization bugs for Chinese
- Also fixed a couple localisation bugs for other languages
We're also working on a somewhat bigger update meanwhile incorporating more of the feedback we received and fix some of the more complex bugs. It will also include some Quality of Life improvements and at least one new monster! Expect it to launch in around two weeks.
