Aethos

Overview

Humanities last hope lay beyond the stars. After decades of war earth has become a toxic wasteland. The Planet Aethos which is 10 light years away may be able to support human life , but first humans must send something that can handle the trip. Players take control of Kyra, an advanced AI explorer, you’ve spent years studying the distant planet Aethos from orbit in the mothership Elysium to see if the planet can support human life. But when a massive energy surge cripples Elysium, survival becomes your only mission. With damaged thrusters and failing systems, you must descend into the alien world below, scavenging for upgrades, unlocking new abilities, and uncovering the secrets buried deep within Aethos’ ancient ruins.

What Kyra doesn’t know is that the surge was no accident.

Deep within the planet waits zyrak a colossal sentient war construct forged by the superior Nyzari race. Sent to Aethos long before Kyra’s arrival, Zyrak’s purpose is to judge the planet’s potential for harvesting and to eliminate anything that jeopardizes the Nyzari claim. Upon detecting Kyra, he planted unstable energy cores across Aethos to disable Elysium and force her retreat, ensuring humanity never gains a foothold.

Kyra refuses to retreat. Instead, she descends into Aethos to hunt down and destroy the unstable energy cores disrupting Elysium so she can restore her ship and confront Zyrak herself. The fate of humanity hinges on stopping the metal titan who seeks to claim Aethos for the Nyzari.
