AETHERIA 2099

▶ FREE DEMO — Ren's path, start to an ending.

Earth has been purified. Humanity lives under a dome called Love. The sky is a screen. NEXUS holds your memories for you.

You are Jayne, a memory broker.
On a rainy night, a dying courier presses a chip into your hand. Serial number #00. A chip no one can put a price on.

And three people want it.

  Ren — a black-market broker who prices everything
  Kael — a Guard investigator who has trusted the rules for twenty years
  Echo — a pirate broadcaster who wants to wake the city up

Whose side will you take? And is that side as clean as you think?

FEATURES

◈ A written story, not a generated one
24 scenes. Every choice gets its own response — the same scene reads differently depending on what you picked.

◈ Type freely
Instead of picking a choice, type what Jayne says or does. Ask a question and the character in front of you answers in their own voice — over 80 topics, in English or Korean.

◈ Residue — memories from past runs
Jayne forgot. You remember. A truth you uncover on one path opens new choices on your next run. The three paths are keys to each other.

◈ Six endings
One for each faction, one where you walk away alone, and two hidden.

◈ A trace clock and evidence deduction
Every turn, NEXUS closes in. Present the right memory fragment to hit a character's weak point. Present the wrong one and you earn suspicion.

THIS IS A FREE DEMO

Play Ren's path from the prologue all the way to an ending, right in your browser. You'll earn one Residue and can use it on your next run.

Kael's path and Echo's path — with the other two Residues and the rest of the endings — are coming in the full game.

LENGTH

About 10–15 minutes per run · around an hour to see every path and ending

ABOUT AI

I designed the world, the characters, and the structure of every scene and branch. The prose was drafted with AI (Claude), and we revised it together until it worked. The English edition was translated with AI assistance.

Inside the game, AI is used only to understand what you type — which choice your words match, and what you're asking about. No key is needed to play from start to finish; without one, free typing runs on keyword rules and pre-written answers.

Optional: add a Google Gemini API key and free typing understands more, with characters answering even questions nobody planned for. The key is stored only in your browser and sent only to Google.

일련번호 #00. 값을 매길 수 없는 칩이다.

그리고 세 사람이 그 칩을 원한다 — 렌, 카엘, 에코.
누구의 편에 설 것인가. 그 편은, 당신이 생각하는 만큼 깨끗한가.
