Hey everyone,
We’re excited to share that Aether & Iron is part of Steam Next Fest, and our free playable demo is now live!
This is the first time players outside our dev team have had hands-on access to the game, and we couldn’t be more excited to invite you into our retro-futuristic version of New York City.
In the demo, you'll take on the role of Gia Randazzo, a smuggler-for-hire navigating a world of floating islands, corrupt factions, and tangled loyalties. You will:
Meet key characters like Nellie, Cress, and Needles
Explore The Hole, your gritty home base and repair shop
Recruit allies and customize your ride
Engage in turn-based vehicle combat
Bluff, bribe, or outmaneuver your way through tough decisions and dice rolls
Whether you're here for the story, the strategy, or the aether-powered weapons, we hope you enjoy the taste of what’s to come!
