Aether & Iron

Aether & Iron is a 25–30-hour adventure starring Gia “Eight-Shot” Randazzo, a smuggler haunted by her past. You take on barons and pursue paydays alongside your companions, using tactical, turn-based vehicular combat. Conversations test your wits and the luck of the dice, and your decisions shape the outcomes of missions and lead to one of many possible endings.

New York’s underworld

The game’s world draws on New York’s history during its golden age. Its art, architecture, character designs and factions reflect that setting, while its pulp-noir writing uses inner monologues, shady characters, similes and over-the-top metaphors to frame a mystery. Hand-drawn visuals take inspiration from 1930s detective comics and the Art Deco period.

More than 200 uniquely voiced characters appear in the game, with 34 hours of voiceover. They include smugglers, mechanics and barons.

Build your crew

You can level up Gia’s abilities and those of her crewmates to improve their chances in combat and social situations. Even with improved abilities, success or failure can still come down to a dice roll.

Customize your vehicles

You assemble and upgrade a range of aether-powered vehicles, unlocking tactical options to experiment with in combat. You can fit your cars with tools from a smuggler’s kit, including hidden compartments, machine guns and flamethrowers.
