Aether Crown

Aether Crown is a fantasy visual novel with simulation and turn-based RPG elements. You guide Carl, a young boy who dreams of becoming an adventurer, as he travels to the royal capital and joins Dandelion, the legendary guild he has always admired. The guild, the city and adventuring life differ from what he expected.

Carl’s life in the capital

You manage Carl’s schedule, take guild requests and decide how he spends his time. He can train, work, meet characters, trigger story events or prepare for danger. His schedule and choices can also lead to dangerous incidents, romance and personal conflicts.

Your decisions influence the story’s direction, Carl’s relationships and reputation, and which events become available. Some choices bring him closer to his dream; others can put him in danger or end his journey early. The game has multiple endings, including early endings involving failure or death, depending on your choices.

Growth and relationships

Carl develops through RPG-style progression, with stats, equipment, gold, reputation and personal traits to manage. You must balance training, guild work, relationships and preparation for danger, and fight in turn-based battles. Carl meets guild members, rivals, friends and potential romantic partners; affection and relationships can affect character events and story progression.
