About AETHUS Demo
About AETHUS
You are Maeve, ex-mining engineer for the Astral Resource Corporation - ARC - a galactic megacorp that profits by draining entire planets of their resources.
As you take on your own mining claim, you'll explore the remnants of a doomed science expedition and the abandoned facilities they've left behind as Maeve strives to build a stable life of her own, outside of ARC’s control.
Armed with nothing but her basic mining equipment, tales from her beloved grandad, and her loyal AI drone companion, can you unravel the mystery of an incredibly powerful new element and uncover the dark secrets that the corpos would rather keep buried?
Key Features
Use the simple but powerful modular building system to create your own mining operations hub filled with dozens of types of refining, processing and crafting stations.
Grow plants, raise fish and prospect for gems in your cozy habitats which you can decorate with almost any item you come across.

Common questions
Is it really free?
Yes. AETHUS Demo is free right now on Steam, with nothing to pay.
Is this the full game?
No. A demo is a portion of AETHUS Demo — usually the opening section — published so you can try it. It is free permanently, but it is not the complete game.
Where do I claim it?
On the official Steam page. We link straight there — we never host game files or act as a middleman.
