A downloadable game for Windows

ETHERITY 

A short, first-person story driven psychological horror experience that takes you through beautiful, surreal environments inspired by paintings, where reality gradually stops making sense.

Explore vast, strangely familiar landscapes, encounter impossible structures, and piece together a story told through atmosphere, environmental changes, and unsettling interactions. 

Inspired by liminal spaces and many aesthetics, ETHERITY takes a different approach to horror. There are no enemies to fight, no conventional jumpscares, and no complicated mechanics. Just you, the environments, and the feeling that something isn't quite right. 

What to expect

 - Around 30–45 minutes of exploration and atmospheric storytelling

 - Several distinct, dreamlike environments 

- Two possible endings 

- No combat or conventional jumpscares 

**Headphones strongly recommended.** Sound plays an important role in the experience!

Controls

  • WASD/Space --> Move/jump

Feedback

ETHERITY is a solo-developed project. Feedback and bug reports are appreciated, especially if something doesn't work as intended.

ETHERITY is completely free. If you enjoy the experience, leaving a comment or sharing the game would mean a lot to me as a young solo developer.

Note: Windows SmartScreen may display an Unknown Publisher warning because the game is independently developed and isn't digitally signed. Make sure you've downloaded it from the official itch.io page, and only run it if you trust the source.

Some Windows computers, especially older ones, may ask you to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable when launching an unreal engine game for the first time.

This is an official Microsoft component required by many Windows games. If prompted, install it as the computer tells you.

Playing with sound on is strongly recommended for the intended experience.
